Although it took over a decade of development hell to get made, Freddy vs Jason finally slashed into theaters in 2003. And fans were hungry for more soon after – especially since the film ended more or less on a tie. New Line Cinema, the production company behind Freddy vs Jason, quickly discussed the potential for making a sequel. And naturally that led them to discuss bringing Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams from the Evil Dead trilogy to appear in what would have been Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash. It went so far that Creative Executive Jeff Katz and Sr. VP…

Andy Muschietti, the director of the upcoming film IT, has announced his desires to redo Stephen King’s Pet Sematary next. Pet Sematary was originally adapted in 1989.

If we can get our hands on that and do the Pet Sematary we want to do, that will be something.…

Actor Christian Bale is often considered one of the most committed and dedicated actors working in Hollywood today. He’s proven time and time again that he’s not only able to disappear into his characters, but physically adapt to the roles as well. Anyone who’s seen him in The Machinist from 2004 knows he was nearly skeletal in appearance, but it’s shocking to see how quick he gained the muscle to play Bruce Wayne in 2005’s Batman Begins. Now we’ll get to see Bale work his magic once again for his next film from director Adam McKay. The biopic will see…

Audiences across the world were ecstatic to see Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees battle one another in 2003. And many had been waiting for a very long time. Since 1993, to be exact. That was the year Jason Goes to Hell made its way into theaters, beginning what should’ve been a new era for the hockey masked slasher. Unfortunately it turned out to be the beginning of the end, albeit with a final tease. The film pulled what movies today like The Avengers do on a seemingly monthly basis. It ends with Freddy breaking free of the Earth’s surface and…

However, it will not show Pennywise as a giant spider like it did in the 1990 miniseries adaptation. Instead, much…

As most fans can imagine, during the adaptation process, many details from any film’s source material will have to be cut. Stephen King’s It is no different, especially considering the novel’s intense length. So intense, in fact, that the story will be getting split into two films. This has led plenty of fans curious about what will be getting cut from either film. Collider got a chance to speak with producer Barbara Muschetti regarding these cut details, including the massacre at Black Spot – a large part of It’s past – and she had this to say: They were able…

The old Pennywise has not been forgotten. While the newest trailer for Andy Muschietti’s It adaptation has been revealed, there’s a small Easter egg in the video for fans of the 1990 miniseries and Tim Curry’s performance. If you’ll look towards the end of the trailer, with all of the creepy clown dolls, you’ll clearly notice one dressed up in the style of Curry’s old outfit. It’s definitely nice to see the old adaptation get some recognition. Though director Andy Muschietti didn’t have super positive comments about the 1990 adaptation: “Most of the people are excited about seeing a good adaptation.…
