Uwe Boll to quit making films (kinda)

Further re-enforcing my belief that good wins over evil, Uwe Boll announced in an interview with FEARnet that if the online petition for him to stop making movies would only sway him if it reached one millions signatories.

FEARnet: Are you aware that there is a petition online, signed by 18,000 people, requesting that you stop making movies?

Uwe: Yeah, I know that. 18,000 is not enough to convince me.

FEARnet: How many would it take?

Uwe: One million. Now we have a new goal.

The petition currently has 50,000 signatures. And Bloodrayne 3 is in pre-production. Do your children a favor. Make the forces of good win. Sign here.

All kidding aside, if I was him, I would be pretty pissed if everyone kept telling me how shitty I was. I might organize an event to kick the crap out of them.

Oh, wait. We already did that. Damn it!

Michael Bay wants to have Rosemary's Baby

in

Continuing the trend of Michael Bay's remakes comes news that he has secured the rights to a remake from Paramount.  The film will be co-produced by Adam Fields ("Donnie Darko"), who brought the project to Platinum Dunes.

 The orginal movie follows a young couple as the husband cuts a deal with the devil for a successful career. The payment? His wife will carry the Devil's child.

No writer has been announced, and there is no word how faithful the adaptation will be.  Can we call this another adaptation of Ira Levin's book, and not a remake?

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes to be remade!

The classic b-moive, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" is making its way back to the screen. 

Normally I would be less than excited about the prospect of another remake, but there is something different about this time. Namely Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine, the creative team behind the smash hit web series Ask a Ninja. I have met Kent several times, and know that he is going to bring something fresh to the movie while staying true to the source.  Another positive is this is not a movie that has been sequeled to death.

The team behind "Day of the Dead" and "Terror Train," led by M. Dal Walton III aquired the rights and will be producing with Emmett/Furla Films.

What do you think of the Nightmare of Elm Street remake?

Awesome. It needs an update.

Stake Crossed Lovers in "Hotel Transylvania"

in

Fresh off Sony's "Open Season," Jill Culton has been tapped to helm Sony's "Hotel Transylvania." This movie is a monstrous take on "Romeo and Juliet," following Simon Belmou...wait....Simon Van Helsing, the youngest of the monster hunting family, falling in love with none other than Dracula's daughter. Upon realizing who they are, the two try to bring peace between the two families.

Look, this isn't the Hatfields and the McCoys, Dracula and Van Helsing have about as much chance of getting along as Barack Obama and David Dukes. Cause let's face it. Van Helsing is a racist...or at least a species-ist. He hunts and kills vampires. I know if there was someone who hunted and killed only strapping, young lads like myself, I wouldn't invite him over for dinner.

Word is a theme song is already being worked on...to the tune of Hotel California....

Falling in love at the Hotel Transylvania. Loving Dracula's Kid. Hope I don't get bit....

"The Departed" Team Reunites for "The Chaser"

in

The Hollywood Reporter learned that William Monahan, Academy Award writer of "The Departed," is in talks with Warner Bros to adapt the Korean thriller "The Chaser." The project could also re-team Monahan with Leonardo DiCaprio, who is eying the lead role.

"The Chaser" centers around an ex-cop who goes on a mad hunt for a missing girl. Unsure if the girl is even alive, the hero ex-cop chases a serial killer who uses the girl to taunt the police.

The original film was a big hit in Korea, grossing over $20 million.

This would be the second time DiCaprio and Monahan collaborated on a remake of an Asian film.

New show has been recorded

Should be out Wednesday or Thursday.
