Next up we have an official Poster and Myspace Page for the upcoming kickass documentary HIS NAME WAS JASON. Check it out!
And here’s a fresh still from the new flick from JT Petty, THE BURROWERS showing a bit of one of the monsters (though, if you ask me, it looks a bit like mongoloid Jason Voorhees trapped in quicksand)
What else, ah yes, we have a Wendigo flick comin’ out pretty soon headlining Superman himself, Dean Cain, called MANEATER. Fangoria got their mits on a pic of the monster. Click the Pic for more information and more pics.
Seems as though Guillermo del Toro is owned by the Hobbit for the next billion years, but Variety reports that he’s still in talks with Universal about releasing his definitive vision of HP Lovecraft’s AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, and if you haven’t read Lovecraft, Fuck You.
Last up is a little youtube fan flick that I found hilarious. It was featured on SHOCK TILL YOU DROP and showcases the GREMLINS invading various other movies such as The Exorcist, Batman, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, etc. Cool as hell and done really well, so check it out!
Found some nice, new, bloody goodies for the upcoming film My Name Is Bruce, staring the Backwoods Horror fave: Bruce Campbell. For a reminder on what the flick’s about, I first reported on it here.
The boys over at Shock TIll You Drop got their hands on a pic of the new, official poster for the film. Check it out: Pretty Cool. But to top that, the boys over at Bloody Disgusting provided us with a brand spankin’ new trailer. Friggin’ Sweet! Check it out:
Can’t wait to see it! I believe it’s supposed to be hitting theaters this November. If it comes to a town near you, do us all a favor, WATCH IT! With any luck, there’ll be a sequel.
As you may or may not know, I’m a big fan of Bruce Campbell, so when I first heard about the idea and synopsis behind My Name Is Bruce, I was stoked. The synopsis on Bruce’s Website states:
“My Name is Bruce is the heroic struggle of a small mining town (Gold Lick, Oregon) to rid itself of a vengeful monster. Guan-di (Jamie Peck), the Chinese god of war and protector of the dead, has been unleashed by cemetery desecrating teenagers to protect the graves of Chinese miners lost in a deadly cave-in of yesteryear.
The deadly demon’s mission is to eradicate all those who transgressed against the tomb (relatives included), which is virtually the entire population of Gold Lick. The inbred community has to find a solution so Jeff (Taylor Sharpe), the sole survivor of a deadly Guan-Di encounter, takes it upon himself to kidnap his idol, Bruce Campbell (Bruce Campbell), star of countless B-movie horror films, and recruit him to be their local savior.
Mortified at first, Bruce eventually goes along with Jeff’s prank, convinced that it’s all an elaborate birthday present from his agent (Ted Raimi), and begins to enjoy the spoils of being a movie hero, including free liquor and Jeff’s attractive mother, Kelly (Grace Thorsen) very afraid.
But Jeff’s scheme goes horribly wrong when his hero, known more for fighting directors than mythical warriors, haphazardly leads the town in battle against Guan-Di. Confronted by a monster that’s not a guy in a rubber suit, and with the blood of innocents on his hands, Bruce abandons the harsh reality of Gold Lick for the sanctity of his former, artificial life.
In his ramshackle desert trailer, Bruce resumes the daily grind of genre sequels, poor housekeeping and cheap whiskey, but a gut-wrenching call from his biggest fan, Jeff - now forced to take on Guan-Di alone - prompts the actor to re-evaluate his destiny.
Against his better judgment (and the angry citizens of Gold Lick), Bruce returns to defeat Guan-Di, save Jeff, and snag his hot mother. In the climactic, mano-a-monster, Bruce tries to rise above the miserable, off-screen schmuck that he is and become a hero…in real life.
Be afraid, Gold Lick – be very afraid.”
Hilarious! Fangoria has an interview up with Bruce where he talks a little more about My Name Is Bruce. The movie is planned to be released October 2008 theatrically with a dvd release set for January 2009. Can’t wait.
