Lionsgate reveals "Transit", announces "Jacob's Ladder" remake
Thousand Words has nabbed "Transit," a spec thriller by Michael Gilvary about a family road trip gone horribly awry. Palmer West and Jonah Smith, who last produced the untitled Larry Charles' religion project with Bill Maher, will produce with Alison Rosenzweig. In "Transit," a family driving through the desert is stalked by criminals who stashed stolen money in the family's car. The script will go out to directors shortly. Besides the Charles/Maher project, currently in post-production, West and Smith produced Chris Gorak's "Right at Your Door," which Lionsgate is releasing Aug. 24. The duo also produced "A Scanner Darkly" and "Requiem for a Dream." Gilvary recently did a rewrite of Arthur C. Clarke's "Rendezvous With Rama" for Morgan Freeman's Revelations Entertainment. Whitewater Films will begin shooting his coming-of-ager "Greta" in the fall. Rosenzweig has several projects in the works, including "Darksiders" at New Line, "Sanctuary" at Sobini/Lionsgate and a remake of "Jacob's Ladder," the classic 1990 Tim Robbins' pic, which follows a traumatized Vietnam war veteran who finds out that his post-war life isn't what he believes it to be when he's attacked by horned creatures in the subway and his dead son comes to visit him. Tell me, isnt it a wee bit too early to remake Jacob's Ladder?:rolleyes: Universal's Halloween Horror Nights with Freddy, Jason and Leatherface Today Universal revealed that three of your favorite horror icons will be crashing the party this year - Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Leatherface will all be attending your demise at this year's Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, which will take place at both Universal Studios in Florida and Hollywood.

New German indie will create a lot of positive buzz, says director
Peter Koller, the writer-director of the German/Austrian horror film On Evil Grounds, thinks the movie will do really well when it plays at this year's FanTasia Film Festival. Koller gave more details on the story, which involves a quick twist, “The plot is about a couple who wants to buy a loft in a desolated factory only to find out that the owner and his real estate broker are demented serial killers, but it soon turns out that the couple is way more deranged than the two killers.” Being that nearly everything has been done before, Koller explains that this is nothing new, but he did try to play with the rules a bit, “It doesn’t sound really new, right? If you take something like this serious you’d just have another bad-guy-with-an-ax-chasing-the-chick-around-a-rotten-house-movie,” he tells us, “I wanted to play with the rules of the horror/slasher genre and not have the victims act like the ones you are used to from a normal slasher movie.” In the film everyone is a bad guy, and it’s not to be taken too seriously, “In this one they [Romeo and Juliet] are just as bad as the bad guys. Basically everyone in the movie is an amoral asshole or just plain stupid… nobody behaves according to the expectations the audience have from watching countless slasher movies. Let’s say it is satire that you can enjoy with popcorn, pizza and a six-pack of beer.” Koller also explained that the film is sadistic, yet not to be taken seriously. He goes as far as to say people were laughing at a rape scene, “The violence comes more in a form of a sadistic joker. These people have fun hurting each other or play sadistic games to each other. If the story would have been handled in a serious way it would make a really mean movie, but I made it all so over-the-top to make the audience laugh in moments where they are not sure whether they are even allowed to laugh - because your moral code would forbid you to do so.” He continues, “If the movie works, people will even be laughing at rape. At the premiere in Austria even women found that certain scene extremely funny. [They were] a bit hesitant and shy at the first moment, but when the ice was broken the whole audience was cheering at a rape scene!" Koller also reveals that the film has one juicy kill and that the film is “just as bloody as PULP FICTION. Otherwise it is mostly meaningless violence without justification. In other words: pure fun.” So if it’s violent and fun, what exactly could it be compared to? Koller’s answer got me extremely excited, “It’s TOM & JERRY for adults. People are mean to each other, hurt each other and hunt the hell out of each other. There is no suspense as you would expect it in a horror film and it is not as serious as a thriller. What’s funny about it is that some of the shooting crew thought it [was going] to be a really tough slasher-thriller only to find out during the shoot that I was going in a direction that was more like ‘a horror movie directed by Monty Python and Tex Avery’ ” Bring on the cartoon violence! Check out the film at the FanTasia Film Festival in Montreal this July. 20th Anniversary Edition DVD of "Monster Squad" on July 24th Lionsgate will be everyones best friend next month when they release the long awaited The Monster Squad on DVD in a special 2-disc 20th anniversary edition. The DVD will be featured in collectible packaging and is loaded with extra features, including a five-part retrospective, classic interviews, deleted scenes, commentaries and more.  The 1980s cult-classic streets on July 24th. For those who dont know the plotline :- Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy and the Gillman – adjourn to earth in search of a powerful amulet that will grant them power to rule the world. However, a bunch of kids regarded by their peers as losers and outsiders uncover the devious plan and prepare for a counter strike. Now, our heroes - the Monster Squad - are the only ones daring to stand in their way... You can pre-order your copies here.

Zombie gives "Halloween" a new ultra-gory ending?
Rob Zombie has been hard at work filming new material for his remake of Halloween, which is slated for release on August 31. Today he ended seven straight days of grueling filming around the Los Angeles area, which included the addition of six, count 'em, six new death sequences! The film has been given a serious boost in violence, gore and bloodshed... but that's not the big news - we received word that an entire new finale has been shot. Details are mum on what is different, but we're told the new ending is quite gruesome!! Watch for the return of Michael Myers in classic fashion in only two months.
