Every so often Jamie Lee Curtis is convinced to return to the Halloween franchise – with mixed results. However, this time there’s a fair amount of interest in the new instalment, not just because of Curtis but because series creator John Carpenter is serving as a creative consultant and David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, All The Real Girls, Stronger) is directing. He also co-wrote the script alongside Danny McBride.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
Master of horror John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema’s current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity).

The movie is due in cinemas on October 12th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Shortly after the Boston Marathon Bombing various people announced they were planning movies based around the tragedy. However, so far none has made it to the screen. One of the movies still working its way through pre-production and may have found a new star, as 
In the last few years it’s felt Al Pacino has been on autopilot, taking on any old movie that will stump up his paycheque and then coasting through the movie while putting in relatively little effort. However it seems he might be showing a bit more spark in 2015 with Danny Collins and Manglehorn.
Back in December it was reported that Sandra Bullock was in talks for the George Clooney produced movie Our Brand Is Crisis. Now she’s officially committed to it and the film has a director, David Gordon Green, according to
