Olivia Wilde

Here’s the Story- It’s The Old West.. where a lone cowboy leads an uprising against a terror from beyond our world. 1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It’s a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky.

Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.

With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

Colin Farrell

From The Hollywood Reporter

Colin Farrell will sink his teeth into “Fright Night,” DreamWorks’ remake of the cult 1985 film that also will see Toni Collette play a mom who falls under his spell.

The two join Anton Yelchin in the new version, which sticks to the original concept of a teen (Yelchin) being convinced that his new neighbor is a vampire, though no one will believe him.

Farrell has the plum role of the vampire, named Jerry, who on the surface appears to be a cool guy but is really preying on the neighborhood. Chris Sarandon played the role in the 1985 pic.

Collette is Yelchin’s mom, who at first disapproves of the new arrival but changes her attitude when she meets the magnetic man and — surprise — doesn’t believe her son when he tries to tell her Jerry is a vampire.

Michael De Luca and Alison R. Rosenzweig are producing “Fright,” which Craig Gillespie is directing. Lloyd Ivan Miller, Michael Gaeta and Josh Bratman are executive producing.  The movie will be released through Disney.

Tera Patrick

By Bob Johnson, XBIZ.com

JAKARTA, Indonesia — The radical Islamic Defenders Front is set to protest the upcoming release of an Indonesian horror movie starring adult superstar Tera Patrick.

The movie — “The Moans of a Virgin Ghost” — is scheduled to be released Oct. 14.

Reports said that the hardline group — aka FPI — will rally thousands of paramilitary units to protest against the Film Censorship Board and the producers, K2K productions.

Habib Salim Alatas, head of the Jakarta chapter of the FPI, said he was unaware that Patrick was in Indonesia to shoot the movie.

“The movie producers have been so underhanded. It makes us stressed,” Alatas said.

He added, “The next time a porn film star lands at Soekarno Hatta airport, we will block them. Nobody told us that the actress had already come and shot the movie in Indonesia.”

The group apparently tried to block porn production in the past but the producers ignored the threats.

“We staged a demonstration against the production house but apparently it didn’t work. They are smarter this time, they did not leak anything about the movie on the Internet or on Twitter,” Alatas said.

It isn’t clear whether Patrick performs hardcore sex in the film, but the film’s producer KK Dheraj said the movie had passed all censorship requirements.

He said it took more than 16 months to convince Patrick to appear in the movie. “The first time she heard the offer was from Indonesia, she was scared. She refused the movie four or five times before she finally agreed,” Dheraj said.

“To have Tera Patrick in the movie was risky. I did the shooting secretly outside of Jakarta, 10 days before the fasting month started. Twenty bodyguards were deployed to guard her from the airport to the hotel room,” Dheraj said, adding that Patrick was no longer in Jakarta.

This wasn’t the first attempt by the group to stop porn production. The FPI successfully protested against Japanese porn actress Miyabi who was set to star in a comedy movie titled “Kidnapping Miyabi,” forcing her to cancel her participation in the film.

Alatas and the FPI’s message to porn stars is to stay out of Indonesia. “We will not stand still,” he said.

It is the year 1215 and the rebel barons of England have forced their despised King John to put his royal seal to the Magna Carta, a noble, seminal document that upheld the rights of free-men. Yet within months of pledging himself to the great charter, the King reneged on his word and assembled a mercenary army on the south coast of England with the intention of bringing the barons and the country back under his tyrannical rule. Barring his way stood the mighty Rochester castle, a place that would become the symbol of the rebel’s momentous struggle for justice and freedom.

Expect a Release Date in 2011

We learned back in March that director-producer duo of Timur Bekmambatov and Tim Burton had ponied up their own money to option film rights to Seth Grahame-Smith’s Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. But beyond that they liked it and wanted to make it badly enough to kick their own money into making it we knew nothing. But things just got a whole lot clearer.

Deadline is reporting that earlier today Fox won a multiple studio bidding war for the project. The script – written by Grahame-Smith himself – is in hand and the plan is to begin shooting the $70 million picture in March. Bekmambetov directs with Burton producing and the axe-wielding president yet to be cast.

Danielle Harris in promotion for Hatchet 2

Danielle Harris

By Ethan Sacks – NY Daily News

 If the screams delivered by actress Danielle Harris in the opening scene of the slasher flick, “Hatchet 2,” which opened Friday, seem incredibly realistic, there’s good reason.

For the sequence in which she’s battling for her life in the waters of a swamp against the film’s undead villain (“Friday the 13th” vet Kane Hodder) Harris was dunked repeatedly in a freezing cold pool of water near the soundstage that doubled for a brackish Louisiana bayou.

“I kept getting pulled out of the water to have the paramedics taking my temperature to make sure making sure I didn’t get hypothermia,” Harris tells the News. “I was only in and out probably every four or five minutes, that was the most I could take at one time.”

It’s just a typical day on the job for Harris, 33, who has been “screaming and crying,” in her words, through dozens of horror movies since she landed the star-making role as Michael Myers’ niece in 1988′s “Halloween 4″ as a ten-year-old.
