The Evil Dead Reboot Still On

Fans of The Evil Dead franchise have been waiting on news about the future of the franchise. There have been rumors of whether or not there would be a sequel, prequel, remake or reboot of the series for years but no answers. Producer Rob Tapert recently said about a reboot:

It’s possible; we’re looking at a script this month. What’s interesting about ‘Evil Dead’ is very few people saw it in the format we made it for, which is for the theater. … I think Sam wants to embrace the ultimate experience in grueling terror and see it remade for a proper theatrical experience.

What do you think?

Kate Hudson and James Franco In A New Linda Lovelace Biopic

Where in the world he gets the time I have no idea but James Franco is in talks to play pornographer Chuck Traynor in a biopic of the life of Linda Lovelace, famous for the 70’s porn film Deep Throat. This is not a surprise as the directing team of Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman who directed Franco in Howl.

Kate Hudson has been offered the part of Linda Lovelace, the porn star turned anti-porn advocate.

Lovelace after quitting the pornography business says that Traynor forced her into prostitution and pornography by physical abuse and hypnosis.

There is currently another Lovelace film starring Malin Akerman.

Kevin Smith To Self Distribute Red State

Sunday night was the big premiere for Kevin Smith’s Red State at the Sundance Film Festival. The film is getting mixed reviews but generally seems well liked, but it was what happened after the screening that is making big news.

Kevin Smith held an auction for the distribution rights immediately following the screening of Red State and there was only 1 bid; from Kevin Smith for the amount of $20.00 USD.

Smith will not only distribute the film but he’s taking the film on a road trip, in select cities from March through April.  Smith said Sunday night:

Selling my film would be like having a baby and then selling it to somebody else to raise.

Smith announced that if you can’t afford to pay for the tickets for the road trip, he will still be releasing the film theatrically October 19, 2011.

 

Cast Of Red State To Reunite For Hit Somebody

Kevin Smith recently announced on his Twitter account that most the cast from Red State will be returning for his upcoming Hockey film Hit Somebody.

Hit Somebody is based on the Warren Zevon song and is the story of Buddy McKraken who wants more than anything to be in the NHL, but he isn’t much of a hockey player and is only good at beating people up and being what hockey fans would call a “goon.” Starring as McKraken is Nicholas Braun, the star of Red State.

Below is a screen shot from the end of Red State that as usual with a Kevin Smith film hypes his next movie:

Instantly Smith was asked about Michael Parks, Melissa Leo and John Goodman returning to work with him, Smith responded:

If [Melissa Leo] she’s not too tired from double-fisting awards all year, GOD YES!

If [John Goodman] he’ll have me again. He’d be playing Blue Jay Jennings – Buddy’s first coach.

He’ll [Michael Parks] be playing the French Canadian coach of Buddy’s first pro team

I’m really looking forward to seeing Red State in Radio City and as a hockey fan I cannot wait for Hit Somebody which according to Kevin Smith will be his last film.
