Horror Headlines: Tuesday April 27th, 2010

The 3-D craze has donned its leather jacket and pointed its motorcycle towards the ramp as Paramount Pictures has announced plans to make a new "Ring" movie, this time in 3-D. David Loucka has already been tapped to pen the script in what Paramount hopes is a reinvention of the franchise.

"Scream" scribe Kevin Williamson put to rest the rumors that Jamie Kennedy will be returning for "Scream IV". "We're not that universe where you can bring people back from the dead. That would be just a cheat." Good to see that there's still some integrity in Hollywood!

While not really news in and of its self, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this sweet "Nightmare on Elm Street" popcorn bucket when you head out to catch the remake this weekend!

In a recent press junket for his latest feature "Robin Hood", director Ridley Scott let slip that the both of the upcoming "Alien" prequels will be released in 3D. If you're paying attention, you'll notice that I used the word 'both'. Scott also let it be known that he is planning on two prequels for the franchise.

"Machete" is no longer the only feature to spawn from the fake trailers shown in 2007's "Grindhouse". The next trailer to be stretched to full length will be "Hobo With a Shotgun" starring none other that Rutger Hauer.

In Real People News: 

Christina Cifaldi has a beef against Wal Mart's clothing lines as she has been arrested for $163 worth of clothes, taking them into the fitting room and urinating all over them. It was pretty easy for officials to deduce who the culprit was as Cifaldi had left her wallet and drivers license in the fitting room next to her stinky leavings.

A Brazilian woman decided to go for a drive after one too many drinks, and ended up causing the death of another woman and her unborn child. When the drunken 24 year old tried to leave the scene of the accident, a group of onlookers drug her from her car and shot her five times for her crime.

On this day in history: 

4977 BC - God creates the universe, according to calculations by mystic and part-time astronomer Johannes Kepler.

"Hobo With a Shotgun", seriously? Where the fuck is "Thanksgiving"?!

First...I MUST HAVE THAT BUCKET! haha! I can't wait for the movie - and now the bucket too!

And I have to agree with Mark - Thanksgiving would have been AWESOME! or DON'T would have been pretty cool too - has that old 70s vibe to it...

and lastly - those Happy Town and American Players Theater ads are so annoying - even if you click X they keep popping up, LOL

I dig the popcorn bucket. That's a huge thing in Asia that I wish cinemas would start doing here to bring people in instead of the stupid 3D bullshit. Whatever the big release of the moment is, you can get a customized popcorn bucket and a soda where the lid doubles as a little bust or toy. My favorite was when xXx 2 came out and I got a drink with a angry-looking, machine gun-toting Ice Cube on top. I kept it so I could pretend it was an extremely rare NWA action figure.

went to a midnight showing last night at an AMC theater... no bucket :(

The place was pack though, about 85-90%

...and it looks like Platinum Dunes has done it to us again...

I REALLY wanted that bucket and wanted to be blown away by this film...eh. Didn't hate it but didn't love it either.
