I'm hoping this film brings Prince to public attention. He's like a psychopathic video game villain made flesh.

This is interesting news Nicolas Cage to star in Color Out of Space, the first new fiction film directed by Richard Stanley since Dust Devil (if you discount The Island of Dr Moreau), based on a H.P. Lovecraft tale.

That also makes me want to highlight some of the great work Elijah Wood and his production company SpectreVision are doing at the moment. They were behind Mandy, The Greasy Strangler and even had a go at videogame development Annapurna Pictures-style with that VR game Transference (Transference seems very much in the same vein as Observer, but that is an interesting style to try to follow in the tradition of and try and move into virtual reality)

Upgrade director Leigh Whannell will direct a stand-alone remake of The Invisible Man as Universal bails on the whole extended universe fiasco and hands their classic monster adaptations over to Blumhouse.

Zack Snyder will direct $90 million zombie action film Army of the Dead for Netflix.
"There are no handcuffs on me at all with this one,” Snyder tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview...

"It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware — but not in a wink-to-the-camera way — balls-to-the-wall zombie freakshow that anyone has ever seen. No one’s ever let me completely loose [like this].”

But so what? It's a zombie movie. That trend has well been run into the ground what could he possibly show us that's going to say "this ain't your 2004's zombie movie or 2005 or 2006...." gore and slo-mo. I'd rather see his Fountainhead adaptation at least it'd be something new. "This ain't your daddy's Ayn Rand" cue slo-mo

Color me excited especially since this will likely be the penultimate one.

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously but imdb says that Charles Burnett has a new film in the pipeline, at "announced" status, with the script having been finished: Edwin's Wedding

A new Burnett feature is overdue, even accounting for the usual five year gap between his previous features.

Alexander Payne's next film is horror-comedy The Menu.

A television anthology based on the EC Comic "Weird Fantasy" as well as a feature biopic on EC Comics/Mad Magazine founder William M. Gaines are underway. It would be cool if "Weird Fantasy" is visually/stylistically consistent with its original, wonderfully pulpy 1950s comic book art (the cinematic equivalent to which would probably be Forbidden Planet).

From the co-writer of Green Book comes the sure-to-be classic That's Amore!

I'm really interested in the shady-sounding cabal of private investors who want this thing to be realized.

Patti Amore sounds like a fake name someone on Twitter would make up to mock a project like this

And yet the film’s not called Pat’s Amore!. Oscar-worthy screenwriter my rear.

That’s Amore! is a musical romantic comedy about a 40-year-old bachelor who thinks his best years are behind him and who is resigned to working in his family’s pizza restaurant. That is, until he meets Patti Amore, a shy and introverted loner with an overprotective father and a dark secret in her past. The two emotionally damaged people enter into a relationship.
I don't know folks this sounds pretty badass to me and I'm sure in no way will it reinforce any stereotypes about Italians.

Is the "dark secret in her past" that she's an Academy member who voted for Green Book?
