Rob Zombie is in Britain for his first UK tour since the 1990s. Empire was at the awesome Manchester gig (it was, as the man himself says “a lovely party”!) so we thought we’d be remiss not to see what we could find out about Zombie’s upcoming horror opus The Lords of Salem.
Shooting starts, if all goes to plan, on April 18th, as soon as he gets home from the tour. He’ll then go back out on the rock festival circuit for the summer, edit in the autumn, and expects a release in early 2012.

From io9 – an interview with Grant Morrison:
io9 caught up with Batman and Robin scribe Grant Morrison and asked him about his upcoming miniseries The Return of Bruce Wayne. Grant also filled us in on the We3 movie, Joe The Barbarian, and his take on comic continuity.
In Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, we’re going to see Batman travel to different historical epochs. For example, we’ll see Pirate Batman and Caveman Batman, who appeared in old-school Bat-yarns. What was your motivation for this and what was DC’s reaction when you pitched it?
Grant Morrison: First off, Batman also wore a kilt at one point! As for DC, they said, “OK, if anyone can do, it’s you.” I guess my inspiration is this – I like to pretend that every story that ever happened to Batman was real and is part of this one guy’s life. Even the Adam West Batman – let’s just say there’s this one year where Batman and Robin were out living this crazy and kooky life, and while the criminals were out killing people, they were just acting like lunatics.
The next year might be the Neal Adams Batman – suddenly Robin’s gone and we have a more brooding Batman.We’ve seen his origin scene a thousand times, we’ve seen his parents getting killed – I thought to myself, “What part of Batman’s life haven’t we talked about for a long time?” And it was those weird 1950s adventures or the Adam West Batman that everyone thought was really uncool when Chris Nolan’s movies came along. Batman comics used to be brightly colored! Batman would fight aliens! I wanted to do that stuff again, but in a more realistic, contemporary light.

From Fear.NET: Shutter Island opens this Friday, and a lof of folks are probably wondering how director Martin Scorsese — who's tackled all kinds of film genres in his forty-plus year career — will handle a traditional thriller. Having seen the film, I can say that despite what its trailer promises, it's pretty far from traditional, but still terrific; and it wears its genre influences proudly on its sleeve. (In fact, with apologies to The Departed, I think the film is probably Scorses's best since Casino.) Of course, the Oscar-winning filmmaker isn't exactly a stranger to our neck of the woods. His Cape Fear was a pretty straightforward excursion into terror, and, upon close inspection, his entire oeuvre is littered with moments scarier than what's offered by most of today's horror movies. So in honor of Shutter Island, we here at FEARnet present the twelve Scariest Moments in Martin Scorsese Movies. Why only twelve, instead of the more frightening number that follows it? Because you, dear reader, are hereby invited to vote for your own after you watch Shutter Island this weekend. Its bound to give you a few chilling ideas.
