'Demons' Invade BBC America
8 December 2009 1:47 PM, PST
Our friends at BBC America just let us know that, on January 2, 2010, they'll be bringing a new kind of vampire show to the small screen. Demons is a return to classic, monstrous vampires (as opposed to the current trend of romantic vamps). Christian Cooke (Doctor Who) plays Luke, a teenager whose life is interrupted by the arrival of an old family friend, Rupert (played by Philip Glenister, Life on Mars). Rupert reveals that Luke is the great-great grandson of vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing and must carry on the "family business."
Sound familiar? Well, it worked for Joss Whedon. And like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Demons isn't just about vampires. Luke will...

See What's Behind 'The Gate'
8 December 2009 12:42 PM, PST
H2O Motion Pictures has, on its website, posted some artwork for the company's upcoming remake of the classic 1987 kids' fantasy-horror flick The Gate. It's not much to go on, but judging by these images (taken, one can assume, from the film's storyboards) it looks like attention is being paid to making the film's monsters and set pieces at least reminscent of the original's.
Add to that the fact that the film, directed by Alex Winter (a.k.a. Bill of Bill and Ted fame), will be in 3D, with design and visual effects by Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings veteran Randall William Cook, assisted by no less a luminary than friggin' Alien designer H.R. Giger, and we might have a...

Frank Langella Enters 'Unknown'
8 December 2009 12:03 PM, PST
Frank Langella's becoming the go-to guy for classy character-acting in otherwise dubious-sounding thrillers. Variety has just announced that the veteran actor (and former Dracula) will follow up his role in The Box by starring in the upcoming Dark Castle film Unknown White Male, alongside Liam Neeson, January Jones and Diane Kruger.
"Neeson," says Variety, "plays a man who awakens from a coma to find somebody else has assumed his identity. Langella plays Cole, who comes forward as the coma guy's colleague and gets involved as he tries to reclaim his identity."
(I love how Neeson's character is referred to as "coma guy"; which would make for a much better name for the...

'Famous Monsters' Resurrected by Idw
7 December 2009 4:32 PM, PST
The legendary monster movie magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland is coming back from the dead. Again.
The magazine -- which in its early '60s heyday inspired a generation of horror filmmakers, writers and artists (among them Stephen King and Steven Spielberg) -- has been revived once before. That last revival was in the early '90s, after original publisher/editor James Warren relinquised the license. Original nominal editor Forrest J. Ackerman was on board for the revival's first handful of issues before the new publisher realized Ackerman (while certainly a colorful, lovable, oversized personality and, as a writer, an obvious influence on the mag) never actually edited the...

Bollywood and J-Horror are 'Fired'
7 December 2009 3:57 PM, PST
Two genres I never thought would mix, Bollywood and J-Horror, but here we are. From the looks of the trailer for the new Hindi horror flick Fired, all of your J-Horror bases appear to be covered.
The good news? I didn't see a musical number. The bad news? There are already censorship issues. More info and the Fired trailer below.
From Washington Bangla Radio:
Fired (2010) is an upcoming Bollywood Hindi movie starring Rahul Bose, Militza Radmilovic and Dinesh Lamba in lead roles.
The movie is largely in English language with spattering of Hindi - the little Hindi will alsobe dubbed into English for the international release.

Dexter Producer Clyde Phillips Q&A
7 December 2009 2:23 PM, PST
I think we need a countdown clock to the season finale of Dexter. This has been such a phenomenal season, and the final episode promises twists, shocks, and surprises. Wouldn't the ultimate surprise be if nothing happened? Okay, that's not likely. But if you are going crazy theorizing about it, take a break and check out this video chat with series executive producer Clyde Phillips.
He doesn't give away any season finale secrets so don't hold your breath. In fact, everyone on the show – including all the executives at Showtime, had to sign super-duper non-disclosure contracts to keep the big secrets under wraps. Phillips sticks to more banal – but...
