Russell Mulcahy

If you’ve been watching along with MTV’s breakout series “Teen Wolf” this season, then you know how important these last few episodes are to the inaugural run of the show (and if you haven’t, you’ve been missing out).

Director Toby Wilkins may be best known to genre fans as the mastermind behind movies including Splinter and The Grudge 3, but he recently took his career in a new direction and helmed a trio of episodes of MTV’s newest genre show, “Teen Wolf”, and the first of his three episodes kicks off tonight.

Director Russell Mulcahy has enjoyed a successful career in both films and television alike, and he is now combining his love of the horror genre with his love for working in TV with the upcoming MTV series “Teen Wolf”, which is set to debut on June 5th following the MTV Movie Awards (the show will also slide into its regular time slot on June 6th).

More director shifting going on, and sadly this one kind of stings. We've been reporting for a while now that Russell Mulcahy was hard at work to make his shark film Bait 3D a reality, but that's just not to be.

Though great whites usually get all the love in movies about killer sharks, director Russell Mulcahy is looking to remind audiences that tiger sharks are pretty nasty mothers, too, in his new flick Bait 3D.

He gave us Highlander. But he also gave us Highlander 2: The Quickening. He did give us a man-eating boar in Razorback. But he also gave us The Real McCoy. Most recently he gave us Resident Evil: Extinction and soon he will be giving us the 3D shark film Bait. The career of Russell Mulcahy has always had its ups and downs. Would directing a "Teen Wolf" TV pilot for MTV be considered a high or low?

Having recently enjoyed the fantastic "Ozploitation" documentary Not Quite Hollywood for a second time, I've been riding high on a wave of nostalgia for Aussie horror - which is why today's news about director Russell Mulcahy's latest offering has me giddy.

Director Russell Mulcahy is back with a new film on the horizon that promises to be full of bite. Shark bite, that is. All toothy and such, and in -- are you ready? -- 3D! Because you know, no one is making 3D movies anymore so this should be a nice change of pace!

Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis is about to throw himself into the center of another supernatural flick, Grimm, a small town horror story about the disappearance of a teenage girl that kicks off a whole slew of terrifying events.

Russell Mulcahy is no stranger to making movies involving ill-tempered animals. After all, this is the guy that gave us the killer giant boar flick Razorback, unleashed killer birds in Resident Evil: Extinction, and let's not forget he survived working with Alec Baldwin in The Shadow. So with the Piranha remake poised to make 3D killer fish movies all the rage, Mulcahy has signed on to direct the 3D tiger shark flick Bait.

Even though I’m trying really hard not to make a lot out of it, I guess it’s somewhat important for you guys to know that we still have more than a year to wait for Resident Evil: Extinction, the second sequel in the steadily declining franchise.
