Exclusive photos, director comments: Savage County on-line shocker
10 November 2009 12:11 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Director David Harris sent along some exclusive pics (see them below) from his fright feature Savage County, an MTV production which will be presented in eight 10-minute on-line installments beginning next February. Lensed in Memphis, Tn this past summer, the movie (scripted by Harris and Dan Alvarado) is about a group of high-schoolers who run afoul of a vicious backwoods family, the Hardells.
Savage County is an unabashed homage to vintage rural horrors of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre breed, though Harris notes it has a true-life inspiration as well. “I grew up in Texas,” he tells Fango, “and as a kid, I was 100 percent sure that Chainsaw 1 and 2 were documentaries. We had a big woods near our neighborhood, with a 1800s house and a rambling old man with a shotgun and 100 cats—basically, a slightly less decrepit ‘Grandpa.’ That was the original big scare for me, and there was no »

Kelly Osbourne has one wish for her 25th birthday, which is Tuesday -- to last another week on "Dancing with the Stars!"
The reality star told "Extra" on Monday night that she's worried about going home on Tuesday's double elimination show after landing in the bottom three. She and partner Louis van Amstel earned just 20 points for their jitterbug.
"If we're in the bottom three, I'll be really upset," she said before competing. "I don't »

Happy Birthday, Spike Jonze: Wake-Up Video
22 October 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
If you happen to run into Spike Jonze today, be sure to give him a pat on the back for making a truly stunning film adaptation of "Where the Wild Things Are." But you can also wish him a happy birthday, as today he turns 40 years old. The man born Adam Spiegel spent his youth as a Bmx and skateboard enthusiast and got involved with filmmaking when he started filming his friends doing tricks and stunts. His warped visual style, wide-eyed innocence and sense of adventure have served him well, as he has become one of the most talked-about American film directors. 1999's "Being John Malkovich" and 2002's "Adaptation" were both formidable stories told with Jonze's slick mix of absurdist humor and childlike melancholy, but it's the recently-released "Where the Wild Things Are" that solidifies Jonze as a true genius.
Of course, the director has had a long history with MTV. »

Review: Where the Wild Things Are a Rowdy Rumpus (That'll Totally Make You Cry)
16 October 2009 5:30 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Review in a Hurry: Artfully oddball director Spike Jonze brings his aesthetic to the much-loved children's book about a rowdy kid who leaves home to become king of the monsters, only to find it's not easy being in charge. If you ever loved the book as a kid or parent (or both), you will cry. Yes you will. Don't fight it. The Bigger Picture: The director of quirky brain-teasers Being John Malkovich and Adaptation might not initially seem like a perfect fit to adapt a Maurice Sendak book, but his work on Beastie Boys videos and Jackass actually gives him the perfect understanding of a rowdy, 9-year-old sensibility. From the opening credits that appear to have been vandalized by a kid and a crayon, to the emotional... »

Sperm Bank Offers Celeb Lookalikes

Having trouble narrowing down your choice of sperm donor? Perhaps it will help you to know—as it did one mom-to-be—that one option is a Freddie Prinze Jr lookalike. “For me, that clinched it right then and there,” she tells MSNBC. “I’ve always found him attractive!” Thanks to California Cryobank, you can now select a sperm donor who resembles Ben Affleck, Chan Ho Park, Seth Rogen, or even Jackass star Steve-o. The decidedly old-fashioned program—celebrity lookalikes are selected based on a staff discussion, not a computer program—does have its critics, but one exec says it’s just a... »

Glowing Early Review of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’
12 October 2009 10:21 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Our friend Harry Knowles over at Ain’t It Cool News has given the Spike Jonze film adaptation of the eponymous 1963 children’s book Where The Wild Things Are a glowing review. Check out just one bit of praise they give give the film:
“…it could very well be the best film ever created about what it is like to be a 9 year old…it will conjure up primal childhood emotions of joy, regret, elation, confusion and you may realize that you’ve lost an awful lot, by simply growing up.”
Wow, to call that review “glowing” is an understatement!
The full review from AICN suggests the film, unlike almost every other, fulfills every wish that floods the mind when you imagine what Where the Wild Things Are could be. On the other hand, it sets the bar really, really, high before even stepping into the theater. Rarely is that a good thing. »

Directions to Zombieland
2 October 2009 2:28 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
If someone were to tell you about a new zombie comedy by a first-time feature director, shot on HD, most likely your thoughts wouldn’t turn to a large-scale adventure starring Woody Harrelson. Yet that’s exactly what Zombieland (now playing from Columbia Pictures) is: a loud, fun major-studio horror/comedy. As you can imagine, it was quite an undertaking for Ruben Fleischer to make this his big-screen debut—and one everyone around him was wary of.
“With a young director, the natural instinct is to question what they’re doing, especially when they’re dealing with people who are so experienced,” says Fleischer, whose background is largely in television. “There’s a degree of taking on the role of director, and you’ve got to step into those boots. I’m not the most confident or outgoing person in the day-to-day, but when you’re in charge of a »

Celebrating 80(?!) Years Of Spike Jonze At New York's Museum Of Modern Art
28 August 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Filmmaker Spike Jonze has always flirted around at the outskirts of the mainstream. Ehhhh... maybe more like the mainstream's suburbs. He made an effortless transition from music videos -- including Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" and Weezer's "Buddy Holly" -- to Hollywood features like "Being John Malkovich" and "Adaptation." He was also a writer and producer on the "Jackass" TV series and subsequent movies. For all of that, Jonze has never quite breached into "household name" territory.
This fall's re-envisioning of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" could very well change all of that. That's probably why Jonze will be honored by New York City's Museum of Modern Art in a 10 day career retrospective, ending just two days after "Wild Things" hits theaters. The exhibit will showcase "Malkovich," "Adaptation," "Jackass: The Movie," the documentary "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" and a range of music videos and short films. »

The 69 Eyes – Back In Blood (Musick Review)
27 August 2009 6:12 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The Helsinki Vampires are indeed back again, however they are trading their sleaze glam and their "Dead Cool" Goth Rock image for a new gritty metal edge. This time around, the act pushes aside completely the notion of being a romantically inspired act and takes up the complete mantle of power stage rockers. When the act made their first big splash in 2005 when skating legend Bam Margera directed the “Lost Boys” video, they were billed by many music magazines as “The Saviors of Gothic Rock”, a title that has never sat well with yours truly, any more than I would say Manson was “Goth’s Salvation”. Neither act has really spent any length of time wanting to further the music scene that their respective record producers felt they should be pigeon holed into. Admittedly however, The 69 Eyes had a campy fun charm that hooked U.S. fans instantly and with »

The Museum of Modern Art Presents Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years
25 August 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
The Museum of Modern Art has announced the first-ever exhibition to focus on Spike Jonze, "celebrating his work as a director, producer, cinematographer, writer, actor, choreographer, and sometime stuntman." I love the title of the exhibition, Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years. Apparently Jonze came up with the wry title for the early mid-career retrospective title himself. The exhibition runs October 8th through 18th, 2009, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters. More details after the jump. The exhibition covers Jonze’s entire filmmaking and television career. Included are Jonze’s first two feature films, Being John Malkovich (1999), for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Director, and Adaptation (2002), as well as two films that he co-produced: Jackass: The Movie (2002), based on the popular MTV show he helped create, and the documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad (2008). Also presented are Jonze’s celebrated music videos for Björk, Fatboy Slim, Weezer, »

A baby is on board for Johnny Knoxville and his girlfriend of nearly a year Naomi Nelson. A representative for the actor exclusively confirms to Us Weekly that Naomi is three months pregnant. "Yes, they are expecting and very excited," says the representative.
The representative doesn't provide any other information about Naomi's pregnancy, yet an insider close to Johnny has been cited as telling Life and Style, "He's excited - and a little nervous." The insider goes on stating, "He's found a degree of peace with Naomi. He treats her like an angel and keeps reminding her that all his strange stunts are just part of his job."
Now that Johnny is expecting a child with Naomi, the "Jackass" principal star is said talking "all the time about marrying her," adds the insider. "Unlike his rocky first marriage [to Melanie Clapp], he wants to set up a really stable, normal household. His wild days, »
