Zombie Contemplating 'The Devil's Rejects 2'

Only thing I liked about The Devil's Rejects was the ending (I'll never listen to "Freebird" the same again). Everything else was ass. But what more would you expect from Rob Zombie?

With Rob Zombie's Gruesome Twosome Tour all said and done, the rocker could be heading back to the director's chair any for any one of variety of films. On the horizon could be The Blob, the second remake about a alien creature that grows after consuming living organisms. There's his badass biker vs wrestler flick Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is being shopped around the town. Another potential project is a feature version of Werewolf Women of the S.S.. The original short was a faux trailer included on the full-length Grindhouse. Rodriguez is releasing his Machete later this year. Then Zombie has a fourth project, one that we didn't know about until today. Zombie asked his readers today on his official blogspot what movie they'd like to see next. All of the above are mentioned alongside The Devil's Rejects Part 2, a sequel to his House of 1,000 Corpses sequel that starred Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon, among many others. So, which would you like to see?

'The Divide' Teaser Trailer

Moved up to my top 5 on most anticipated list. As you know, I can't get enough of apocalyptic movies. This one is directed by Xavier Gens who directed one of my favorite horror flicks, the disturbing french horror movie 'Frontier(s)'.

Plot:
The films include a post-apocalyptic thriller set mostly in an apartment building fallout shelter, a serial-killer thriller about a woman afflicted with "face blindness" and a coming-of-age story about a young girl seeking out her birth mother.

German's character is at the center of the film, set in New York, which is virtually destroyed in a mysterious explosion in the first act. Eight survivors take refuge in the fallout shelter of an apartment building, where they are menaced first by mysterious men in HazMat suits and eventually by each other.

Eli Roth's 'The Last Exorcism' Trailer

WOW! I can't wait. Eli is hit and miss. Looks like HIT!

Plot:
"When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine "exorcism" on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, certain his teenage daughter Nell is possessed by a demon who must be exorcized before their terrifying ordeal ends in unimaginable tragedy.

Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there. Now, too late to turn back, Reverend Marcus’ own beliefs are shaken to the core when he and his crew must find a way to save Nell – and themselves – before it is too late.

THE LAST EXORCISM is written by Huck Botko & Andrew Gurland and directed by Daniel Stamm. Strike Entertainment and STUDIOCANAL present an Arcade Pictures production. "

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" to be Filmed in 3D

[sarcasm] I am SHOCKED! [/end sarcasm]

A lot of the 2011 summer tentpole releases have already been announced as being either filmed in 3D or converted afterwards, but so far, May 2011 has been somewhat devoid of 3D release announcements... until now!

Walt Disney Pictures has announced that the fourth installment of Jerry Bruckheimer's popular action franchise Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, directed by Rob Marshall, will be filmed in Disney Digital 3D. Bruckheimer's only previous 3D movie before that was last year's G-Force.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is still slated for release on May 20, 2011.

Eddie Murphy Writing Third 'Nutty Professor'

Can't stay away from kids movies, eh Eddie? He may be the biggest disappointment in Hollywood history.

Entertainment show Access Hollywood caught up with actor Eddie Murphy at the premiere of his new movie Shrek Forever After and learned that the actor has been developing ideas for a potential third "The Nutty Professor" movie, confirming a story from a few years back.

There's no word whether Universal may have any interest in doing another movie, but according to Murphy, it will depend on whether they find his ideas funny. With The Nutty Professor grossing $273 million worldwide in 1996, and its sequel Nutty Professor II: The Klumps grossing $161 million four years later, a third movie certainly has potential similar to Universal's "Meet the Parents" comedy franchise.

Whether a third movie gets a greenlight may also depend on whether Universal sees Murphy as a bankable comedy star, being that his last two comedies, Meet Dave and Imagine That, bombed, and Murphy's new DreamWorks movie A Thousand Words, his third movie with Norbit director Brian Robbins, has yet to be given a U.S. release date despite having been finished since last October. That movie may just be caught up in the transition of distribution companies from Paramount to Disney, though countries like Argentina, Sweden, Germany and The Netherlands have already booked the movie in early 2011, over a year after its completion.

Well, they move to a another house in this film. And the haunting continues...
