Joel Silver, Studio Canal Want To ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK Three More Times.

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 09:59 PM PDT

Joel Silver's Silver Pictures is teaming up with Studio Canal to retell the story of Snake Plisken. There have been a few attempts to revitalize the Escape From... franchise over the years but the abysmal Escape From L.A. quashed any likely sequels and attempts in 2007 and 2010 at a reboot never materialized into anything and the rights lapsed a couple years ago. So Silver and Canal have picked up the rights and according to the report over at Deadline they are planning a trilogy. It will begin with, crazy as it may sound, an origin story. Where they will begin the story of Snake remains to be seen. Will they go back as far as his exploits in WWIII while in the Special Forces Unit Black Light?...

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 08:40 PM PDT

It is just one of those days when you come across something so bat-shit insane that you just have to share it with the masses. About a year back filmmakers Ilya Naishuller and Sergey Valyaev made a music video for the song The Stampede by the band Biting Elbows.

IMAGINE 2013 Reveals Its Dizzying Line-up

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 09:00 AM PDT

What started decades ago as The Night Of Terror, quickly became The Weekend Of Terror because soon it wasn't a single night anymore. After a few years it had to be renamed into the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival, because it incorporated more than horror and this inclusion of other genres made the festival last more than a week. And since more "normal" thrillers could also be found in its catalog, the festival is currently simply named Imagine. And rightly so, as this year's selection includes a healthy dose of everything: anime, horror, fantasy, science fiction, documentaries, crime, ...you name it! The full roster can be seen at the festival website, and highlights include: The Wolf Children, Frankenstein's Army, Eega, Gangs of Wasseypur, The Grandmaster, Antiviral,...
