Sep 25 2009 More Screams and Spy Children En Route

I've always said, give David Arquette enough time, he'll eventually find a reason to get himself out of bed. And this spring, looks like he'll have one: Bob Weinstein has revealed that, to fight waning elongated-white-mask sales, Dimension Films will begin production on Scream 4 in April or May. Series regulars Wes Craven, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox are all not doing that much besides being in Cougar Town/watching Cougar Town, and are expected to return to kick off a new rapidly-declining trilogy.

Weinstein also announced Robert Rodriguez is working on a new Spy Kids movie to be shot in 3-D, thus rendering Spy Kids 3-D not that special anymore. Additionally, the studio hopes to have a Halloween 3-D ready by next year's holiday that the film is most appropriate for, and Weinstein confirmed plans for remakes of Children of the Corn, Short Circuit, and American Werewolf in London and 3-D sequels to Hellraiser and Scanners.

Sounds like if you're the kind of person who wants to put on annoying glasses and watch a piece-of-shit remake/sequel, Dimension is the studio looking out for you.

Oct 31 2008 Wes Craven's 'Google'

If you've keyed in dub-dub-dub dot google dot com today, you may have noticed a specialized logo in celebration of Halloween. That's standard for the internet searcher thing, but what you may not have noticed unless you moused-over the image is that it was designed by Wes Craven, director of such horror classics as A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Hills Have Eyes. Man, would you look at that spooky thing? Got like a jack-o-lantern there, a pumpkin carving knife, a standard knife, some kind of poking apparatus maybe, what i think is a dustpan, a candle. Phew. I think we can all see why this man is considered a legend of horror. I'm going to be having nightmares about carefully sweeping up seeds and discarded pumpkin bits for weeks.
