Remakes

Finally some video content out of AFM. My eyes were spinning from sales art and info sheets. A promo trailer for Adam Gierasch's redux of the horror classic Night of the Demons (review here) has surfaced amidst all this madness, and we have got to admit ... the flick is looking good!

The first official still from the Paul Scheuring directed remake of Das Experiment (review), called simply The Experiment, debuted at AFM today, and the only words that come to mind for us are -- Please. Someone. Anyone. Get Adrien Brody a sandwich. Thanks.

Earlier today some shots from Aja's remake of Piranha surfaced at AFM. We figured we'd wait a little while until we had the chance to get you some nice clean images of the goods before we posted them.

Various sites including AICN and HitFlix scored themselves an early look at some truly basass teaser posters for Louis Leterrier's version of the creature-laden classic Clash of the Titans, but as expected, they were yanked. But that hasn't stopped fans from posting and reposting them everywhere.

The first review for Platinum Dunes' A Nightmare on Elm Street redux is now alive and kicking. Good? Bad? It's both a little and a lot of both, if that makes any sense. Then again, in Krueger land ... does anything really make sense?

Ask many of today's horror fans if they've ever seen The Asphyx, and you're bound to be met with an odd glance. Nope. Not many people have heard of Peter Newbrook's 1972 classic, but apparently someone remembers because the flick is next on the old remake block.

For those of you out there who missed the first season of UK mini-series "Being Human" on BBC America, make it your business to watch it on demand if you can. The show was a powerhouse of good old fashioned horror that played like a completely supernatural version of "Three's Company" but with tons more bite. Like all good things from overseas ... an American version is now on the way.

Connie Britton, who plays Nancy's mom in Samuel Bayer's re-imagining of the Wes Craven classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, is never one to mince words, and she had some really interesting things to say about the new film. Curious? We know you are.

Breck Eisner's remake of The Crazies is heading to theatres on February 26, 2010, so we can start expecting stills, clips, and more to start leaking out from Overture Films over the next few months. Already one new photo has hit the Net, and it's looking pretty damn crazy!

Despite the company ailing a bit, The Weinstein Co. is still busy readying projects for release next year. Among them are lots of hot horror properties including Scream 4 and remakes of Clive Barker's Hellraiser, Scanners, and An American Werewolf in London. Yes, we've reported on all these before so why bring them up again?

One remake/reboot we both are and aren't looking forward to is Stephen Norrington's upcoming re-envisioning of The Crow. We're glad it's not going the total remake route and is instead focusing on a whole new Crow, but at the same time many fans feel that it couldn't possibly get better than the Brandon Lee version, so what's the point? One thing's for certain: It couldn't possibly get any worse than the three god-awful sequels.

Writer/director/producer Wes Craven can add another item to his long list of accomplishments: mastering the 140-character tweet! Along with providing semi-regular updates on his upcoming project 25/8, he most recently touched upon the progress of Scream 4 via the increasingly ubiquitous Twitter.
