'Halloween 3D' put on hold for now!

DateWednesday, September 30, 2009 at 12:32AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Not too long ago, Bob Weinstein rushed to announce the Weinstein Co.'s Dimension Films would start development on "Halloween 3-D," with a release planned already for summer 2010. That ain't happening!

According to Nikki Finke, the Weinstein Co. and Dimension put the horror project on hold for now, primarily because things felt too rushed and there just didn't seem to be enough time to get it all together so soon.

DateMonday, September 7, 2009 at 2:55PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

After the release of Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" last weekend, Bob Weinstein rushed to announce the development of "Halloween 3D," which he hope will be ready by summer 2010. Names of potential directors have been thrown around already, but it looks like one guy is in serious talks for the gig.

Nicholas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds

Everybody and everything is going 3D these days, and so is Nicolas Cage, who has signed on to star in "Drive Angry," a 3D action flick Patrick Lussier is set to direct. Nu Image/Millenium Films, the company behind the upcoming "Rambo V," is developing the project.

According to Heat Vision, "Angry" focuses on a man (Cage) who's chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. Lussier and Todd Farmer ("Jason X") wrote the screenplay. They previously collaborated on Lussier's "My Bloody Valentine."

'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' sets U.K. record

DateMonday, January 19, 2009 at 8:41PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Patrick Lussier's remake "My Bloody Valentine 3-D" delivered a strong domestic performance this weekend, but the horror pic also scored big time in the United Kingdom.

Here's what Variety is saying:

"Demonstrating Brit cinema auds growing appetite for 3-D fare, opener 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' ripped off a record-breaking £1 million ($1.45 million) at 86 3-D U.K. screens this weekend, according to Lionsgate U.K.

Going out on all available 3-D screens in Blighty, the pic bested previous top 3-D three-day opener 'Beowulf,' which dragged home $740,000 (£510,000) at 51 3-D wickets."

I went to see the film at 10.25 p.m. Friday, and let me tell you, that screening room was packed and the 3D excitement stretched from the front row all the way to the very back.

Of course, this is an innovative concept. After all, "Bloody" is the first horror pic to open in Real 3D, and the quality of image is fantastic. Okay, I hated the script, but the cool effects really kept me engaged until the very end. Heck, I even didn't mind the countless "whoa" screams from all across the screening room.

'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' web reviews

DateFriday, January 16, 2009 at 7:04PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

How about some blood splatter in 3D? That's exactly what you get in Patrick Lussier's "My Bloody Valentine 3-D," a horror remake about a freak who gets a kick out of killing all kinds of people, etc... Let's check out what some online critics have to say about this 3D event:

• Cinematical's William Goss: "Thank goodness for us, then, that it happens to make for cheesy, corny, gimmicky, gory fun -- if only in its 3-D theatrical presentation."

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "But despite the few tricks it has up its sleeve and its strict adherence to a genre of horror that's been lampooned for years now, My Bloody Valentine 3D doesn't have nearly enough fun with either its jazzy technology or its inherently campy premise."

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' just might be the most honest film of the year. It tells you just what it is in the title alone: a bloody horror movie presented in 3-D. If you're looking for gore or to be thrilled by the latest digital techniques at the cinema look no further."

First 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' clip hits!

DateTuesday, December 30, 2008 at 11:37PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

The folks over at MTV today released a brand-new clip from Patrick Lussier's upcoming remake "My Bloody Valentine 3-D," due in theaters in 3D Jan. 16, 2009.

It's a rather short look at a scene from the movie, but you'll get to see some killing action, so check it out right after the jump.

Starring Jensen Ackles, Jaime King and Kerr Smith, the film focuses on a guy who returns to his hometown years after a bloody Valentine’s Day massacre. But instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders.

Anyway, check it out below and let me know what you think. This will be the first horror pic to be released in Real 3D, so even if the plot sucks, we'll probably see plenty of weird stuff flying into our faces.

Trailer radar: 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D'

DateFriday, October 24, 2008 at 6:55AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Just yesterday we posted a crappy one-sheet for Patrick Lussier's upcoming remake "My Bloody Valentine 3-D," and today, we invite you to check out the first trailer for the 3D event, which hits theaters Jan. 16, 2009.

I hated the poster because it was nothing more than a weak ad for the 3D theatrical experience, and as sorry as I am to say this, the trailer is no different. You can check it out after the jump, but to me it looks pretty crappy as well.

New 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' poster hits

DateThursday, October 23, 2008 at 1:57PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Ugo has your first look at a new poster for Patrick Lussier’s remake “My Bloody Valentine 3-D," which stars Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith and Edi Gatheg.

While I am eager to the first horror film in 3D, this poster just sucks. As you can see below, it tells absolutely us nothing about the movie but simply acts as a weak ad for 3D cinema.

Boo! “Valentine” debuts onscreen Jan. 16, 2009.

First ‘My Bloody Valentine 3-D’ image debuts

DateMonday, October 6, 2008 at 6:29AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Lionsgate recently released the first screenshot from Patrick Lussier’s upcoming horror flick “My Bloody Valentine 3-D,” a remake of the 1981 film of the same title. Check it out just above; it’s quite bloody indeed.

Starring Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith and Edi Gathegi, the film focuses on a guy who returns to his hometown years after a bloody Valentine’s Day massacre. But instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders.

As you can see in the title, the whole thing will arrive in theaters in 3D. People being brutally slashed and blood splattering all over your face - how’s that’s for a 3D experience? The film is set to open Jan. 16, 2009.
