In stores October 19th from Shout! Factory

According to Twitch Film, David Gordon Green’s proposed remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria is at long last moving forward. Producer Marco Morabito has confirmed, via Italian website Bad Taste, that after nine months of discussions Argento has finally released the rights to the film because he is “convinced that his movie is a masterpiece and can’t be overshadowed.” Gotta love the modesty!

Morabito also confirmed that there is a script, a studio attached and the shooting will start at the beginning of the new year. And yes, David Gordon Green will be directing. Stay tuned for more!

Bob and Harvey Weinstein have had a much-publicized bad run over the years, which only got worse since their split from Walt Disney in 2005. Throughout their illustrious career, however, they have earned big bucks and an insane amount of accolades to go along with it. And while they may know how to get some great work out of some top flight directors, they haven’t had much luck with the horror genre. These films, in particular, are often plagued with problematic production schedules, being jerked from release date to release date, and of course, poor timing (“Grindhouse” on Good Friday, “Halloween: Resurrection” in July, “Wolf Creek” on Christmas Day; etc.).

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

byFreddy=Legend

The third installment in the Twilight franchise eclipses (pun intended) New Moon in every possible way.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse continues the story of Bella Swan(Kristen Stewart) as she struggles to maintain a “normal” life with Edward Cullen(Robert Pattinson), while attempting to keep her friendship with Jacob Black(Taylor Lautner). Of course, the hatred Edward and Jacob have for one another isn’t going away. This time around, Victoria(now played by Bryce Dallas Howard) is creating an army of Vampire newborns to take out the Cullen clan. The Cullen’s form an uneasy truce with the wolf pack and decide they need to work together to protect Bella at all costs.

The movie is surprisingly very different from the first two films. Of course changing directors will do that. David Slade(Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) helms this film, it’s obvious. He brought an edge to the franchise not seen before. The opening of the film is very dark, gothic; adding a new layer of uneasiness to the story. He balanced the big action scenes, as well as the intense feeding scenes very well with the teen melodrama of Bella’s life. The film also features two flashback sequences telling the history of Rosalie and Jasper. These two scene were my favorite in the entire film. They drew you in to another period and showed you just how big the Twilight universe could be. Plus it was great to just see a different side, a more human side to Rosalie and Jasper after being background characters for two films. [CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST IN OUR FORUM]
