Last week we told you that the horror comic Locke & Key was being adapted for television, and now it seems that FOX has committed to airing at least a few episodes, so get your Tivo’s ready. If you haven’t read the comic yet, it’s still in the early stages but it’s undeniably good. It centers around a New England mansion called Keystone that houses magical doors that have the ability to transform those that pass through their archways. Without giving too much away, an evil creature also resides in the house, hellbent on opening one door in Keystone…a door that promises to unleash a bevy of dark forces. Eek!

Back in June, we brought you word that Telltale Games was partnering with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to bring us a new adventure of The Doc & Marty…five to be exact via a episodic new video game based on the popular time traveling trilogy. Wanting to be faithful to the fans, the game developer worked with a few familiar faces from the franchise including Steven Spielberg who served as a producer, original screenwriter Bob Gale who worked on the story for the game, and Mr. Emmet Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd, who took his own little trip back in time to reprise his famous role.

USA Today recently debuted some concept art from the game, which you can check out after the break. (more…)

MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE 4 news comes out daily it seems, and for some reason I like to write about it.  Today we bring news that Paula Patton (JUST WRIGHT, PRECIOUS) has officially joined the cast along with Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner. Although she doesn’t have a lot of acting credits to her name she did beat out Lauren German and Kristin Kreuk.  Who knows if thats saying much, but I am glad to hear more casting because that means its getting closer to filming.

Check out the full story, after the jump.

Patrons of the many casinos and shows in Las Vegas may mistake this banner spotted there for a new magician named Peter Vincent, whose new show Fright Night promises to provide him shirtless and in leather pants, which clearly give him the ability to harness energy. Well, they wouldn’t be totally wrong. Vincent is actually actor David Tennant (Doctor Who) WHO stars as a veteran vampire hunter in the remake of the 1985 cult horror-comedy hit.

The remake boats quite the impressive cast with the likes of Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Anton Yelchin, Toni Collette, Dave Franco, and Imogen Poots. It comes from LARS AND THE REAL GIRL director Craig Gillespie.

Check out the first look at Tennant’s character after the break. (more…)

Raise your hand if you saw Adam Green’s dramatic survival film FROZEN last year…that is, if it’s not stuck to a ski lift. Emma Bell gave a standout performance in that film: she was undeniably sweet, panicked, and terrified during the harrowing ordeal. Our guess is she won’t be eaten by wolves or trapped in the cold fifty feet above the ground, but it’s a good bet that the writers of FINAL DESTINATION 5 have something even more sinister planned for Bell.

What would you do if you were buried alive, 6 feet underground in a wooden box with only a half-charged cell phone, a source of light, and your own will power to live? If you were MacGyver you’d somehow fashion those items together into an escape device, while also producing a small explosion…somehow. If you were an old man with a vulture-like eye, you’d make your heart beat so loud until the narrator couldn’t take it anymore and dug you up. If you were Sandra Bullock, you’d just die leaving Kiefer Sutherland to find you after his struggle with Jeff Bridges. But if you were Paul Conroy, you’d act accordingly.

You’ll see what I mean next month, when BURIED hits theaters on October 8. Or if your in the UK, on September 29 as the following international trailer informs. Check it out after the break. And beware, if you are wanting to go into the film totally dark to its events, I’d steer clear of this one as it gives a little more away than the U.S. trailers. (more…)

Apparently,  no amount of love for films like Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN or CHILDREN OF MEN may be able to save Alfonso Cuaron’s next film, GRAVITY.  At least not after today, if Deadline is to be believed.

The outlet is reporting that the very ambitious sci-fi flick, currently set up at Warner Brothers, has stalled, after being passed on, twice, by the film’s top name, Angelina Jolie.  The film features a main female role, the lead, that has been compared to roles  like Tom Hank’s turn in CAST AWAY, which in turn means that this feature would rely, almost solely, on the beautiful shoulders of Jolie.

Therefore, the studio is yearning to get a big name thespian in that lead role, and with the biggest actress in the world, Jolie, passing on the film, the project has been delayed, and will shoot next year, once Robert Downey Jr. (who will be featured in a small role in the film) shoots SHERLOCK HOLMES 2.

With MGM’s financial woes becoming one of the biggest ongoing stories in the world of film, one of the saddest outcomes of the studio’s problematic times has been the loss of the long gestating reboot of the ROBOCOP franchise, to be helmed by Darren Aronofsky.

After a myriad of rumors connecting his jumping off the project to the intervention from MGM, making the film a 3D project, Aronofsky has come out to give his side of the story, and it’s quite different.

Scar Jo and Jo Go in a film together? Now that’s a lot of young and attractive Hollywood talent to consume. And consume is what they may do, as the pair are rumored to be “loosely attached” to the big screen edition of Breathers: A Zombie Lament, the Diablo Cody-produced, Geoff Latulippe (GOING THE DISTANCE) scripted adaptation of the S.G. Browne novel by the same name. Breathers centers around a man (presumably the role that could be filled by Gordon-Levitt) who dies only to find himself a reanimated corpse AKA zombie and the struggles that come along with being an undead rejected member of the society he once was a part of. Should the casting go as rumored, Johansson would play his love interest – a sexy suicide victim that he meets at a Undead Anonymous meeting. From there, the plot only gets more delectable.

Check out the official synopsis for the novel via Browne’s website after the break! (more…)

One of the more underrated and under seen films of the past few years or so has been the wonderful, and haunting, French thriller, 13 TZAMETI.

The film has a plot best described as following a young man, who after taking over a dead man’s identity, is thrust into a world of an underground Russian-roulette club, where one must truly put his life on the line with luck being your only friend.

Well, thanks to writer/director Gela Babluani, who helmed this fantastic film, we will be getting an English language remake of the film, starring Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, 50 Cent, Ray Winstone and the always amazing Sam Riley.

As disappointing that it is that Joss Whedon won’t be involved in Marvel’s film adaptation of THE RUNWAYS, considering his run on the comic might be the best it’s ever been. Regardless, it is still very exciting to see that the film is coming to fruition, as it is not one of Marvel’s tent pole books. Things must be running smoothly behind the curtains, cause we now have a start date for filming. (more…)

Lost in the insanity inducing collection of reviews of Darren Aronofsky’s new film, BLACK SWAN, it looks like we have a pair of rather interesting pieces of casting news.

After joining action films like FAST FIVE and FASTER, one could only think that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was ready to leave the world of family friendly kid features, which with the likes of THE TOOTH FAIRY and PLANET 51, became his home.

Well, apparently that’s not completely true.

According to THR, the actor is currently in talks to lead the upcoming film, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH 2, replacing Brendan Fraser.  Apparently, Fraser had to drop due to “scheduling conflicts,” but with the first film’s director, Eric Brevig, being forced out by New Line, who wants this film out by 2011, it looks like Fraser decided not to return.  In Brevig’s place will be CATS AND DOGS: REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE helmer Brad Payton, so that should pretty much tell you what to expect.

Man, I love a good cat fight. Or in this case, a fight between a big, blue, cat-man, and a pissed off pirhanha.

For those of you who haven’t already heard, earlier in the week comments from James Cameron, directed toward cast, crew, and project PIRANHA 3D, found their way to the bologsphere. When talking with Vanity Fair about the project, the magazine asked if the project held “any nostalgia” for him? In no uncertain terms, Cameron replied, ‘none’. Read his full comments below…

Well, the Venice Film Festival is now officially underway, and along with the start of this year’s festival, that means that its opening film, Darren Aronofsky’s BLACK SWAN, has premiered, and boy has it hit hard.

Drawing comparisons to great films like the classic trio of Roman Polanski thrillers, THE TENANT, REPULSION (which may be the closest thing we have to it) and ROSEMARY’S BABY, and the greatest ballet film ever made, THE RED SHOES, we have our first reviews of the film, and while they aren’t all over the moon, the buzz is definitely at a fever pitch.

Check out the first slew of reviews, after the break.
