Todd Farmer on How ‘Halloween 3D’ Fell Apart, or, How the Weinsteins Waste Everyone’s Time
Oh boy what a treat! I hope you have some free time, and if you don’t, make some immediately. Toff Farmer, the man who had been attached to pen Halloween 3D for Dimension Films, has posted a lengthy blog detailing how Patrick Lussier and himself got attached to the project — and how it all fell apart. It’s just the meat an potatoes, but click here and start reading because it’s pretty f*ckin’ entertaining (they wanted to cast Tom Atkins? Sweet!). I really dug My Bloody Valentine 3D, so it’s a bummer they won’t be bringing Michael Myers to the big screen, but hey, we got Drive Angry going in production! After you’re done reading, start talking about it below.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
