The second day of the Ifp's new United Nations co-sponsored Envision welcomed Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme, who in a morning session discussed his long time engagement with Haiti, the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. The director spoke at length about the pair of documentaries he's made in the country, 1988's Haiti: Dreams of Democracy and 2003's The Agronomist. Clips were shown from the latter film, which chronicles the deceased Haitian radio journalist and human rights activist Jean Dominique, who was assassinated in April of 2000. One of the recurring topics over the course of the two days was the challenge involved in representing the issues of developing countries through local perspectives and not those »

Dream or Nightmare: What Will Become of the Nightmare on Elm Street Remake?

26 April 2009 4:39 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

I was on the Austin, TX set of the Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th last June and, while it wasn't until months later that it was confirmed, I don't think anyone on that set thought that the Platinum Dunes Wouldn't get to do the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. The Dunes triumvirate of executive producer Michael Bay and producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, have been on a rampage through the horror genre since the production company's formation in 2001 and, with the buzz surrounding Friday the 13th, I'm sure I wasn't the only one not surprised when the Dunes deal for A Nightmare on Elm Street was inked in December. They have the principals in place - screenwriter Wesley Strick, director Samuel Bayer, Jackie Earle Haley as the iconic Freddy Krueger and young leads Kyle Gallner and recently announced Rooney Mara as Quentin and Nancy, the »

And the new Freddy Krueger is... Rorschach!

4 April 2009 10:10 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »

No, I'm not kidding. Jackie Earle Haley will jump into the role of Freddy Krueger in New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes' upcoming big-screen reboot of "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

Samuel Bayer will direct the remake from a script by Wesley Strick, whose credits include "Doom," "The Glass House" and "Cape Fear," among others. Variety says "Elm" will start shooting next month, with a release set for April 16, 2010.

So yeah, Haley will play the famous killer who slips into the dreams of teenagers. Robert Englund played the original Freddy Krueger in Wes Craven's 1984 film and its numerous sequels.

Haley, of course, can currently be seen as Rorschach in "Watchmen." He will next star in Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island." Some of his other credits include "Little Children," "Semi-Pro" and "The Bad News Bears." »

Hit And Run (DVD Review)

22 January 2009 10:07 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

From first-time director Enda McCallion comes Hit And Run, a combination of last year’s Stuart Gordon film Stuck and 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer. This attempt at an art-house thriller mixed with psychological horror tries to be too many things at once, and ends up coming across as only average.

The film’s first half seems more like a social commentary, based on the real-life event that has already inspired not only Stuck but a Law And Order episode. Mary, played by Amusement’s Laura Breckinridge, is on her way home after getting drunk at a party when she runs over something. Arriving home, she soon learns that she has in hit a man, Emser (The Last Winter’s Kevin Corrigan), who is still impaled on the grill of her car but very much alive. After an extremely short bout of compassion followed by a longer »
