The Next FRIDAY THE 13TH Will Be 3D!

Yes! Finally we will have a modern 3D FRIDAY THE 13TH and I can't wait to see big ol' Jason in three dimensions! The thing is, it really is no holds barred with horror in 3D. You can do anything you want and get away with it so I'm expecting some jarring moments of things flying out to hit the audience, but also scenes drawing us into the screen as well. Not headaches mind you - just awesome creative stuff. Hopefully it's all done in native 3D too - I'll update you on that when I can.

Apparently David Bruckner (VHS, THE SIGNAL) has been tapped to direct the movie - awaiting confirmation.

Of course there was a 3D release in the franchise back in the early '80's shot in the same format as JAWS 3D (Arrivision over/under - thanks for heads up Mike). Looking forward to seeing it made with modern tech!

FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D will slice into theaters November 13, 2015 - which, of course, is a Friday :-)

LOOK: New Poster For NURSE 3D - Release Set February 2014!

Lionsgate has finally given a release date for it's horror movie NURSE 3D and the studio decided to inject us with a new poster featuring Paz de la Huerta. Clearly it's an exploitation project and I'm very curious how it's all going to wind up looking on the big screen.

The first poster was a little too graphic for MarketSaw - but you can view it here.

I know the stereographer of the movie, Brent Robinson and we met recently in Toronto and discussed NURSE 3D and his upcoming projects. I think I'll try to line up an interview with him if he can squeeze me into his busy schedule so we can discuss the movie. If you have any questions, let me know!

Here's the storyline for the movie:
Nurse 3D is a thriller/horror film directed by Doug Aarniokoski and written by David Loughery starring Paz de la Huerta, Katrina Bowden, Corbin Bleu. By day Abby Russell is a dedicated nurse, someone you wouldn’t hesitate to trust your life with. But by night, her real work begins…using her smoldering sexuality she lures cheating men to their brutal deaths and exposes them for who they really are. When a younger nurse starts to suspect Abby’s actions and compromises her master plan, Abby must find a way to outsmart her long enough to bring the cheater you’d least expect to justice.

NURSE 3D opens on February 7, 2014.

Paramount Officially Announces That WORLD WAR Z Will Be In 3D!

The only thing better than running zombies are running zombies in 3D and that's exactly what Paramount is giving us with WORLD WAR Z starring Brad Pitt.

At the end of the recent Super Bowl teaser TV spot it's clearly revealed that WWZ will be in 3D. Since we haven't heard a thing about a native 3D production shoot, then it must be a conversion and these days the studios are doing great things with conversions, so confidence is high in that WWZ3D will deliver the goods.

I am hoping for a great time at the movies with this production. WORLD WAR Z 3D opens on June 21. Here's the TV spot I was speaking of:

New Image And First Clip From TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D

You've been waiting and here it is: The first clip from John Luessenhop's TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D. I can't wait to see this thing in theaters - shot in NATIVE 3D with 3ality Technica rigs too.

We've also got a new image from the movie too, featuring good ol' Leatherface looking over his menagerie of mayhem methods (you see what I did there? Alliteration!).

The movie stars Dan Yeager, Bill Moseley, Alexandra Daddario, Scott Eastwood, John Dugan, Sue Rock, Tania Raymonde, Gunnar Hansen, Tobe Hooper, Paul Rae, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Ritchie Montgomery, Shaun Sipos, Trey Songz, Marilyn Burns, Thom Barry and Richard Riehle.

Here's the movie's storyline:
Lionsgate’s TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought. 

Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. 

But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars.

Movie Review: SILENT HILL: REVELATION - 7 Stars

Click to enlarge

I just saw SILENT HILL: REVELATION last night and I have mixed thoughts about it. If you are a fan of horror, the video game and heck, movies with a good story and characters than you probably won't be jumping for joy at the end of it.

However, I will say that the 3D looked amazing. The cinematography, 3ality Technica (3D camera rigs & expertise) and the visual effects saved whats left of the movie and actually salvaged a 7 out of 10 score from me. Without them we're probably looking at a 4 or 5 star movie.

Why? Where to begin. How about at the top - directing. Michael J. Bassett (SOLOMON KANE) just didn't get the job done here. What irked me most was when you have an actor of the caliber of Sean Bean and you have scenes where he does look all that good at all, you're in trouble. Bassett couldn't have had enough takes for these scenes or just couldn't edit it effectively.

Phobia Films Appoints Karl van Allen To Script Consultant & Writer As Well As Script Supervisor On DREADLOCK

A quick note introducing Karl van Allen to the Phobia Films team! We're excited about delivering top entertainment to the masses, including DREADLOCK.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Phobia Films Appoints Karl van Allen To Script Consultant & Writer As Well As Script Supervisor On DREADLOCK.

DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia OCTOBER 4, 2012) - Phobia Films announced today that Karl van Allen will be assuming the in-house role of Script Consultant and Writer. Further, Mr. van Allen will also be assuming the role of Script Supervisor for Phobia Films latest movie production, DREADLOCK.

Mr. van Allen is an established and successful Writer and Editor (contributing writer with Todd Langseth for STINGY JACK).

Karl joins the team at Phobia Films owned by Jim Dorey. Mr. Dorey is also the Writer, Director and a Producer on DREADLOCK as well as Editor-in-Chief of the world's premier 3D movie news site MarketSaw.com. Phobia Films currently has six scripts in development with one in pre-production.

"I can't wait to roll up our sleeves and polish off the next development project," said Mr. van Allen. "And the fact that we have Nova Scotia as a backdrop for many of our stories is huge. Our locations will be just like another character in our story - if you've been to Nova Scotia, you know what I mean."

Continues van Allen: "Jim and I seem to always ignite ideas. We've got six so far in development. Being Script Supervisor on DREADLOCK will be an amazing experience too - you really are all in for a treat."

"I've read and experienced Karl's work firsthand and without hesitation I knew he was an excellent fit for Phobia Films," Mr. Dorey states. "It really is quite magical. When we sit down to brainstorm, lighting strikes fast - all we have to do is listen for the thunder and take notes on EVERYTHING. I tend to be more of an idea guy, but I'm writing quite a bit these days especially DREADLOCK. Karl specializes in characters and dialogue not to mention solid editing, but more importantly to me is that we are a culmultative creative force and not vilipend to the process whatsoever."

DREADLOCK is a character driven, horror / thriller solidly based in fact and science. Suspension of disbelief will be among our top priorities. When we decide to scare you, be prepared to apologize to the person beside you. We specialize in eliciting primal screams. DREADLOCK is slated to start shooting in the summer of 2013. The horror / thriller redefines the genre by fully utilizing a character driven story to ensure the audience truly cares and the movie truly scares. The movie will be distributed in both 2D and 3D. A decision on shooting native 3D or a post conversion will be made in the coming months.

Phobia Films was founded by Jim Dorey in 2012 as a Thriller / Horror / Action genre entertainment production company with a special love of stereoscopic 3D. Phobia Films is headquartered in the fast growing film production city of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Yes, I'm in deep with this thing! Thank you for all the support I've gotten already, from so many. Can't wait to start shooting, but in the meantime plenty of work to be done... Stay tuned with all Phobia Films updates right here!

Update On The Kickstarter For COCAINE SLEEPOVER: If You Want To Help Out - Now's The Bloody Time To Do It!

As you may know, I'm trying to help get an independent movie off the ground for a 3D horror-comedy COCAINE SLEEPOVER (this is not the project that I am working on with Phobia Films) and it seems Shane and Daniella have plateaued around 10-13% in the last few weeks. They are only seeking to hit $80k which isn't a lot really considering what they have to get done and the slice that Kickstarter and Amazon keep.

COCAINE SLEEPOVER is a grindhouse style horror with solid tongue in cheek. Looks hilarious! For more info about how to support the project, click here.

So if you would like more information on how to help make a cool 3D horror-comedy happen be sure to check out their Kickstarter project and pledge support for some very cool gifts. They only have 10 more days to go to collect another $69k or the project doesn't get funded at all. I'm pretty selective with any project that I help get the word out on, so you can count on a professional movie getting made if the micro-lend is successful.

The guys at COCAINE SLEEPOVER have decided to push the limits of practical, hands on marketing and take their campaign to Times Square and other New York hangouts - and you can follow them with this new video of their exploits. Love how they are putting everything they have into this - everything to get the movie done. They are far from giving up!


I truly hope they are successful because it looks like a blast of a movie to get made!

Check out the video:



Remember to support the project if you like what they are offering! You can see the original video for the movie right here.

Love 3D Movies? Want To get Involved? How About A 70's Inspired Horror Film! COCAINE SLEEPOVER Launches On Kickstarter...

Ever thought about getting involved with a 3D movie production but not quite sure about the best way of going about doing that? Kickstarter is an innovative approach to crowd source funding and it works particularly well with independent movies.

COCAINE SLEEPOVER is utilizing Kickstarter to raise funds for "A '70s-inspired horror film about a girly sleepover that meets a cocaine rage. Scream queens look out: it's Gore Whore Daniella Pineda!"

Its going to be a full length feature movie hot in native 3D that reimagines '70s grindhouse, with the campy absurdism of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. Think Bridesmaids meets Tarantino in 3D.

I'm liking the project and the talent that's attached so much, that I am working with the creators to help get this thing made. I think it looks amazing so far and so do the fine people at 21st Century 3D - they too are teaming up with director Shane Duckworth and actress Daniella Pineda to make it happen. 21st are providing a 3D beam splitter, 3D monitors, specialized matching cinema lenses for 3D, and most important, talent and over 20 years of experience in 3D production.

Personally I think the whole effort will be worth it. The end result is going to look fantastic and it sounds as though this independent satirical horror movie will kick it up a notch to a whole new level.

Shane Duckworth is both a director and cinematographer and has worked on major Hollywood films like TERMINATOR SALVATION, BROTHERS and OBSERVE AND REPORT. He co-directed the award winning movie WITHOUT A CROWD and shot the highly praised album trailer for Sleigh Bells' REIGN OF TERROR. He is now shooting for PROJECT RUNWAY and has just opened Brooklyn Movie Works with partner Jon Cooper.

Daniella Pineda is an up-and-coming writer-actress and is taking over the Internet. Jezebel says, "You Need to Be Watching This Woman's Videos!" She has been featured in everything from Ed Burns' NEWLYWEDS to tons of College Humor videos, including GIRLS WATCH PORN, TOO, as well as Amy Schumer's new show on Comedy Central, and she is currently shooting for MTV.

The cast members include: Evan Gregory, Jason Selvig, Ana Kayne and Lyle Friedman.

Here are the crew members:
Animation, Special Effects and Art: Masha Gvozdov
Camera OP and Stills Photographer: Jon Cooper
Production Coordinator: Christina Woolston
Set Design and Art: Erin Charest
Sound: Greg Swiatlowski
Music: Ahmad Jean-Loius and Clare Farris, Paul Rivers Bailey, and Elliott Klein
Grip/Electric/Set Rock Stars: Yair Tygiel, Paul Rivers Bailey, and Eric Klein

But to really get a feeling for the project, you have to check out the introduction for the Kickstarter project:

So what do you think? I definitely want you to consider this project as a way to get involved with a 3D movie and not only that, but a movie that I personally think will work. They are not asking for a lot of money here because so much is being donated to the greater cause, and the professionalism is going to be there for this horror comedy.

A perfect way to get involved in 3D. So check out the various rewards that are available for each donation level (you could even be a Producer on this thing!) and get excited! I know I am.

EXCLUSIVE: Twilight Star Sinks His Fangs Into HOUSE OF THE DAMNED 3D

Teen idol Booboo Stewart, known for his role as Seth Clearwater in Taylor Lautner's Wolf Pack in the Twilight Franchise is set to sink his fangs into HOUSE OF THE DAMNED 3D.

Here's the official storyline:
Five friends band together to save the historic part of their town and inadvertently become targets of a serial killer after uncovering the truth behind a series of grisly murders that went unsolved ... Until now!

Filming is set to begin late March in Baton Rouge and Clinton Louisiana.

Another reason to be excited about the production is that they are using 3ality Technica rigs to shoot the horror film in native 3D.

One of the producers, Ethan Terra said: "With House of the Damned 3D our goal is to cross utilize the 3D to submerge the audience so they feel like they are apart of the movie, and of course to pull off some really cool in depth 3D effects. Because this film is controlled by an independent studio we have more creative control over what we can and can not do, and this film is aimed right at the horror fan in all of us."

The Producers: Michael George, David Forbes, Ethan Terra, Nick Smith, and John Sweeney are currently locking cast and in talks with the Legendary Japanese Director Takashi Miike.

All the remaining details of the film are being held strictly confidential to the production, so much in fact that they have circulated various screenplays to the talent and agents so that nobody knows how the actual film ends or which character is the killer....

More to be announced soon. Stay tuned.

New Poster For PIRANHA 3DD

I liked the premise for first 3D feature PIRANHA 3D, but I am not sure where they are going with this iteration, a terrorist plot perhaps? How does twice as many piranha get into a water park this time around? Are these still those same prehistoric creatures from the first? Lots of questions...

Click on image to enlarge.

Here's the movie's storyline:
There’s something in the water . . . again. And this time no one is safe from the flesh eating fish as they sink their razor sharp teeth into the visitors of the best summer attraction, The Big Wet Water Park.

Here's the cast:
Danielle Panabaker (THE CRAZIES), Matt Bush (ADVENTURELAND), Chris Zylka (THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN), David Koechner (ANCHORMAN), Meagan Tandy (UNSTOPPABLE), Paul James Jordan, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Hector Jimenez, Adrian Martinez and Clu Gulager.

Dimension Films' PIRANHA 3DD is produced by Mark Canton, Marc Toberoff and Joel Soisson.

I am hoping for a better 3D conversion this time around. Last time it left some to be desired with blotchy chunks of space around tree branches and human hair and also a troublesome, uneven water level on the lake. Much could be improved.

Look for PIRANHA 3DD on this November 23. Stay tuned for more...

More Casting For TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D - And A Script Leak?

Alexandra Daddario (Pictured; PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS) has been cast in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D (formerly LEATHERFACE 3D) as Heather who travels to small-town Texas to collect her inheritance, which also luckily includes her deranged cousin Leatherface.

John Luessenhop (TAKERS) will direct, Carl Mazzocone is producing with exec producers Avi Lerner and Mark Burg. Lionsgate will distribute the Nu Image production domestically with Nu Image taking it worldwide. Debra Sullivan and Adam Marcus co-wrote, with polishing by Luessenhop and Kirsten Elms.

Shreveport, LA will host first light on the shooting schedule later this month.

What's Playing (via Bloody Disgusting) says that they have seen the script for the movie too and that it's impressive! You can read their discovery on their sites. Hmmm. Could be something to watch out for guys! More when I get it!

Watch: New FRIGHT NIGHT Trailer!

Hey guys - here's the new FRIGHT NIGHT trailer and poster from Dreamworks Pictures.

One the of the big things I am looking forward to in this movie is Anton Yelchin (STAR TREK). Obviously he has no accent in this film and his ability to carry scenes without Colin Farrell will be key, setting up the battles between them. Judging by the trailer, I think they are setting things up just about right - let's hope the polish and story is there too.

I really enjoyed the original with Chris Sarandon - quite inventive I thought for a vampire story in the 'burbs.

Here's the storyline:
Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he's running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he's so cool he’s even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—but everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

Movie Info:
Director: Craig Gillespie
Writer: Marti Noxon
Studio: DreamWorks Pictures
Cast: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Release: August 19, 2011

Watch: New FINAL DESTINATION 5 Trailer!

Hey guys - thanks to Alexandermcn for the heads up - we have the new FINAL DESTINATION 5 trailer! Yes another iteration of the license to print $$$ is upon us and in native 3D.

Here's the storyline:
In Final Destination 5, Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man's premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death's sinister agenda.

Director: Steven Quale
Writer: Eric Heisserer
Studio: Warner Bros Pictures
Cast: Emma Bell, Nicholas D'Agosto, Miles Fisher
Release: August 12, 2011



I think these movies give the Spike Channel's 1000 WAYS TO DIE a run for its money! Love the inventiveness. That bridge is fodder for quite a few demises I am sure...

You can follow all of our continuing FINAL DESTINATION 5 coverage right here.

ZOMBIELAND 2 Plans A Superstar Cameo AND A Plot Morsel

Got some ZOMBIELAND 2 info for you regarding some upcoming cameo action! Seems that Ruben Fleischer is interested in nabbing Harrison Ford or Anthony Hopkins for a comedic intersection in the sequel along the same vein as what Bill Murray did for the original (which everyone loved!). The parellel with Hopkins is obvious what with his character Hannibal eating humans without the need of being a zombie in the first place! :-)

The info comes from Bloody Disgusting who also claim that the script calls for "a lead villain with comedic roots, while Tallahassee (played by Woody Harrelson) will find himself going head-to-head with a 'hunky rival'."

So far only Jesse 'facebook' Eisenberg has signed on for ZOMBIELAND 2, but you can expect some more actors attaching themselves soon.

I was thrilled with the original movie - so of course I am ecstatic that the sequel will be in native 3D. Fleischer was quoted as saying: "When it comes to 3D, I feel pretty strongly that you should shoot it in camera. I feel like it just looks so much better. If you're going to make a 3D movie, go ahead and make a 3D movie. I would definitely, if we do 'Zombieland 2,' make it in 3D and want to shoot it in 3D."

Gotta love it! More when I get it...

Six New Awesome Posters For Sony's PRIEST!

I am liking these posters! Take a look at a new series of posters from Sony for PRIEST. I feel they are setting pretty cool expectations that we are going to see something not quite like we have ever seen before in a vampire movie. Of course there is the old west vibe, but also the futuristic world is full of decent imagery - sets an interesting tone!

PRIEST will be lighting the screens on May 13, 2011.

FYI on the characters: Paul Bettany is "Priest" (VAMPIRE KILLER), Cam Gigandet is "Hicks" (THE LAW), Maggie Q is "Priestess" (WARRIOR), Lily Collins is "Lucy" (KIDNAPPED) and Karl Urban is "BLACK HAT".

Storyline:
PRIEST is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. Paul Bettany is Priest, a legendary warrior priest during the last Vampire War, who now lives in obscurity among the other human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities controlled by the Church. But when his 18-year-old niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires in the desolate wastelands outside, Priest breaks his sacred vows and ventures out to find her and seek vengeance upon those responsible, especially their brutal leader (Karl Urban). Priest is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, Hicks (Cam Gigandet), a local outpost sheriff, and Priestess (Maggie Q), a member of his former legion of vampire-killers who has otherworldly fighting skills.

I thought Karl Urban's BLACK HAT poster looks more like Hugh Jackman! I had to look twice lol.

What do you think? You anticipating this one or what?

Thanks AvatarFan for the heads up.

MUST WATCH: New SAW 3D Trailer!

This week has seen a couple of trailers come out for 3D movies already and now a third: SAW 3D. Lionsgate is taking a different tact this time and are running with a trailer quite reminiscent of the MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D trailers that emphasized the gimmicky nature of horror in 3D - and I love it!

Interesting piece of trivia: In the very first opening shot of this trailer, take note of the condo building (Symphony Place) in the top right just above that roundish building (Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto) - I used to live there! 14th floor. Kinda creepy seeing it in this fashion - a SAW movie... :-)

Gimmicky 3D has its place today and that is horror. I don't want to see it anywhere else, but for horror? Amp it up. Lionsgate is doing just that!

So check out the new trailer for SAW 3D:



Love where the whole audience gets the Jigsaw treatment! Personally I think Lionsgate is marketing this thing correctly. Good luck guys!

SHARK NIGHT 3-D Adds Talent...

Director David R. Ellis is selecting his bait cast members for his upcoming horror SHARK NIGHT 3-D.

The storyline is focused on seven men and women who spend a weekend at a lake house in Louisiana's Gulf area. When their vacation quickly becomes a nightmare of hellish shark attacks, unheard of in freshwater lakes, they soon discover that the sharks are part of a sick, greedy plan on the part of several locals.seven men and women who spend a weekend at a lake house in Louisiana's Gulf area.

Added to the talent roster is the pictured Joel David Moore (AVATAR) who provides comic relief as a socially awkward guy who fancies himself a young Brad Pitt, Sinqua Walls (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) plays a Tulane University linebacker with plans on marrying his college sweetheart (Diaz), Chris Carmack (ALPHA AND OMEGA) is the ex-boyfriend of the female lead, still uncast, who was scarred in a boating accident and Alyssa Diaz (RED DAWN).

I don't have a grasp of this project yet so I won't comment too deeply. Adding Moore is a great move though. Shooting is slated to start in the coming couple of weeks in Louisiana. PIRANHA 3D did well critically, so why not?
