The Incredible ‘All The Boys Love Mandy Lane’ Finally Getting A North American Release!!!

Nice! I guess the fact that director Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies is nearing a $100M global take doesn’t hurt things, but All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (read our review) is a damn good movie on its own and is finally going to be legit available to all of our North American readers. That’s right, almost seven years after The Weinstein Company bought the film (and insanely shelved it) it’s finally coming out. READ MORE

Update: ‘The Stepfather’ HD Trailer Now Online

This morning B-D reader Joey M. tipped us off to the trailer for The Stepfather remake, which was directed by Prom Night‘s Nelson McCormick.

What did you guys think of the trailer? I got a kick out of the “America’s Most Wanted” image that looks nothing like Walsh’s character. Screen Gems has slated the pic for release on October 16th, 2009. (more…) READ MORE
