Horror Headlines: Wednesday January 28th, 2009

Alexandre Aja's "Pirahna 3D" has been moved to a 2010 release, after being bumped from its original 2009 slot last week. The move is being done because principal photography isn't going to happen until this Spring, and they want to make sure they have enough time to get the 3D effects just right. So it looks like this won't be the official "Year of 3D Horror" after all, which is good or bad depending on how you feel about it, I guess.

Speaking of 3D... the rumor on the scene is that a future installment of the "Saw" series, possibly the next one, will be shot in 3D. Although my first reaction is to groan, it honestly seems like the logical next step for the series considering the direction it's headed. This might actually keep things interesting for future installments.

I don't even know what to say about this book, titled "Pride and Prejiduce and Zombies". The title is genius enough. The Amazon description takes it a step further by saying that the story "features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action."

I can't lie, I get some cool, free schwag as the owner of a horror site. I have never gotten anything as cool as this package from New Line Cinema in honor of the new "Friday the 13th" though. What's a man got to do to get some Crystal Lake Love?
