Suspiria Remake in the Works

Giving you the things you never asked for, Crime Scene Pictures is moving forward with their Suspiria remake with David Gordon Green in the director's chair. Now you are probably thinking one of these things:

a.) No.
b.) No. Thank you
c.) Wait. That stoner movie director?

While remakes are in general unwanted, I have to tell you why I'm not worried and maybe a little excited about the Suspiria remake. Before David Gordon Green was the king of stoner comedies, he made a few films that take place in his home state of North Carolina that are naturalistic and beautiful. The complete opposite of Pineapple Express. He also comes from the "no budget" film philosophy. See clips from George Washington and All the Pretty Girls below. It makes me wonder if Suspiria is going to be more of a passion piece, because it will have more potential for artistic grace than something like the next Jonah Hill movie.

My last note is that I hope he finds someone cool to do the soundtrack. Goblin's soundtrack to Suspiria is so iconic in my mind, it's hard not to think about one without the other. Be good to us David Gordon Green.

Do ya'll think it will be good? Tell me all about it.

Trailer: A Fantastic Fear of Everything

Simon Pegg is back to the nitty gritty as he stars in the new film A Fantastic Fear of Everything. Pegg stars as Jack, a children's author who turns to writing crime fiction. His new research into Victorian murderers is making him a little too paranoid.

Written by Crispian Mills, singer and guitarist for the band Kula Shaker, A Fantastic Fear of Everything will be released in a limited release on June 8th and it looks like a fantastic amount of fun.

Woman in Black is getting a sequel

Riding on the success of Woman in Black, the highest grossing British horror film in the past 20 years with a nice round $120 million, the Hammer studios have decided to make a second one. Take that straight to the bank, Susan Hill! 

Susan Hill the author of the original novel and source material for Woman in Black has confirmed that she will help pen the sequel entitled Woman in Black: Angels of Death. The sequel is planned to be set 40 years later in the same house where Radcliffe took up residence in the first film.

Jon Crocker, the story editor of films such as Attack the Block, The Iron Lady, and the first installment of The Woman in Black will be writing the screenplay.

Jennifer Lawrence stars in House at the End of the Street

From the screenplay writer who brought you Dream House comes House at the End of the Street. Not to be confused with Last House on Dead End Street, House on the Edge of the Park, Last House on the Left, the future release The House that Wept Blood, The House That is Following You, or  My Sister's Brother's Best Friend's House, but it's in the same neighborhood.

Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Shue star as a mother and daughter who rent a home next to a home where a girl murdered her parents. The mystery unfolds backwards (Memento style if you will) as Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence) befriends the surviving brother from the house next door. The film will be released in September and you can bet you're bottom dollar it's rated PG-13 to accomodate the Hunger Games fan base. View the trailer below:

Cronenberg's Cosmopolis Teaser Trailer

Cronenberg returns to a Crash aesthetic in the teaser trailer for Cosmopolis. Adapted from Don Dellilo's 13th novel and starring Robert Pattinson, Cronenberg is quoted as saying that it's a "project I'm very fond of." He's done one right thing in casting Pattinson, because no one gives me the creeps more than him.

While some will question Pattinson's acting abilities, I have faith in Cronenberg as a director, because of his success with Keira Knightley in A Dangerous Method. I'm probably biased though, because I'll watch anything Cronenberg has even sneezed on. Trailer below:

Prometheus Full Trailer, Has "Space Jockey" in it. Also Peter Weyland trailer.

So, the "full" trailer for Ridley Scott's upcoming movie Prometheus looks pretty amazing. We get a few shots here and there of some of the alien beings in the movie as well. It's pretty apparent that the Space Jockey from Alien 1 is in there along with the ship that is crashed landed on the planet of the first movie.

In the second trailer, Guy Pearce plays Peter Weyland, which any Alien fan knows is part of the Weyland-Yutani company that puts bringing the Xenomorphs to Earth a higher priority and all the crew of the Alien films as expendable. Also, this website has me super hyped: https://www.weylandindustries.com/

Whether or not it is the "same" ship and race of alien caring the Xenomorph eggs on there is to be determined, but seeing as the Aliens franchise is one of my favorites of all time, I can only hope.

I'm calling it; Michael Fassbender will be playing the evil android role, Noomie Rapace is the Ridley role, and Charlize Theron will bite the dust in this movie. Mark my words.

I might also add, that siren sound effect in the trailer may very well become the new horn sound from the Inception trailer, and that it's also very creepy, but also the similar siren sound of the Nostromo in the first Alien film as well. The trailer seems pretty suspenseful already, so color me pink with excitement on this movie. Prometheus release June 8, 2012.
