How the Predator will look in New PREDATORS Film.

As you now Robert Rodriguez is producing a new Predator film, with Nimrod Antal directing. The movie will be called Predators, and is set to be released July 7, 2010. The film involves an intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors, that are not always from outside their group.

The guy doing the special effects on the film is Howard Berger for the effects shop KNB. He recently did an interview in which he talks about what the predator is going to look like, and I think your going to like what he say’s.

I loved what the Predator looked like in the first film, he was real and gritty! After the first film, especially with the Aliens Vs. Predator movies, the costumes sucked. They just looked cheap and slapped together. They looked fake! They aren’t suppose to look fake! The rest of the effects in those film sucked as well. This new Predators film is going back to the original source of the costume design to bring it back to life.

Berger, who used to work for Stan Winston had this to say:
'We wanted to have the Predator look as it did in the original film. We went back and looked at the original. I actually worked in the shop with Stan Winston on the first film. It was great to be able to go back to the series having not been involved in any of the sequels, and it was also great to be able to make sure we built them as Stan Winston did.'

That just makes me happy. What makes me even more happy is what Berger has to say about what they look like, because he’s seen the new outfits.

'They look really fantastic. There’s a whole bunch of cool [Predator's] in the film, and everyone’s going to be very happy that we’ve been very faithful to the Stan Winston designs. It’s out next year. It’s shooting very soon.'

I’m excited to see how what this movie ends up being. I was not a fan of the Aliens Vs. Predators crap at all. So it will be cool to see a new Predator story unfold, with decent looking predator costumes and effects. What do you all think?

Twisted Disney Princesses art is Awesome!

This twisted Disney Princess art by illustrator Jeffrey Thomas is absolutely bad-ass. We have never seen the Disney princesses in this dark light before, but boy does it look fantastic! I would love to see versions of the movies transformed into this style. I know it would never happen, but holy cow would it be ever-so-cool. Its very easy to see hardcore heroines through the lens of a Disney Marvel mash-up. But the truth is, this art was done before Disney bought out Marvel. I would also love to see these come out in a McFarlane Toy series!

Check out the art below and tell us what you think!

Jennifer’s Body “BLOWS” At The Box Office.

So did you go see Jennifer’s Body this weekend? Not a whole lot of people did either so you are not alone! Not even Megan Fox’s good looks and diva attitude could help this movie. All the good parts were shown in the trailers and that’s pretty much it ya’ll. It brought in only $6.8 million and came in at 5th place. After this weeks leak about how Fox acted like a biotch to Michael Bay and then his Transformers 2 crew having his back saying she was very difficult to work with, she might be crawling back to him for forgiveness and maybe an even smaller part in Transformers 3, whenever that happens. It’s not like she’s getting alot of movie offers out there in lala land! With only a $16 million budget Fox will be struggling to make that money back!

On a cool side note, Halloween 2 has brought in over $30 million and has more than doubled it’s budget! And The Final Destination has brought in over $62 million with only a $40 million budget so it’s in the green also. The only reason I’m bringing this up is for horror and sci-fi movies to continue they have to make money and these have! District 9 has also done very well!

DVD Review: GRACE (2009).

Paul Solet has introduced us to Grace and the we are falling in love with baby Grace!

Grace is not your everyday little horror flick.First of all it’s “villain” is a newborn baby and alot of people don’t like children/baby scenes like this movie has.Don’t get me wrong,they aren’t that bad,it’s usually the people who over react!There is plenty of blood,flies and a cat!The creepier the better for me!It kind of reminds me of It’s Alive!Grace is my favorite “horror” flick of 2009…..so far!

Grace tells the story of Madelaine Matheson(Jordan Ladd) and her husband Michael(Stephen Park)who are having a baby,certain unexpected things happen that sets a turn of events that will simply creep you out.Jordan Ladd’s character goes through a slow and dark deteriorating change throughout the movie and makes you feel sorry for her character Madelaine.Madelaine deals with a personal loss,controlling people in her life and her fight to keep baby Grace with her and also keeping her alive!There are a few disturbing scenes in this movie that might get to some people but suck it up you wussy’s,you knew this wasn’t a Disney flick.As Grace finally came to it’s close i found myself actually wanting more!

Paul Solet has solidified himself as one of the new breed of writer/director’s,he is on the map and i can’t wait to see what he does next!I interviewed one of Grace’s producers Adam Green(Hatchet,Spiral) about this project several months ago and he told me how cool it was going to be and it sure didn’t disappoint!Even the freakin poster is cool and extra features you don’t want to miss!And speaking of the extras i have a special new found respect for Paul Solet on the way he got this film out,basically he hit the street and put his heart,soul,word of mouth and sweat in it!Great job Paul!

New One Sheet For TRANSYLMANIA.

This Transylmania one sheet resembles the old school Buffy The Vampire Slayer poster,don’t you think? Hitting theaters on December 4th from Full Circle Releasing we will see what this campy slayer comedy is all about.

Synopsis: Directed by David Hillenbrand and Scott Hillenbrand, the film follows a motley group of college students who embark on a semester at Razvan University. Located deep in the heart of the “cursed land” of Transylvania in a centuries-old castle, Razvan isn’t your typical institution of higher learning – and the black leather-clad professors, three-foot-tall dean, instruction in crucifix-wielding, and topless vampiresses lurking in dark corners are just the start. It seems Castle Razvan was overtaken by a band of vampires led by the feared Vampire King Radu in the dark ages who’s come back to reclaim it.

Patrick Cavanaugh, James DeBello, Tony Denman, Paul Kim, Jennifer Lyons, Oren Skoog and David Steinburg star.

Finally More Jeepers Creepers 3 News!

Who wants more Jeepers Creepers news? “I do,I do!” Well, here’s the best we’ve had in a while and not a moment too soon if you ask me!

Our friends over at Dread Central caught up with Salva to give them an update on the project and some details about the story, “The financing is just coming together, so perhaps we will be in preproduction shortly,” Salva tells Dread. “We have been saying this for a year now, but that’s really about all I can with any certainty.”

“Breck will of course don his wings once again as our favorite flying man-eater, though we have decided, after much fan feedback, to give him his truck back for the new film. Gina Phillips will be back in Jeepers Threepers (as we like to call it) playing Trisha Jenner, 23 years later, a successful business woman who has her own teenage son, Darry, named after her long lost brother.”

“We have decided that the third film should, like one and two, be different from each other in look and locale,“Salva contines. “After all, the highway in question “runs the length of the state. So you may be missing your Spanish moss again and much of the story takes place in the desert part of our fictitious Jeepers state that includes Poho, Pertwilla, and Kissell County.”

The working title right now is Jeepers Creepers: Cathedral. This one will probably be a straight to DVD movie, but who knows, MGM has been behind this franchise and believed in it so we’ll see. I personally want a theatrical release!
