News Bites: ‘Cloverfield’ Toy Returns, Elfman Scores ‘Frankenweenie,’ ‘REC 3’ Website and More!
My browser is literally jam-packed with stories that I need to bring you at some time this morning, a few of which can be lumped into this fresh “News Bites” feature.
First, Entertainment Earth has uncovered a slew of Hasbro Cloverfield 14-Inch Electronic Monster Action Figures that came and went back right before our eyes back in 2008! It features an electronic roar, swappable heads, tiny parasites, and the head of the Statue of Liberty. A city backdrop display is built into the box. Hopefully you’ve got $150 bones saved up.
In a not-so-shocking announcement, it was revealed that Danny Elfman will once again team with Tim Burton to score his stop-motion animated Frankenweenie. Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer all star in the Disney 3-D feature arriving in theaters October 5, 2012.
Filmax has launched the official website for the ow filming REC 3: Genesis, while director Paco Plaza also posted a new behind-the-scenes video on his blog. The action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality.
Still haven’t seen The Human Centipede? What gives? Now you have no excuse as The Dish Network is offering a FREE stream of the Tom Six’s shocker that sets up the forthcoming sequel from Magnet Releasing. In the film a crazy doctor surgically connects three humans into a living, breathing “Human Centipede”.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
