"The Gate 3D" remake is being directed by Alex Winters, AKA "the other guy" from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". He's also, as we discussed on the podcast recently, the director of the pretty sweet cult flick "Freaked". I defy you to find a wackier story this week... or maybe ever.
Samuel Bayer, music video director known for such videos as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, has been picked to direct Platinum Dunes remake of "Nightmare on Elm St." I'm honestly not sure what to think about this, but I'm sure more news will come out soon enough.
John Malkovich will play the villain in the "Jonah Hex" adaptation. There's some awesome news to wash down all the remake stuff I just told you.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stuck an air rifle up someone's ass and pulled the trigger? Well wonder no more, it would cause their intestines to explode. Oh, and you'll also be charged with murder.
