Summer has passed and the look back at the year of 2009 draws to a close. Through this final quarter, AceShowbiz reminisces what had happened during the holidays and when the award season takes over the movie industry once again. From the astonishing box office success of indie phenomenon "Paranormal Activity" in October to the unveiling of the much questioned War Machine of "Iron Man 2" in November to "Up in the Air" dominating awards in December, the last three months of 2009 were filled with many stories from Hollywood's past and future projects.
October
"Paranormal Activity" has become the talk of the town throughout the month of October. Being set for a release in 13 different "college towns" across the United States in late September, this independent horror film went on to get a wide release in a matter of weeks due to the overwhelming demand from hundreds of thousands of fans. »

Fuller Responds to Friday the 13th Part 2 Rumors
17 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Plenty is being said about Friday the 13th Part 2 . None of it true, it appears, well as far as some rumors are concerned. Over the weekend, a site called Pajiba reported that Jason Voorhees is being killed off in the upcoming Platinum Dunes sequel and that it could be the last Friday the 13th . Even if true, we've seen Voorhees die before only to return again. Still, rumors ran rampant and Fuller said, via his Twitter account, that it's all bullshit and "I am working on F13 part 2 everyday." And no, contrary to other reports, Richard Wardlow is not directing. Friday the 13th: Part 2 is anticipated to arrive in theaters on August 13, 2010. »
'Friday The 13th': Ranking The Series From Top To Bottom
13 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Today is Friday the 13th, the unluckiest day of the year! That gives me an excuse to indulge in one of my favorite pasttimes as an amateur "Friday the 13th" historian. I can't remember when my obsession with the adventures of Jason Voorhees really began, but I do know that I've studied this series from top to bottom multiple times.
Perhaps you're new to the "Friday" game and need some guidance. The natural urge would be to start from the beginning, but that would be a mistake that would result in sadness and nausea. Since the continuity between movies doesn't matter in the slightest, it's best to take them out of order. But where to start? Glad you asked. Here are the 12 "Friday the 13th" films, ranked in order of greatness from truly excellent to whatever "Jason Goes to Hell" is. Stay lucky!

'Paranormal Activity' star Katie Featherston's new movie: 'Experimental Activity'
4 November 2009 3:42 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Once upon a time, there was an indie horror flick called Walking Distance, about a small town where weird government experiments happen. It starred Friday the 13th's (and Friday the 13th Part 2's!) Adrienne King, plus a bunch of other people you probably don't know. Or didn't until one of said people, Katie Featherston, became an overnight sensation thanks to Paranormal Activity. So how might Walking Distance's distribution company celebrate this unexpected windfall? Change the movie's name to...Experimental Activity. Get it? Of course you do.

Terrifyingly Gnarly #18 – House Of The Devil’s A.J. Bowen
28 October 2009 5:38 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
To me, it’s fitting that in our lengthy conversation, actor A.J. Bowen tells me he was close to answering the phone with Tom Atkins’ famous line, “Thrill Me.” With his phenomenal facial hair (which I open the interview with) and true talent showcased in our beloved genre, I can see him attaining the heights of that classic ’80s hero. This Friday, Ti West’s much anticipated House Of The Devil reaches theaters (you can currently check it out on VOD, and you should!) where you can see Bowen in a relatively small but integral and very fun role. Punch drunk in love with the film since I saw it earlier this year at Tribeca and a huge admirer of Bowen’s excellent work in The Signal, I knew I’d have to get him talking about it all. So read on, and get excited about the lumberjack resembling future of horror, »

Friday The 13th Sequel Gets An Official Release Date
4 October 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
The next movie in the Friday The 13th series has received an official release date, and yes…you’ve guessed it! It will be on Friday 13th August 2010!
The last film, released in cinemas earlier this year topped the Us box office during its first weekend with $42m (£26m) in ticket sales.
The sequel will be titled simply Friday The 13th Part 2. It’s said to be a big landmark for the franchise, because it’s actually the 13th film in the series ever to be made.
In the last movie, five teens – Wade, Ritchie, Amanda, Mike and Whitney travel to Camp Crystal Lake on the hunt for marijuana where the group is brutally murdered by Jason Voorhees. Six weeks later, Whitney’s brother Clay goes to Crystal Lake searching for his missing sister, distributing flyers with Whitney’s picture on it to the locals. Clay eventually discovers the »

'Willy Wonka' Gets A Musical And Jason Voorhies Strikes Again In Today's Dailies -- 10/2/09

-- You know what's pretty crazy? This trailer for "The Crazies," the upcoming remake of George A. Romero's classic horror film. The movie, directed by Breck Eisner ("Sahara"), focuses on a Midwestern town that's gone bizonkers due to a mysterious toxin in the water supply. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell play the lead roles. (Apple)
-- John Woo is set to bring his Chinese action epic "Red Cliff" stateside on November 20, 2009, and there's a brand new trailer to prove it. I'm still wondering how he'll fit his trademark hero-with-two-pistols into the period piece, but I'm keeping an open mind. (Apple)
-- Remember that horrifying Discovery Channel special about Earth's future millions of years down the line, where humanity is gone and scary hybrid creatures have taken over? It's time to live through that nightmare again, as "The Future is Wild" is coming to the big screen courtesy of "Shrek" producer John Williams. »

'Friday the 13th Part 2' Secures a 2010 Date
2 October 2009 2:08 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. have announced that they are moving forward with the sequel to 2009's "Friday the 13th" by setting up a release date. On Thursday, October 1, the studios revealed that they are aiming to bring "Friday the 13th Part 2" into theaters across America in summer of 2010.
The exact schedule for the release of this thirteenth installment in the series will be on August 13, 2010.
On that particular date, "Part 2" will be up against Screen Gems' horror "Priest", which deals with a warrior priest who disobeys church law by teaming with a young sheriff and a priestess to track down a band of renegade vampires and get his kidnapped niece back.
The date has been teased by producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form earlier. "If it does get greenlit, and we are able to mount it in a reasonable amount of time, we will have the »

More Michael Myers for Next Summer
2 September 2009 8:07 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Although the previews for Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 mentioned it was the “final chapter” of the series, there is already word that a third Halloween film will be produced and released for summer 2010. Many critics find this strange as H2 did not do well at the box-office last weekend, making only $17 million and being beaten out by The Final Destination 3D and Inglourious Basterds. Rumor has it that the next installment will be created using 3D technology, much like H2's nemesis Final Destination. In addition, the film is rumored to be directed by Steve Minor, the director of the original Halloween series Halloween H2O (in addition to other horror films such as Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part 3). However, true Halloween fans could be anticipating something completely new with a third installment. Many will remember that the original Halloween series did not have a 'traditional' third installment »

Halloween H20 Director to Return For Halloween 3D?
2 September 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
A former well known man within the Halloween franchise, Steve Miner, may return to direct Halloween 3D - or so the first rumor about the third installment in the freshly rebooted horror series says. Apparently Bloody Disgusting [1] received an e-mail from an actor claiming this, which is pretty much all there is to say about it. For now I'd categorize it as a pretty vague rumor. However, it is an interesting rumor, which wouldn't be too shabby if it was actually true. Miner has an okay track record having previously directed the somewhat decent Halloween H20 back in 1998. But H20 aside, he has also previously directed both Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part III. So even though he has gone downhill since then, he is still the man who made the movies that both created the Jason we know and love, and also gave him his classic hockey mask, »

Rumor: Director Found For Halloween 3D?!
2 September 2009 12:54 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Late in the weekend, The Weinstein Company announced it's intentions to continue the Halloween franchise with Halloween 3D. And not only would they be aiming to get a 3D Michael Myers movie in theaters by next summer, but it'll be a different take from what Rob Zombie had established with his 2 Halloween flicks. In that last post, it was hinted that "the studio was in negotiations with a new director, who has experience in horror." Rumor going round through all the other horror outlets is that it may be Steve Miner.
Steve Miner is no stranger to the genre, nor to Michael Myers. He directed Halloween: 20 Years Later aka H20 starring Jamie Lee Curtis. His other genre credits include the recent Day Of The Dead remake, Friday The 13th Part 2 and Lake Placid. Hell, he's got 3D experience having also directed Friday The 13th Part 3.

Rumor: Steve Miner Returning to Direct Halloween 3D in 2010?
1 September 2009 1:56 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
So here's the deal. Over the weekend, the La Times reported that The Weinstein Company was already starting development on another sequel to the Halloween series for the summer of 2010 that would be titled Halloween 3D. Even though the most recent Halloween 2 made $16 million over the weekend, apparently everyone hated it, mainly because Rob Zombie did some ridiculous things with it (here's a good 2/10 review). Now Bloody-Disgusting adds another detail into the mix - they got an email this morning claiming that Steve Miner would be returning for the sequel instead of Rob Zombie - which is actually great news. Miner is an "old school" horror director responsible for Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part 3, Halloween H20, and Lake Placid back in 1999, but has most recently been directing TV shows and straight-to-dvd crap like Jessica Simpson's Major Movie Star. From what I hear, though, »

Weinsteins Going Back To Former Halloween Director For Halloween 3D?
1 September 2009 12:48 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Yesterday a tipster started letterbombing the inboxes of horror editors with an unconfirmed bit of news about a director for Halloween 3D, essentially replacing Rob Zombie, who'll be moving on to The Blob and hopefully Tyrannosaurus Rex. The news isn't even 'news' yet, as it remains speculative. But it's an interesting idea, as the director is someone who has experience with the Halloween fanchise already, and has also had a hand in both 3D and another long-running horror series. The name, after the break... The first time Dimension revived the Halloween franchise, with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (meant to be a sequel to the original Halloween II, ignoring the films that came after), the company turned to Steve Miner. He'd previously been allied with a rival franchise, directing Friday the 13th Part II and Friday the 13th Part III, the latter in 3D That being the case, he's more »

Halloween 3-D May Have a Director
1 September 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
When the Weinstein Co. announced Halloween 3-D, they said they were negotiating with an experienced horror director, but didn't reference the director by name. According to Bloody-Disgusting, that unnamed director could likely be Steve Miner, the director of Halloween: H2O and Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3.
The Weinstein Co. promised a director for Halloween 3-D that would provide a "different take" on the series, which is not what Miner is famous for, but The Weinstein Co.'s "different take" could just mean "something other than what Rob Zombie did in Halloween II."
Until the Weinstein Co. or Dimension Films confirms the hiring, Miner is merely a rumor, but considering Miner's experience with slasher movies, including making them in 3-D, as he did with Friday the 13th Part 3, Miner certainly seems like a solid choice who could bring some stability to a growing, rebooted horror franchise.
