We've known for a while now that the FRIGHT NIGHT remake was going to happen in Vegas.  We also knew that the new PETER VINCENT, the role made famous by the outstanding Roddy McDowell, was instead of being a late night horror host going to this time be a Chriss Angel style magician.

Ryan over at SHOCK TILL YOU DROP was out wandering around somewhere and found this really great first look at what the new character is going to look like:



Looks like they are living up to their word, definitely a Chriss Angel thing going on.

This one don't open till Oct. of next year so we'll be talking about this one for a while. 

That's David Tennant playing Peter.  Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Toni Collette fill out the casting.  Craig Gillespie directs.

Recognize that screaming dude?  If you're into the bank LINKIN PARK you should.  That's Chester Bennington from the band.  Looks like JIGSAW don't think much of his music though.

Chester knows his way around a movie set, he's had a couple of roles in the CRANK flicks and now it looks like he'll be getting himself in harms way in SAW 3D.

Of course as you already know SAW 3D opens everywhere and I do mean everywhere on Oct. 29th.

Is it just me  or does Chester look like Adam Sandler in this pic....just saying.

Seems like someone's lost his sense of humor.

Mega-director James Cameron took a little time during a recent Vanity Fair interview to let his thoughts be known about the new PIRANHA flick currently in theaters.  I think someone needs a nap:

Vanity Fair: Was there any sense of nostalgia when the Piranha movie came out last weekend?

"Zero. You’ve got to remember: I worked on Piranha 2 for a few days and got fired off of it; I don’t put it on my official filmography," he explained. "So there’s no sort of fond connection for me whatsoever. In fact, I would go even farther and say that... I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but that is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D. When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that’s not what’s happening now with 3-D. It is a renaissance—right now the biggest and the best films are being made in 3-D. Martin Scorsese is making a film in 3-D. Disney’s biggest film of the year—Tron: Legacy—is coming out in 3-D. So it’s a whole new ballgame."

Yeah buddy, what you just outlined is what makes PIRANHA 3D so much damn fun.  It's not taking itself so seriously that the joy is gone.  It' doesn't have it's own political and social agenda that it's trying to shove down movie goers throats.  It's just fun, easy going distraction.  Jeez, lighten up will ya. 

Seems that Cameron needs to step away from his 9 year mega projects and just make a good old fashioned FUN movie.

Coming out of the FRIGHTFEST UK con this weekend is a surprising bit of news that seems to have the horror world all abuzz.  Apparently Adam Green and Joe Lynch have decided to team up for a nifty sounding little project called CHILLERAMA.  Details follow:

The plot details follow the last drive-in theater in America that's closing its doors. The owner is having one final night. BC explains that it's not like Creepshow in that it all fits together as one movie.

The shocker? Production is almost complete and we will hear more near end of the year.

Rifkin's segment is entitled "Wadzilla", which is in sprint of '50s monster movies. It's about a guy looking to raise his sperm count, and things going disastrously wrong. The special effects work are being done by Chiodo brothers (Killer Klowns from Out Space).

Sullivan is presenting "Curse of the Werebears", which is like '50s surf movie (Beach Blanket Bingo).

Green presents "The Diary of Anne Frankenstein", which is a '40s war film starring Joel Moore (Avatar, Hatchet), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th films, Hatchet), and Kristina Klebe (Halloween, BreadCrumbs). It's about Hitler (played by Moore) creating the perfect killing machine to win the war.

Lynch will bring us a new zombie movie that's in the vein of '70s/'80s undead flicks. Lynch says the best way to sum it up is "when there's no more room in hell, the dead will f*ck the earth."

There will be no further details until end of the year.

Green is going to show "Diary" in its entirety to the crowd at FrightFest, catching everyone off guard. Holy crap! Can you say jealous?

No word on if this is theatrical or straight to home video, I would think the later but as soon as there is any official announcement I'll let you know.
