Review: Repo! The Genetic Opera
Filed under: Horror », Music & Musicals », Lionsgate Films », Theatrical Reviews », Fandom », Fantastic Fest »
Repo! The Genetic Opera is tailor-made to attract a fan following in coming years. To an extent, this stage-inspired future-set goth-rock horror musical already has, and its limited release – not to mention a concurrent road-show tour – is fitting for a film unique enough to never worry itself (nor its studio) with a screen count in the triple digits. This is a cult classic in waiting for Hot Topic teens who still believe that Tim Burton directed The Nightmare Before Christmas and won't know who Joan Jett is when she makes an appearance; the emphasis here falls heavily on 'cult' and not so much 'classic'.
Untitled Gehenna Project Offers Thrills and One Heck of a Cast
Filed under: Action », Thrillers », Casting », Scripts », Newsstand »
I dunno... There may be something to this "secret" thing. Just yesterday I wished that Henry Rollins would make the movie rounds again, and I wake up today to find out that he is. However, this is probably more a case of good timing, since I imagine this whole deal was made before my wish. Anyhow, The Hollywood Reporter has listed the cast that are a part of an upcoming action thriller currently called the Untitled Gehenna Project. It's strange, diverse, and kind of irresistible -- Cuba Gooding Jr., Taryn Manning, Ron Perlman, Henry Rollins, Valerie Cruz (The Dresden Files), and Ray Winstone have joined a cast that includes Jason London (the Dazed one, not the mallrat), Franky G (Saw), Zack Ward (Transformers), Stephanie Jacobson (Razor), Bill Moseley (Repo! The Genetic Opera), Sarah Ann Morris (Las Vegas), and Brandon Fobbs (The Wire).The only thing more surprising than that group of actors is what they get to do. It seems that the film is about a group of elite soldiers who are on a covert mission "to retrieve a missing scientist from an undergound lab." Cruz sends them on the mission, and Perlman is the scientist -- so far, so believable. But get this -- the group consists of Gooding, London, G, Ward, and Manning. Yes, Taryn Manning is an elite soldier. While this strange collection of tough guys/girl are on their mission, they happen upon a priestly Rollins, "who tells them that an 'ancient evil' has been released, causing their greatest fears to come to life." (Team him up with Cheech's tough priest in Machete and they'd be an unstoppable force of religious power.) Rounding things out is Winstone, who is the ed-head of the group, and Moseley and Morris, who are part of the research team.
Keith Kjornes wrote the script, and it's going to be directed by Jason Connery, who just happens to be 007 Sean's son. The script sounds like any strange thriller, but man, this cast is weird enough that it could be completely enjoyable, in that pulp sort of way.
Corbin Bernsen to Direct Zombie Film
Filed under: Horror », Casting », Deals »
Probably best known for his performance as divorce attorney Arnie Becker in the hit series L.A. Law which ran from 1986 to 1994 on NBC, Corbin Bernsen is now slated to direct a zombie flick. Variety is reporting that Bernsen will helm Dead Air, the story of a radio station staff trying to warn their Los Angeles area listening audience that zombies are on the loose in the wake of a large explosion. Sort of Night of the Living Dead meets WKRP in Cincinnati, I suppose. Bernsen will play a small role in the film, and the rest of the cast so far includes frequent Rob Zombie collaborator Bill Moseley, and former Babylon 5 star Patricia Tallman, who has experience fighting the undead having starred in the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.
The screenplay has been written by newcomer Kenneth Yakkel, and will be produced by Antibody Films and Corbin Bernsen's Public Media Works. This will be Bernsen's third attempt at directing a feature. He's also no stranger to the horror genre having starred in The Dentist and its sequel The Dentist 2, which I haven't seen, but how hard can it be to make people afraid of dentists? Bernsen's next film set for release is Donna on Demand, a thriller co-starring Adrienne Frantz and Dan Lauria, set for release in September.
Korn Frontman Jonathan Davis To Star In Horror Flick Of Biblical Proportions
Filed under: Horror », Thrillers », Casting », Deals », Fandom », Newsstand »
Rock stars just can't seem to say no when it comes to the acting bug. The sad truth is that rarely do musicians make good actors. Nonetheless, from Bing Crosby to Tupac Shakur, plenty of musicians have made the move to the big screen. Next in line is Jonathan Davis, of the perpetually angry rock band Korn.Blabbermouth.net has reported that the Korn front man has signed to star in the Southern Gothic-horror flick Job. Relative newcomer Jon Grey is at the helm, and the film will begin shooting in Texas this December. Job also stars Bill Moseley of The Devil's Rejects, and will center on a serial killer with a religious obsession. This isn't Davis' first attempt at an acting career; he also had a major role in the horror film Sin-Jin Smythe. It looks like the world will have to wait to see his debut though, as Sin-Jin Smythe has yet to find a release date.
You have to wonder if it is possible to be both a great actor and a great musician -- in Davis's case, the jury is still out on both counts. I can think of plenty who have failed, but which musicians do you think have managed to succeed?

Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong
Filed under: Comedy », Horror », Casting »
Sometimes you hear about the plot of a new movie and you think, "Damn, why didn't I come up with such a simple concept?" -- while other times you find yourself wondering "Who the hell would make a movie THIS stupid?" Both of those thoughts careened through my brain when I saw the cover for Charles Band's next flick, the inevtiably awful but hilariously stupid-looking Evil Bong. Yes, that's right: Someone finally got the smart idea to make a horror movie called Evil Bong.If the name Charles Band sounds familiar, then you're probably a serious movie geek who's also the same approximate age as yours truly. As manager of Empire Pictures / Full Moon, Band littered the '80s & '90s with low-rent fun-trash such as Troll, TerrorVision, Ghoulies, and the endless parade of Puppet Master sequels. These days Chuck is running an outfit that delivers titles like Doll Graveyard, The Gingerdead Man, and ... yes, Evil Bong -- which stars Tim Thomerson, Bill Moseley, and (of course) good ol' Tommy Chong.
I've got a perfect tagline for the flick: "Evil Bong! It'll make you hungry ... for a good movie."
