Theatrical Trailers and Clips

• MUTANT CHRONICLES – Red band trailer for MC’s limited theatrical run in the states in April, even though I saw it in a legal Korean DVD shop yesterday.
• GRACE – Clip.  No pick up date yet (that I know of), I’m just hoping.

Studio News and Attachments

• UNDERWORLD, the TV show?
• John August will be writing an adaptation of PREACHER with Sam Mendes set to direct.  I wouldn’t get your hopes up, hardly the first time PREACHER has been fruitlessly in the news.  Then again, it is Mendes tradition to follow up a critical success with a more mass appeal film…
• Now David Arquette is saying SCREAM 4 calls are being made.  Of course he says this to a TMZ papparrazi on inaguration day, so take it how you will.
• Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford join the cast of Whedon/Goddard’s CABIN IN THE WOODS.
• Bill Hader wrote a horror movie for Judd Apatow.  Bill Hader wrote a horror movie for Judd Apatow.  Bill Hader wrote a horror movie for Judd Apatow.

Indie, Foreign and Random News

• IFC picked up Daniel Myric’s aliens in Afghanistan flick THE OBJECTIVE and will be giving the neat, but not mind blowing flick a run OnDemand starting February 4th.
• ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE producer Chad Feehan is going to try his hand at directing a flick called KINDLING.  Should probably finish his producer duties on MANDY LANE first and get out in the Sates already.  Jesus.
