Wes Craven’s New Film ‘My Soul to Take’ Plot Revealed (Plus Spoiler Image!)

Wes Craven

Wes Craven has written his first film since New Nightmare and it’s called My Soul to Take. Here are some fresh details on the plot (Spoiler Alert!):

In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer.

Adam “Bug” Heller (Max Thierot) was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his dad’s terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that’s returned, he must face an evil that won’t rest…until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.

Sounds like it will be pretty cool, I’m game. It kind of reminds me of Steven King’s IT, hope its good!

Ok so here’s the real Spoiler part:

So, here’s the image. It might mean very little now, but it’s reputedly quite the spoiler once you know anything of how the story starts to play out. It was originally posted on the MySpace page of stuntman Manny Siverio and then appeared on Bloody Disgusting, who have since removed the page, no doubt playing along with some plot-twist cover up.

It seems a little too co-incidental that they removed the image from the sites, I’m sure this is the killer. Not too scary! He looks like a trucker.

Brad Pitt’s New Movie ‘Vlad’ Isn’t About Vampires After All

Brad PittVlad the Impaler Illustration

A few days ago it was announced that Brad Pitt would be working on a new Dracula remake called Vlad. Turns out it’s more of a historical piece, not a Dracula remake at all!

Turns out that the project isn’t quite what anyone expected. Yes, it’s based on the life of Vlad the Impaler, and yes, it’s intended to be a big, sweeping film with a lot of action. (’In the style of 300‘ keeps being used as a reference.)

But the film is about Vlad the man, rather than an adaptation of Dracula, and won’t touch on vampirism at all.

So says writer, Undeclared and Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam, to EW, as he describes his take.

“As the script stands now, we don’t touch on vampirism. That was my one non-negotiable area when we were developing it, and thankfully, nobody suggested that we should delve into it at the end. But you can clearly see the things that Bram Stoker took…. Vlad was such a brutal man, and the trick is to make him sympathetic”

Also, Brad Pitt isn’t starring in the film as of yet. He’s definitely producing it thought. This sounds like it would be a lot more interesting with the vampirism concept included. Especially with the popularity of vampires nowadays.

Here’s a new Twitter video that Milla Jovovich posted to the web showing off one of sets of her newest film Resident Evil: Afterlife.

The video really doesn’t show a lot, it’s no wonder they allowed her to post it. Just a bunch of planes and equipment, not exactly zombie insanity in action.

New ‘Wolfman’ Poster Shows Off the Full Beast!

The Wolfman

Here’s the latest poster for the upcoming horror remake The Wolfman.

Well this poster certainly puts it all out there, I can’t help but feel like this movie is going to be really bad. I really hope I’m wrong, but in any case I still don’t see any reason for it being made other than simply profit.

A Clear Look at the New Freddy Krueger

Freddy Figurine

Here’s a good look at the new Freddy Krueger.

Figures.com (via ShockTillYouDrop.com) has posted a full look at the new Freddy Krueger from New Line’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, opening in theaters on April 30, 2010. While this is the upcoming NECA figure and not a real photo from the film, it gives you an idea of what’s to come.

He certainly looks a lot more like a serious burn victim than the original version did, certainly more freaky looking. Jackie Earle Haley is going to give this character a whole new level of intimidation.

Neve Campbell Confirms Wes Craven’s ‘Scream 4′ Return

Neve CampbellWes Craven

Neve Campbell essentially confirmed during an interview that Wes Craven is returning to direct Scream 4.

Talking to Black Book Mag, Campbell said “I’m pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Willamson] is definitely writing it…so it is going to be great.”

Though that’s not a definite yes, I’m sure he’s onboard. It’s not like he’s too busy making some other major sequel. Scream is what many people know Wes Craven for, so it only makes sense.

Stephen King Confirms ‘The Shining’ Sequel!

kingshining3

Stephen King has revealed that he is writing a sequel to The Shining!

Last night at Toronto’s packed Canon Theatre, fans of Stephen King were treated to a 15-minute reading from the author’s new novel, Under the Dome, and nearly an hour’s worth of typically funny anecdotes and keen observations during an on-stage interview with director David Cronenberg. Then King dropped a fan bombshell on the crowd by casually describing a novel idea he began working on last summer. Seems King was wondering whatever happened to Danny Torrance of The Shining, who when readers last saw him was recovering from his ordeal at the Overlook Hotel at a resort in Maine with fellow survivors Wendy Torrance and chef Dick Halloran (who dies in the Kubrick film version). King remarked that though he ended his 1977 novel on a positive note, the Overlook was bound to have left young Danny with a lifetime’s worth of emotional scars. What Danny made of those traumatic experiences, and with the psychic powers that saved him from his father at the Overlook, is a question that King believes might make a damn fine sequel.

You know it’s only a matter of time after the book comes out that a feature film will be made. I’m sure King has this in mind not only as a book, but how the the film sequel will work too. I just wonder who they will get to direct it, Stanley Kubrick had some large shoes to fill.

Teaser Trailer for ‘Beastly’ Lands With a Thud

Beastly Image

Here’s the brand new teaser trailer for the upcoming film Beastly.

Not much to be seen here, and it really looks like an episode of a TV show, I guess thats because it’s from CBS Films. Unfortunately teaser doesn’t even intrigue me a little bit, maybe with the full trailer, but I doubt it.

‘The Howling’ Remake Officially On its Way

The Howling Poster (1981)

The Howling is officially being remade and it’s supposed to be out by next Halloween!

“The Howling” is coming back.Indie producers Joel Kastelberg and Moonstone Entertainment’s Etchie Stroh are re-launching the werewolf franchise as “The Howling: Reborn.”

Former studio marketing exec Joe Nimziki, who worked at New Line, MGM and Sony, will make his feature directorial debut from his own script.

Pic’s due to start shooting in February for a Halloween release, with plot details under wraps.

The original “Howling,” directed by Joe Dante from a script by John Sayles, was released in 1981 and spawned six sequels. Dee Wallace-Stone starred as a news anchor stalked by a serial killer who turns out to be a werewolf.

The film is on a fast track to release, to me that indicates that it’s more about the money than the quality. Hopefully it will have the quality somewhat close to the classic original. In either case, horror fans are bound to be excited.

Emily Blunt is Freaked Out on New ‘Wolfman’ Poster

Wolfman Poster

Here’s the newest poster for the upcoming film Wolfman starring Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro.

She looks scared, this movie just doesn’t look very scary. I have huge doubts about this one, I’m expecting it to be bad. Why else would they have pushed it’s release to mid February? Oh well, maybe I’ll be wrong.
