New ‘Red Riding Hood’ Imagery Takes You to Grandma’s House
Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke takes a fresh stab at the werewolf genre with Red Riding Hood, the Warner Bros. horror drama starring Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons, Julie Christie, Gary Oldman, Michael Hogan, Lukas Haas and Virginia Madsen. Arriving in theaters March 11, we now got our hands on a brand new batch of leaked imagery featuring your first look at “grandma’s house”.

Best & Worst of ’10: RYAN DALEY’S TOP 10 OF 2010
I relish my role as a DVD critic for B-D, especially as a guy who has grown estranged from the once-relished movie theater experience. I deeply respect Mr. D for braving a tweener-packed Twilight screening in order to secure an early review, but these days I’d rather review a movie from the sanctity of my own sofa in a completely empty house. It’s the only way to truly immerse myself in a film. And I know that I’m not alone. There are others out there, silent rebels that have angrily disavowed movie theaters and their obnoxious distractions. And this list of the best horror DVDs of 2010 is dedicated to you, my fellow theater-hating couch potatoes. (Once again, this is a list of DVDs, not theatrical releases. So please try to refrain from giving me shit in the comments for neglecting Let Me In, Buried, or other movies that won’t receive a DVD release until 2011.) (more…) READ MORE
Best & Worst of 2010: The Year’s Worst One Sheets
The task of selling a film is probably much, much harder than any of us realize, which is why posters meant to stir up excitement for upcoming releases are often so badly calculated. 2010 has been no exception, with a large number of god-awful (or just plain boring) one-sheets cluttering up the lobbies of multiplexes all across the country. Here’s B-D’s list of the worst offenders from the past year. (more…) READ MORE
‘Twilight’ Revisited in ‘Red Riding Hood’ Teaser Trailer, Poster Debut
I’ve always been a fan of Catherine Hardwicke. I loved Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown, and I even thought Twilight was passable. But when she announced she’d be tackling Red Riding Hood for Warner Bros. Pictures, I expected her to shy away from the Twilight-esque drama and show us what she can do without Summit Entertainment producers barking in her ear. Apple.com premiered the trailer for the David Leslie Johnson (Orphan) penned story that looks like nothing more than Twilight with the lead love interest being a werewolf. Wait, that’s kind of the plot of New Moon, right? Anyways, the footage looks great, and I love Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez and Gary Oldman, so maybe there’s something to this modern day “Little Red Riding Hood” tale arriving in theaters March 11? Check out the footage, poster premiere and synopsis inside. Tell us what YOU think. (more…) READ MORE
Horror In Your House’s ‘Tormented’ Selection
Anchor Bay leads a nice week of releases with The Evil Dead on Blu-ray. Sure, you have a few versions sitting around, but you don’t have it in the crystal clarity that is Blu-ray, yet. Troma makes a welcome appearance as well, releasing Dead Eyes Open and the aptly named heavy metal horror flick, Heavy Mental. Other notables include releases from IFC Films, The Red Riding trilogy on Blu-ray/DVD and the British Horror/Comedy, Tormented. I will be dropping some cash on Tuesday, will you? (more…) READ MORE

Update: ‘Texas Chainsaw’ Director Thanks the Gods for Possible ‘Clash’ Directing Gig
Update: Dan Mazeau, who worked for Warners on “The Flash”, is being paired with David Leslie Johnson, writer of “The Girl with the Red Riding Hood,” the studio’s horror thriller starring Amanda Seyfried that is in pre-production, to write “Clash of the Titans 2.”” With the fake 3-D remake of Clash of the Titans nearing $500 million worldwide at the box office, Warner Bros. Pictures is fast-tracking a sequel with plans on shooting as early at January, reports the LA Times. It was already revealed that Louis Leterrier would not be returning to the director’s chair (thank the Gods (pun intended)), not the LA Times is writing that the frontrunner replacement is none other than Jonathan Liebesman, the man behind Darkness Falls, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and the forthcoming Battle: Los Angeles. Shooting in early 2011 is also a priority because the studio needs to make sure star Sam Worthington, who is committed to shoot Avatar 2 (likely later in the year), is free and clear. Hopefully they actually shoot it in 3-D this time (or not at all). (more…) READ MORE
