MGM

While MGM's financial troubles are far from over, the studio has issued a statement that provides a brief update on the situation and gives us hope that the rumored "fire sale" has been forestalled and maybe, just maybe, the company won't be going down in flames after all.

You remember the VHS cover: a zombie, clawing its way out of a TV set. And that title? Totally 80’s, totally in blue neon with drippy, gruesome, haunted house lettering: The Video Dead, my friends. Heck it used to be on USA every Saturday growing up, hawked by Rhonda Shear or Commander USA. Well, as you know, it’s not on DVD ... yet.

If the word coming out of Hollywood this evening is correct, we are about to lose a huge piece of cinematic history. MGM, which boasts one of the best known logos in the entertainment business and a library of some 4,000 films, could be placed on the auction block due to its massive $3.7 billion debt.

We all thought we were only a few months away from the February release of the Joss Whedon scripted slasher flick, Cabin in the Woods. Unfortunately MGM has other plans. Looks like we're gonna be shopping for a new horror valentine this year.

Word has broken from MGM about their proposed remake of the classic film Poltergeist. The studio has slated the film for release on November 24, 2010, just in time for Thanksgiving weekend. Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog) is attached to direct.

And a late night slice of goodness rolled into our inbox tonight showcasing not one but three teaser posters for Joss Whedon's latest project ... The Cabin in the Woods.

Who here remembers Roger Corman's classic X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes? Anyone? If you do, you're either an uber-fan like me or well on your way to (or past) middle age. In any event the film is up next for the old remake treatment with a great name attached to direct.

MGM finally let the proverbial cat out of the bag tonight in terms of the casting of the Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's latest film, The Cabin in the Woods, and I have to say things are shaping up quite nicely.

Finally, some casting is going down for Cabin in the Woods, the Drew Goddard/Joss Whedon-penned horror film that Goddard will be making his directorial debut on.

Are you ready to see a great big fat person in high definition? Don’t worry, you’ve got until March 3rd to prepare; that’s when MGM puts Silence of the Lambs out on glorious Blu-ray! Never before have Lecter’s slurping, Clarice’s vacant stare or Buffalo Bill’s wonderfully disturbing dance looked or sounded so good!

The folks at MGM just dropped us a clip from the direct-to-DVD thriller Hit & Run, which is in finer DVD stores everywhere today. The story follows a girl who hits a man with her car, impaling him, and the consequences of the decisions she makes to try and deal with it.

The nice folks over at MGM just sent along the official trailer for their upcoming direct-to-DVD offering Hit and Run. The story is about a college student who thinks she accidentally kills a cat on her way home one night, but instead finds a man’s nearly dead body impaled on the bumper of her Jeep. Easy mistake, happens all the time.

The boys over at DVD Active got a very nice look at the cover for the upcoming Special Edition re-release of Wes Craven’s Last House on the Left.

As is usually the case, a remake of a classic horror film (in this case the one coming up from Rogue) means a special edition of the original will make its way to DVD. In the case of Wes Craven’s Last House on the Left, it’s a long overdue catch up.
