The Hole

Horror has always dominated the American Film Market and 2009 was no exception. And while there was a considerable shortage of titles this year, the overall quality was a huge step up from previous AFMs. I guess there’s something to be said for the lack of over-saturation.

Color us disappointed. The one-sheet for Joe Dante's The Hole broke out yesterday, and for all the wonder and imagination weaved into this project, the poster is about as bland and direct-to-video-ish as they come. See for yourself.

Why? Why can't we resist making ass jokes when it comes to this movie? At times it's as if we have the mentality of a thirteen-year-old! Sigh. In any event, MovieSet just published some nifty behind-the-scenes stuff concerning Dante's latest.

Nope, we're not talking about the blown-up results from a prostate exam; we're referring to some new art for Joe Dante's upcoming supernatural thriller The Hole. You people have such dirty, tasteless minds. That's why we love you so.

Although Cannes, Toronto, and a few other film fests garner the lion's share of media attention, the Venice International Film Festival is certainly no slouch, as evidenced by the fact that it's just about to celebrate its 66th anniversary. The fest's line-up was announced today, and we're happy to report that quite a few genre offerings were included, both in and out of competition.

Tonight horror fans got the rare chance to relive their childhood at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, which hosted a Joe Dante double feature of his 1984 creature feature masterpiece Gremlins that was followed up with his 1990 sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

There's nothing like having Joe Dante back doing what he does best: making horror flicks that we absolutely fall in love with! At this year's AFM not one, but two, posters debuted for his soon to be in production 3D feature, The Hole!

Casting is already going down for Joe Dante’s upcoming 3D supernatural thriller, The Hole, which you may recall Dante said he’ll be tackling next before possibly moving on to Bat Out of Hell.

Looks like Joe Dante may be moving on from the Drew McWeeney/Scott Swan feature Bat Out of Hell according to a new video blog posted on This is Some Scene. He doesn’t explain why he may not be attached to the vampires on a plane film, but he did confirm that he's getting ready to shoot The Hole.
