Warning: 'Live Girls' Might Make You a Vampire

Filed under: Horror », Thrillers », Casting », RumorMonger »

You know, if I were an immortal creature of the night, I probably wouldn't be working in a strip club. But seriously, if you were all powerful, would you bother having a day job? Let alone one that has you spending your evenings fighting off 'pole chafing'. Oh well, I guess I've been watching vampire movies long enough to recognize the honored tradition of the stripping undead. The latest contribution, according to Horror Movies.ca, will star Ray Winstone (Beowulf) and go by the name of Live Girls.

Rob Green is set to direct the story of a married man (Winstone) who begins to frequent a strip club and becomes obsessed with the lead dancer, Anya. As to be expected, these ladies are little more blood sucking than you would normally find in your average peeler bar, and our hero begins to find himself changing in unexpected ways. When he returns with another wronged man to uncover the mystery behind this club, it's all fangs and arterial spray from there.

But before you get too excited about Girls, keep in mind that Winstone already has three other projects on the go, and Green is in production on another film. Not to mention that this particular movie hasn't been listed anywhere official for either Green or Winstone. So, stay tuned to Cinematical for any news that comes our way.

Return of the Dog Soldiers!

Filed under: Action », Horror », Remakes and Sequels »

I was lucky enough to have a sit-down interview with professional horror wizard Neil Marshall during last January's Sundance, and although we spoke mainly about The Descent, 28 Days Later, Alien, and our favorite '80s slasher flicks, I did remember to ask him about the sequel to his Dog Soldiers. He said that a follow-up or two would happen eventually, that he's not involved in any creative capacity, and that he wishes the new filmmakers well.

So now comes word from Canada's coolest horror site that the long-delayed Dog Soldiers: Fresh Meat just might be getting revved up for production. Stepping in as director will be Rob Green, whom horror-heads might remember from his rather cool WWII chiller The Bunker. Apparently the sequel, which will finally go into production this fall, will cover the further lycanthropic misadventures of Private Cooper, although we're not yet certain if Kevin McKidd will be reprising the role.

Back to Marhsall for a second: He also mentioned to me that his Descent follow-up would be a Road Warrior-style action-adventure de la post-apocalypsia. That flick will be called Doomsday, and, of course, I'm geeked to see how it turns out.
