The CW’s “The 100” has more than earned its reputation for being one of the most brutal shows on television, but nothing hit its audience harder than the moment in Season 3 when Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), just after sleeping with Clarke (Eliza Taylor) for the first time, was killed by accident. The outrage over the show falling prey to the “lesbian death trope” was epic — in a season full of death, Lexa became an icon for how Lgtbq characters and characters of color seem to die an awful lot more than others.
Hence, Comic-Con opened up a potential opportunity for the show’s creators and cast to speak directly to the issue. Except it didn’t happen. Discussion of the ultra-heavy post-apocalyptic drama stayed relatively light during the panel, with moderator Eric Goldman keeping the discussion focused on plot developments for Season 4. The Season 3 highlight reel below teased some of these upcoming obstacles.

Patrick Wilson, star of box-office hit Insidious is reuniting with director James Wan for a deja-vu heavy second go at those pesky demons. Egged on by the promise of more delicious money, those ardent fans of cash New Line have reunited the pair to deliver pretty much the same again by the sound of things in The Conjuring.
This time round though beleaguered demon magnet Wilson and new addition Vera Farmiga are demonologists. Which is lucky, what with all of the demons:
A family encounters demons living among them in their New England farmhouse.
With a script from House of Wax writers Chad and Carey Haynes the film is based upon a real life account (I’m sure to the same extent that Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was) of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren and their visit to a family in the 70’s. Noted for their involvement...

When last we left off with Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, they were recalling how they went from a pair of Dartmouth graduates living in La and sleeping in Bert and Ernie beds to being Michael “Eisner’s Boys” and landing the gig of directing the film adaptation of Judi & Ron Barrett’s children’s book. In part two of this interview, the pair begins by discussing the film’s pre-production and their collaboration process.
“We started with the script: We made out the story on a wipe board and debated that for several months, and then we worked on treatments with the studio and went back and forth with them, draft after draft,” Lord says. “When Chris and I write, we try to alternate and split scenes up. Then we switch and rewrite—to the great annoyance of whoever wrote the original scene.

As you’ve heard by now, either from last week’s “The Good, The Bad and the Wtf” entry or from another source, that Rob Zombie is planning to remake The Blob. The announcement came on the same day as the release of Zombie’s latest film Halloween II—a sequel to a remake of a shambling franchise.
Four years ago, I considered Rob Zombie a visionary talent and a promising filmmaker. Now I’m left wondering what the hell happened. After The Blob, what’s next? Blob II? Then a remake of Sleepaway Camp?
This is the same Rob Zombie who was against this sort of thing earlier in his career, and sought to bring original characters into familiar genres. Sure, his House of 1,000 Corpses cribs a-plenty from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but there’s enough of Zombie’s own colorful vision and wild inventions to separate it from outright cashgrabs like the 2003 remake.

With the recent flurry of news regarding Rob Zombie's upcoming Halloween sequel H2, I was reminded of another project that the man had been working on over for the past few years that just seemed to fall off the radar. No, I'm not talking about Tyrannosaurus Rex, although that does sound intriguing. Back in 2006, Zombie started work on a feature-length animated movie based on his underground comic The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, about a washed up Mexican wrestler in the creepy world of Monsterland. With Paul Giamatti voicing one of the main characters, and well-known artists/animators Mr. Lawrence and Carey Yost co-directing and co-writing, it's surprising that a lot of people don't even know this film exists. A quick search around the web reveals that the movie was actually completed as of late 2008. So why has it not been released yet? In an interview with IGN [1] from a couple of weeks ago,...
