'Alan Wake' Awakening For May Release?
16 hours ago | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
Previously mentioned as a hopeful Spring 2010 release, Microsoft's Remedy-developed "Alan Wake" may be a lock for May on the 360. The dark, psychological thriller that is reportedly structured episodically to emulate a TV series has been in the workshop for almost half a decade but emerged at E3 as a playable demo. It also appears to be proceeding on schedule -- pending confirmation of course.
Microsoft wants a global release for the title in late May, an unnamed source told McV. The company refused to comment officially, calling the May news "rumor and speculation," but the report quotes its source as saying the game will be promoted "in the style of a Hollywood movie," whatever that means.
Footage that's been release thus far from "Alan Wake" resembles more of a "Twin Peaks"-esque plot than it does a traditional "Uncharted" or "GTA IV"-style action game, setting itself in a remote town called Bright Falls. »

The Long Good-Bye: Surviving Hiatus Season (Especially After the Mad Men Season Finale)
10 November 2009 11:27 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Guest post by Sarah T.
Typically, one would expect that September is the most depressing month of the year because school resumes and everything starts getting colder. But when I was a kid, I believed that the worst time of the year was May because all the great shows went on hiatus. Then after two months, the excitement would start to build just in time for the TV network’s new fall line-up previews. But now, if your fav show runs on a specialty or cable channel, hiatus-time is anytime. For example, the Mad Men Facebook group members are agonizing about the very long wait until season 4 starts next summer. It really is painful. But that’s the new TV reality with these shows that are run on cable or pay channels. It’s the trend that we must all accept.
It can be quite a shock if you’re a late-adopter like me. »

'Sorrow' Gets Twisted
8 November 2009 9:30 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Sorrow, Nevada. It sounds like a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to be attacked by angry, restless spirits there.
Actually, Sorrow is a fictional town in a comic book of the same name, which is being adapted into a film by Twisted Pictures, according to Shock Till You Drop. Michael Hidalgo, whose "Butcherhouse Chronicles" script will be going into production at Platinum Dunes, will be writing the screenplay.
Sorrow is being described as The Exorcist meets the dreadful atmosphere of Twin Peaks. Based on a comic by Rick Remender, Seth Peck, and Francesco Francavilla, which was published through Image Comics, it centers around a town ravaged by nuclear testing where the population is supposedly zero. However, a young woman searching for her Native American ancestry soon finds there are locals in Sorrow; but whether they’re actually among the living becomes another question.

Twisted Pictures Wants You to Feel Sorrow
7 November 2009 12:32 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Another comic-to-film adaptation is in the pipeline, this one from Twisted Pictures, the company most known for its Saw films. It's called Sorrow and is the brainchild of Rick Remender, Seth Peck, and Francesco Francavilla published by Image Comics.
You may recall that Twisted Pictures was in the news recently due to its efforts to acquire the rights to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and then prepare another remake ... in 3D. Nothing firm has been announced on that front yet, but Twisted is hardly sitting around twiddling its thumbs. According to Shock Till You Drop Twisted's Mark Burg and Oren Koules will produce Sorrow along with Erick Salomon, Chris Ridenhour, and Andrew Wilson. Michael Hidalgo is writing the script and had this to say about the project: ""Rick, Seth, and Francesco have created a throwback to '70s and '80s horror/thriller films with the perfect mix of terror and memorable characters. »

Interview with Nathan and Seth Anderson, co-directors of Black
6 November 2009 10:14 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Sos: This is your second short film. What would you say was the most difficult part of the entire process? Sa: I think each film presents its own unique challenges, and like our previous short The Merciful Death of Jonas Blake, major hurdles presented themselves at each stage of production. It's difficult to pinpoint one thing, but I'd say the primary challenge in the case of Black was a lack of manpower and a narrow time frame with which to accomplish our goals. As with Jonas, we were able to call on the support of our partner Jason's family for locations in coastal Oregon. After money was in place, we then assembled part of our cast in Los Angeles, and the next big challenge was connecting these local resources with our Oregon location that existed 15 hours north. After a long van ride up the 5 freeway, we then had 6 days wherein »

Described as a mix of Exorcist -like terror with the dread of Twin Peaks , "Sorrow" is set in the eponymous town of Nevada that was ravaged by nuclear testing. The sign at the front of the town reads "Population Zero." However, the locals have a very different story. When a young woman, searching for her Native... »
First stills from Gregg Araki's Twin Peaks tinged, over-sexed scifi romp Kaboom
4 November 2009 1:07 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Gregg Araki's wild, over-sexed and slightly apocalyptic cult movies defined the nineties indie movement as much as the work of Steven Soderbergh or Quentine Tarantino. They were ripe with outsider sentiment and were insanely sophisticated in terms of presenting gen-x youth culture in action. Not only that but you gotta give the man props for introducing us to many of our favorite sex kittens - The Doom Generation's Rose McGowan and, of course, his Nowhere brought us Denise Richards.
His new film is called Kaboom and it brings together Thomas Dekker (of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fame), Kelly Lynch, Rooney Mara, Roxane Mesquida in a film that sounds like classic Araki, but with a scifi twist. And for the Araki fans out there, yes James Duval is in this film too.

Meet The Author 2009-10 Series Presents An Evening & Workshop with Jerry Stahl 10/30
30 October 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »
Jerry Stahl's first book, the harrowing memoir Permanent Midnight, tells the story of his life as a successful Hollywood writer living with drug addiction. Beginning his career in the adult film industry, Stahl later began writing scripts for such TV hits as "Moonlighting," "Thirtysomething," and "Alf," jobs that put almost $7,000 a week in his bank account. Moving between $100 Los Angeles lunches and meetings with Cybill Shepherd to dangerous scores in the worst parts of the city, Stahl managed to lose his family, his house, his screenwriting opportunity for the second season of "Twin Peaks," and nearly his life. Permanent Midnight is not for people with delicate sensibilities or any other low thresholds for truth. »

North 40 – Issues #1-4 (Comic Reviews)
27 October 2009 11:21 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Small towns are always the strangest in my book. I’ve taken many roads across this old Us of A, and the ones that scare me the most are the places that looked tucked away like a secret hiding place for monsters. Question is... were they hiding monsters? They gotta live somewhere right?
North 40 – Issue #1-4 | WildStorm Comics
Written by Aaron Williams | Art by Fiona Staples
And indeed the monsters do; just now born into the WildStorm Universe in the backwards place of Conover County in a small town called Lufton... just off North 40. The title is a simple but effective one, basically saying monsters can be anywhere on the map without the overused words like “dark” and “evil” to describe the place. You kind of get that eerie feeling already when you hear it along the lines of Route 66, Elm Street, and Sleepy Hollow Lane. North 40 gives birth to many monsters, »

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 1
27 October 2009 5:54 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Given man's unwavering fascination with woman, it's no surprise that the female star acts as the anchor to a dominant portion of horror pictures. I mean really, who wants to see a bare chested man tearin ass through the woods screaming at the top of his lungs while a bladed assailant nips at his heels? I don't - I know that much, although I'm certain there are plenty of men who would disagree (and that's okay with me, to each his own!). The simple fact remains however, women bring a unique appeal and certain sensual atmosphere to film that no man ever could. And it's not all about gratuitous T&A.
There's a comforting quality in the hands of the heroine; a fascinating maternal strength that, as a man I cannot genuinely relate to. I can however admire, and in many cases it's nearly impossible to not admire the lone »

Josh Lawson, Ron Perlman, and Emma Lung to Star in Charles de Lauzirika’s Feature Debut Crave
26 October 2009 10:09 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Ron Perlman (”Hellboy”), Josh Lawson (”$quid: The Movie”), and Emma Lung (”The Boys Are Back”) have all signed on to Charles de Lauzirkia’s indie thriller, “Crave”. According to THR, the story “centers on a troubled photographer (Lawson) whose dangerous visions wreak havoc when his romance with a young woman (Lung) ends and he is pursued by a world-weary detective (Perlman).” I love the “troubled photographer” character because I always like to imagine him down at Sears about to take a family’s Christmas photo and suddenly he screams, “The demons are coming to rape us all!” And isn’t that really what Christmas is all about?
This is de Lauzirkia’s feature debut which he also co-wrote the script with Robert Lawton (”Sex & Sushi”). If you don’t know who de Lauzirika is, take a look at the DVDs and Blu-rays on your shelf. You see the ones with the greatest extra content? »

Villains We Love: Leland Palmer
18 October 2009 11:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Pretty much everything about the world of Twin Peaks is magic. The stable of actors is amazing -- from the wonders of Jack Nance to the still chills of Sheryl Lee's smile, to the quirky post-West Side Story Richard Beymer and Russ Tamblyn. Angelo Badalamenti's score remains one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. David Lynch and Mark Frost made for a perfect mixture of continuity and insanity, while always knowing just how gently to pull at the strings of tension and chill the nerves.
But my true and refined appreciation rests with Ray Wise. One of my favorite severely underrated actors, Wise's performance in both the series and film is stunning. He's one of the rare actors who can pull off the most scary and convincing moments of sadisticness just as easily as the charming moments steeped in sweetness and charisma. »

The Hagstone Demon (2009)
11 October 2009 5:21 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
Review by: Elisabeth Fies
Directed by: Jon Springer
Written by: Harrison Matthews, Jon Springer - Writer
Winner of the Atlanta Horror Fest's Buried Alive award last weekend, The Hagstone Demon showcases Mark Borchadt of American Movie infamy in a sometimes hilarious, always interesting low budget smashup mix of seminal favorites including Blue Velvet and Rosemary's Baby. Part noir, part horror, The Hagstone Demon had its audience laughing out loud at scenes both intentionally and unintentionally funny. With another dialogue pass or three on the screenplay and some more judicious editing, this film could have been a breakout hit.
When Douglas Elmore (Mark Borchadt) takes over the job of caretaking an old spooky apartment building about to be torn down, he thinks it will be an easy gig that will keep him close to the memory of his tragically dead ex-wife. Instead he finds a mounting bodycount of tenants, a weirdly »

Fox’s 15 Gigs Opens Up Their Digital Playbook
7 October 2009 2:43 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.tv | See recent Tubefilter News news »
The latest addition to a long line of new media forays backed by major media compaines is Fox Television Studio's 15 Gigs, which recently sponsored a coveted prize at the New York Television Festival. While covering the festival, I had a chance to sit down and chat with two of 15 Gigs' executives, Ilsa Berg, Director of Programming and Rachel Webber, Director of Digital Strategy and Development. We wanted to know what exactly they are planning to succeed in a space still looking for its go-to model. Portfolio Approach Fox Television Studios, Fox's cable production arm, best known for edgy shows like The Shield and Burn Notice, is taking a different approach to creating a new media branch with 15 Gigs. "[We're] not in the business of creating a destination site" proclaimed Webber, such as Sony's Crackle, perhaps to avoid competing with parent-backed Hulu. Also, they are not strictly sticking to branded entertainment like NBC's Digital Studio. »

Cam Gigandet Wields 'Unbelievable Knife; Unbelievable Gun' For 'Priest' Adaptation
5 October 2009 6:01 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Around these parts, we’re really looking forward to “Priest,” the currently-shooting adaptation of Min-Woo Hyung’s graphic novel series about mankind’s battle against fallen angels, starring such notables as Paul Bettany, Stephen Moyer, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, Christopher Plummer, Brad Dourif and Madchen (Loved you on "Twin Peaks!") Amick.
It also stars one of our recent on-screen faves, the fast-rising Cam Gigandet—and when we caught up with him recently, he said the flick was well-armed for success.
“I have very cool weapons,” he said of his character Hicks, who he has described as a boy “trying to become a man.” “I have an unbelievable knife; I have an unbelievable gun.”
With that kind of weaponry, and the badass motorcycles he clued us in to recently, it seems that Gigandet will have no problem earning his manhood on screen when the flick hits theaters next summer.

Fantastic Fest Review: Terribly Happy
3 October 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Who's your favorite Danish film director? Favorite Danish film? No? Nothing? Don't feel bad, I've never seen a movie from Denmark either. (And no, Lars Von Trier's home video art projects don't count as movies.) I've finally seen my first one though, and if it's any indication of the country's typical output I'll be looking for more in the very near future. It mixes mystery, black comedy, and some eerie small town shenanigans into a delicious, crazy-filled danish of Coen-esque proportions. In fact, if one half of the Coen Brothers (doesn't really matter which) took a flight from La to Denmark and watched nothing but 'Twin Peaks' from takeoff to landing Terribly Happy is quite possibly the movie he'd go direct upon exiting the plane. Robert Hansen (Jakob Cedergren) is a big-city cop with emotional issues. He's been reassigned to a sleepy little town in rural Denmark to work through his problems, but »

Tiff ‘09: My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
24 September 2009 7:42 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? Directed by Werner Herzog Respected iconoclastic auteurs Werner Herzog and David Lynch collaborate on this drama, with Herzog as director and Lynch as executive producer. My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done is inspired by the harrowing true story of Mark Yarovsky (Michael Shannon), a graduate student at Uscd who, after being cast as the lead role in a Sophocles production, went on to stab and kill his mother with an antique sabre in his neighbor's living room. William Dafoe stars as Detective Hank Havenhurst, who is called to the home where the murderer has barricaded himself in his house and taken two hostages. Across the street, Brad's mother lies dead, found sprawled in a pool of blood, and slowly a string of Brad's friends arrive on the scene, among them his girlfriend (Cloe Sevigny) and his theater-director pal (Udo Kier).
