Director Ridley Scott is preparing to unleash his long rumored and much anticipated follow up to his 1980 space gothic masterpiece – Alien – entitled Prometheus. In a recent interview with IC Press, Scott revealed some of his reasoning behind the new film – which he doesn’t consider a prequel at all.
“When the first ‘Alien’ movie and ‘Blade Runner’ were made, I thought that in the near future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the Tyrell Corporation in ‘Blade Runner’, and Weyland-Yutani in ‘Alien’. They sent the Nostromo spaceship.
The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and is played by Guy Pearce. That’s the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well.“
We had another productive weekend aboard the Mutantville Mothership. Streebo spent most of the week doing fine edits on the assembly of G.H.O.S.T. Friday night, Streebo and Brent had a marathon poster designing session which resulted in the creation of not one – but two new one sheets for SCARECROW AT MIDNIGHT. Sunday, Streebo and composer Alex Maudlin met to discuss the progress on the score for SCARECROW AT MIDNIGHT. The premiere of SCARECROW AT MIDNIGHT is just around the corner.

Meanwhile, in the Horror World:
Rumors abound that there is a sequel in the works for Michele Saovi’s cult classic DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE aka CEMETARY MAN.
Steve Niles’ (writer of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT) take on Frankenstein, WAKE THE DEAD, has been optioned by none other than legendary guitarist Slash!
The most interesting news coming out of Sundance this week is that Kevin Smith (CLERKS, MALLRATS, COP OUT) is taking his horror film – RED STATE – on the road! That’s right, Kevin Smith plans to distribute RED STATE himself – allowing the movie to play in select cities across the nation.
The script to a proposed EVIL DEAD remake is supposedly making the rounds on producer Rob Tapert’s desk.
Saw 3D makes the leap to DVD as SAW: THE FINAL CHAPTER.
Speaking of SAW, the first clip from SAW creator James Wan’s new film INSIDIOUS, has hit the net.

For more information about Godbout Entertainment visit their official website here. For more information on the Myers House NC visit Kenny’s website here.
That’s right, The Crazies is being released on DVD on June 29th, 2010. I’m sure I’ll remember this film for a long time because we (Mutantville) saw it in the theater with the legendary Matthew Ewald.
For the most part I liked it. The camera angles were good. Nice camera movement. Great zombie or infected make up though. It is a remake of the George A. Romero film. You’ll notice on the credits that Romero was an executive producer on the film. The original film came out in 1973. To make the new film period, everyone walks around in bell bottom pants to the disco soundtrack. Ok, none of that last sentence is true.
If you’re thinking about picking it up on DVD, Help us out and get it here. We greatly appreciate the assistance!
With its lurid title and anti-government paranoia, The Crazies bears the stamps of the 1970s original from the start, but it fits our times remarkably well. We’re discovering poison in baby formula from China, so how much of a leap is …
