Fruit's Don't Look Up Redux Gets Cast
March 14th, 2008
It’s been a while since there’s been word on Fruit Chan’s (“Dumplings” segment of Three Extremes) remake of Don’t Look Up, but finally all is in place and the film is set to roll on April 14th in Tinseltown.
Henry Thomas (Dead Birds, Red Velvet), Kevin Corrigan, Lothaire Bluteau, Carmen Chaplin and Reshad Strik are all on board according to Variety. The original Don't Look Up was directed by Hideo Nakata (original Ring), who was being pursued to helm the redux for a while as well. Personally, I’m glad they got Chan; the guy deserves a shot.
Don’t Look Up tells of the unraveling sanity of a director and his crew when ghosts from the past attempt to force their way through to his current production, being shot in an abandoned factory. Originally set to shoot in Romania, thankfully production is now scheduled for L.A.

Fear Fest FolliesThings started off badly. Flights were canceled. Dallas was snowed in. There was so much more to do and no way to get it done. Sometimes it feels as if every force in the universe is aligned against you. But there's a job to get done. Thousands of fans were lining up for a fun weekend, and by hook or by crook they were going to get it. Besides, we had some serious partying to do, and nothing was going to get in the way of that!
Heh... too early in the morning... sorry!

Chan has been directing multi-award winning feature length films for about the past 15 years, with the Dumplings segment of Three Extremes (which was a shortened version of a feature), being his lone short.
