Speaking this weekend in London during a promo tour, the original co-creator of the first New York spook-comedy let it be known that Ghostbusters 3 isn't gonna be a one trick pony. In an impassioned speech, Dan Aykroyd compared the rebooting to the Ecto-1 - a bit frazzled and in need of some severe pimping:
Halloween just won't be the same this year, according to a press release from Paramount Pictures and Blumhouse Productions. Their annual end of October slot usually reserved for their biggest franchise will now stand vacant. You can retire your spare pair of pants for Toby the demon's next outing, as Paranormal Activity 5 will now be released on March 13, 2015.
The Vicious Brothers, the team behind the chilling found footage flick, Grave Encounters, are back to scare again. Their last film saw a group of ghosthunters/total nutters venturing into an abandoned psychiatric hospital, with the hopes of taping genuine ghost footage. It managed to sidestep the pitfalls of the format and provide enough scares to make you wish you still had a nightlight. Their newest flick, Extraterrestrial, looks set to make you terrified of E.T.
That's right, John Rambo has not called it a day. He isn't too old for this shit. Rambo 5 is alive and kicking. The next entry - and I say next because despite the title, it very well might not be the last - could already have a name. According to a hot tip delivered by Coming Soon reader 'nopr100' - the moniker will apparently be Rambo: Last Blood.
After yesterday's news that Hayley Atwell would reprise her role as Agent Carter in Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., the question that immediately sprung to mind was how? Her youthful self appeared in the first Captain America flick, but then the actress returned for the sequel all kitted out with a face full of prosthetics to play an elderly Carter.
Stephen King adaptations are a hit and miss sub-genre all of their own. For every Carrie or Shawshank, there's a Maximum Overdrive or Thinner. With King's prolific back catalogue providing a seemingly endless reservoir of established material, it comes as no surprise that his magnum opus, The Stand, is getting a remake. And from none other than The Fault In Our Stars director Josh Boone.
Summer's winding down, the nights are drawing in and Halloween is the next big holiday. For all you horror fans out there, this means one thing: a cinematic calendar filled with spooky, gory, and altogether frightening flicks to aid your insomnia. Or, in more recent years: remakes, sequels and reboots. Either way you'll likely leave the theatre screaming; from fear or frustration. To prepare you for the dark nights ahead, we urge you to scope out the first trailer for meta-remake, The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
With TIFF finally bowing out after an incredible run, the next big festival slated to saturate the filmic blogsphere with news, rumours, gossip (amidst the occasional kernel of truth) is the 52nd New York Film Festival. The roster for the fall fest is packing a wallop so far, with a ton of anticipated movies set to debut. David Fincher's Gone Girl and the Michael Keaton comeback vehicle, Birdman, are among the impressive line-up. Along with Paul Thomas Anderson's long awaited Inherent Vice.
Anticipation for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is mounting faster than a pair of jackrabbits. With just over two months to go until the end of Katniss's journey begins, that's another eight weeks for film journalists to struggle with the grammatical order of its title. It's a colon, then a hyphen.
Even God himself isn't offended by the foul-mouthed antics of a stoner teddy bear. The man upstairs with his unmistakable booming voice, Morgan Freeman, will be sharing screentime with the pint-sized plushie for next summer's Ted 2.
