Exclusive: Scream of the Banshee Casting News

6 November 2009 2:37 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Around a week or so ago we reported that Automaton Transfusion director Steven C. Miller was readying a new project for After Dark Films called Scream of the Banshee. Today we learned exclusively about some pretty neat casting news.

A source close to the production who would like to remain anonymous (we always love how dramatic saying stuff like that sounds) has reported to us that both Lance Henriksen and Lauren Holly will have roles in the movie. We don't know whom the duo will be playing or how big their roles will be at this time, but there it is.

Look for more on Scream of the Banshee soon.

‘The Fourth Kind’ Abduction Featurette and Genre Picks

2 November 2009 10:15 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

If you have been eagerly anticipating Friday’s release of The Fourth Kind, here is a creepy little featurette from Universal and Yahoo Movies to prime you for the movie — which you can watch after the jump. It’s no spoiler to note that the plot of the movie has to do with missing people in Alaska, and possible alien abduction. This featurette provides a back-story, so to speak, about the four different kinds of alien encounters.

Still can’t sate your appetite for alien abduction? If so, take a look at these other genre titles while you are biding your time. And, look for our review of The Fourth Kind on Friday.

• Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) – Arguably the best known in the genre. This movie terrified me when I saw it as a child. Steven Speilberg’s follow up to Jaws racked up several oscar nominations and won for best cinematography. »

Win Val Kilmer & Cuba Gooding Jr. In ‘Hardwired’

26 October 2009 8:19 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Yes, Val Kilmer and Cuba Gooding Jr. are together in a movie. The direct-to-dvd Sci-Fi movie Hardwired. If you’re looking for what one can only hope is at least some cheesy fun, we have three copies to give away here on Screen Rant.

Here’s a synopsis of the film:

 

Luke Gibson (Gooding Jr.) is all but written off for dead after a car accident that claimed the life of his wife and unborn child, and left him with complete amnesia. Looking for test subjects for their new technological “breakthrough,” the Hexx Corporation offers cutting edge technology that saves Luke’s life, a Psi-Com Implant which is hardwired into Luke’s brain. Luke soon finds that the life saving technology comes with a price and that Hexx Corporation may harbor more sinister plans for the new device. Luke, with the help of his new allies, tries to recover memories »

Broken Lizard’s The Slammin’ Salmon Will Finally Hit Theaters This December

25 October 2009 9:11 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Anchor Bay Films is going to get a pass from me for a while because they picked up Broken Lizard’s newest film, “The Slammin’ Salmon” and will distribute it to theaters this December.  Every time I saw an update from Bl on Facebook, I would wonder when I would finally get to see the movie which premiered at Slamdance this past January.  Now I get to see it before the end of the year and I’m beyond excited.  Hit the jump for details.

Some people don’t enjoy the comedy of Broken Lizard but I try not to associate with these people.  While I still think their breakout film “Super Troopers” is their best, I also have “Club Dread” and “Beerfest” sitting on my shelf.  But “Super Troopers” is one of those rare comedies that only gets better with every viewing.  While it’s unfair for me to »

Hang on a minute... Sam Worthington is being linked to Mad Max 4 now? Steady on, ABC News. At least they're sticking to the Charlize Theron part of the story. But what's that about the project taking two and a half years? Blimey. 30 weeks of that will be at Broken Hill, the location for Mad Max 2, so far the series' zenith. Another 15 little newslets that haven't made it to the front page for some mysterious reason or another coming right up after this break. Lance Henriksen has been talking with "some independent producers that really want to put the money up" for a feature film of Chris Carter's Millennium. Henriksen's up for it, he tells Aint it Cool, but is telling the producers to not move ahead without Carter. Courtesy of Twitch, here's the trailer for Boogie El Aceitoso, a rather aggressive toon from Argentina that has hit their »

31 Days of Horror: Near Dark

20 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Near Dark (1987) Synopsis: A cowboy (Adrian Pasdar) meets a pretty, young gal at the local saloon and discovers too late that her kiss includes a double-pronged love bite of vampiric proportions. Mae (Jenny Wright) and her blood-sucking vampire family (half the cast of Aliens) take Caleb for a ride in their Winnebago and try to make him one of them. But as any good cowboy would, Caleb fights his transformation and sets about rescuing the pale-skinned love of his life. The family isn't too keen on that idea of course and soon the small Texas town is awash in blood, burning flesh, and bar fights. Killer Scene: Speaking of bar fights... Caleb's introduction to the family's unique hobby occurs in a sleazy bar almost halfway into the movie. After insulting the bartender and patrons ("shit-kicker heaven"), the blood-letting begins with a waitress getting her throat slit. More deaths follow including a broken neck, shotgun »

A Conversation with Danielle Harris

17 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Danielle Harris, star of four films in the Halloween franchise, as well as pictures like The Last Boyscout, City Slickers, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, and the television series Roseanne was kind enough to sit down with me at the 2009 Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, Florida to talk about her career. The interview was filmed live, but due to surrounding noise I have transcribed the conversation below.

Ja/Fangoria: First of all, can I say how nervous I am that we are making a film with John Landis sitting right over there?

Danielle Harris: (laughs)

Ja: We're here at the Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, Florida, and how has it been going for you so far?

Dh: It's been good! It's been really busy.

Ja: Have you met any creeps so far?

Dh: Not really at this show, only a handful. (laughs)

Ja: You actually lived here in Florida, »

“Millenium” may get the big screen treatment, X-Files 3 as well?

15 October 2009 8:12 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

At long last, the cult series Millenium may be paying a visit to the big screen.  The show was one of the darkest series in both subject matter and texture to ever grace television screens.  It was very stylized, with a neo-gothic colour palette.  Key to the series was Lance Henriksen, who starred as Frank Black, "a profiler who has remarkable insight into the minds of killers and other demented souls." Lance was best known as the android Bishop in the Alien trilogy. Millenium ran for three seasons, from 1996-1999, as a darker project from X-Files creator Chris Carter.  "While it wasn’t a huge hit, it did acquire many loyal fans during its run and a campaign has been ongoing to try and get some closure on the series." It looks like there may be hope for this project yet.  "Lance Henriksen was approached by private investors who wish »
