We've been talking about Shawn Levy's telling of the tale of Frankenstein for quite a bit now here on Dread Central, and finally an update has come. It's just not a good one.

Andy Serkis is single-handedly creating a new art form. The man who portrayed Gollum in the Lord of the Rings films, Kong in King Kong ('05) and most recently Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (Blu-ray/DVD review here) has brought CGI performance to a new level.

While we wait to see if Tim Burton does indeed direct a big screen adaptation of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, the name of the screenwriter "in talks" to pen the script should help nudge him in the direction of saying yes. Read on for the details!

In a world where everything just short of the kitchen sink is being remade by Hollywood, you really have to wonder why a major studio would put the kibosh on another remake/sequel from one of the top directors working in the field who actually wants to work on the project. Sadly, that's exactly what has happened.

If there's one thing Tim Burton knows as well as any other filmmakers out there (if not better), it's that anything can be deemed peculiar. That's exactly why he seems like the perfect choice to get behind a big screen adaptation of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

October is known to be a month full of ghoulish surprises, but one that no one saw coming is that Ben Stiller is involved in yet another horror project (the previous being the comedic RentaGhost). This could very well be another sign of the impending Apocalypse.

Let's face it. Being dead has to have its fair share of suckage. Never mind the whole maggots feasting on you thing ... that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

With Hollywood readying several new twists on the legendary tale of Frankenstein, director Shawn Levy recently sat down with website Complex to discuss the script and the direction his take will be going in. Read on!

It's been quite some time since we've gotten an update on Robopocalypse, which Steven Spielberg is directing for DreamWorks, but now it looks like financing is in place, or will be shortly, with Dreamworks and Fox teaming up to co-finance the project.

It's official, kids! Fox has secured a director for its upcoming Frankenstein project, and we've got the skinny for you to chew on right here. Dig it!

With several new Frankenstein projects on the burner, we've been wondering which studio would be first out of the gate with theirs. News has just broken that Fox may find itself in the lead.

And today's lesson ... Sometimes it's better to leave well enough alone. Or at least make damn sure you're in the right! In case you didn't know, a writer has been in litigation with 20th Century Fox, accusing the studio of stealing his script for Alien vs. Predator. Why anyone would want to put his name on that mess is beyond us, but in any event the verdict is in ...

The blockbuster box office surprise of the year, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, continues to kick ass all over the country and - SURPRISE - the sequel chatter has begun.

So, yeah, some more behind-the-scenes Prometheus images have slipped online, and as always if you want to see them, you had better hurry. Fox has been relentless in having these things pulled.
