Studio News and Attachments
- Fox Atomic Dies – Fox Atomic is, in all likelihood, getting folded back in to 20th Century Fox. How this alters plans for JENNIFER’S BODY or the hypothetical 28 MONTHS LATER is unclear.
- OFFSPRING – Ghost House Pictures picks up Jack Ketchum’s OFFSPRING, joins already acquired THE CHILDREN and SEVENTH MOON.
- DRAG ME TO HELL – Looks like Ghost House opted to release the PG-13 variant. Don’t blame ‘em.
- ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE – Has a US theatrical date of July 17th, which is 361 days after the film’s release on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK; oh, and those discs are only $8 and $15, respectively. Despite having a region listing on the back, my Blu of MANDY LANE plays just fine in a PS3. This wait is ridiculous.

- SPLICE – Senator must be on a PR kick as they also slipped Bloody-Disgusting some photos from the upcoming Vincenzo Natali directed chimera-horror flick. Pics look great, though if one commenter is to believed, the script is awful.
- REPOSSESSION MAMBO – The Jude Law starring sci-fi tale of borrowed organs gets an R rating.
Remakes
- FRIDAY THE 13TH 2 – How does BD surmise the headline, “FRIDAY THE 13TH Sequel Officially Announced” and then link to a source article that clearly states, “Insiders caution that there is no green light”. We all know there is going to be a F132, but man, let’s wait until that “officially” means the same thing the dictionary says it does.
- THE BIRDS – According to Brenna Roth, who is in talks for a role in the Platinum Dunes recash, THE BIRDS will be shot in 3-D.
