We're currently live at the Comic-Con panel for Red Sonja with Robert Rodriguez, Rose McGowan, and Doug Aarniokoski and have an exciting new update for fans! A few weeks ago we officially announced that Rodriguez would be producing a Red Sonja movie with McGowan starring and Robert's ex-second unit director Douglas Aarniokoski directing. Robert and Rose's discussion, which focused on how all three of them have been huge fans of Robert E. Howard's work for ages, eventually touched briefly on the upcoming Conan movie. Rodriguez mention that details have already spilled about Conan (read more about that here) and that he might either produce or direct that movie as well in combination with Red Sonja. If you're unfamiliar with these two stories, they come from Howard's same universe. Over the last year, various directors have been rumored to be involved on the Conan movie, from Hitman's Xavier Gens to Rob Zombie.

Today we stumbled across one of the most interesting new indie horror films currently in production - and while we were prepping a piece on it, Twitch Film scored news that Xavier Gens (Frontiers, Hitman) is one of the producers! The film is called The Horde and was directed by Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher. Inside you'll find the poster and long synopsis for the flick, which follows an end of the world battle between gangsters, cops and zombies. North of Paris. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, corrupt cops four go on a rampage in a condemned building serving as the mobster's hideout. Now trapped, the officers are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone....

The brutal French splatter film Frontier(s) opens with footage of riots in the Paris suburbs in response to the election of an extreme right-wing candidate. It then transitions from the frying pan into the fire, as four hoodlums flee the authorities for the countryside and wind up in an inn operated by cannibalistic neo-Nazis. That juxtaposition is what passes for social commentary in the film, which otherwise commits itself to a relentlessly ugly and derivative reworking of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Along with films like Á L'Intérieur (Inside) and Haute Tension (High Tension), Frontier(s) represents a mini-movement of Hollywood-slick yet fashionably outré French horror that seeks to beat its extreme American counterparts at their own game. In this particular case, director Xavier Gens (Hitman) probably should have aimed higher. For all practical purposes, the election-day riots are a red herring, since the gang of four, having just.

This week sees the return of the Wachowski brothers, Tarsem Singh ("The Cell") and Henry Bean ("The Believer") to the big screen, not to mention new films from documentarians Nick Broomfield ("Tupac and Biggie") and Doug Pray ("Scratch"). On the other hand, after running around Tribeca, we still need to catch up on last week's releases.

"The Babysitters"

The idea of the spunky teenage boy succumbing to the allure of an experienced older woman is the kind of Hollywood golden goose that launches major careers (think Dustin Hoffman). But when the roles are reversed, the result is the directorial debut of David Ross that sees an entrepreneurial high schooler (Katherine Waterston, daughter of Sam) and her friends turn their babysitting ring into a call girl service, realizing there are alternative ways to pay for college besides waiting tables. It stars when one local dad (John Leguizamo) goes
