Los Angeles: See Carpenter’s ‘Madness’ On The Big Screen!
Back in 2009, the New Beverly in Los Angeles hosted a great double feature of John Carpenter’s The Thing and Prince Of Darkness, which make up 2/3s of Carpenter’s unofficial “Apocalypse Trilogy”. And now, our own BC will host a screening of the “final chapter”, as he presents In The Mouth Of Madness, this Saturday (April 16th) at 11:59 PM.
And since he’s a stickler for tradition, he will be bringing back producer Sandy King (who offered a terrific Q&A for Thing/Prince) for a chat before the film – and if you were there, you know she makes for a hilarious (read: candid!) guest. BC will also have some DVDs to give away and show some fun trailers. All this for a mere 7 bucks, cash at the door or online at Brown Paper Tickets. The New Bev is located at 7165 Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles, CA, 90036, 1.5 blocks west of La Brea, and street parking is widely available (Formosa Ave is your best bet). See you there!
“With the disappearance of hack horror writer Sutter Cane, all Hell is breaking loose…literally! Author Cane, it seems, has a knack for description that really brings his evil creepy-crawlies to life. Insurance investigator John Trent is sent to investigate Cane’s mysterious vanishing act and ends up in the sleepy little East Coast town of Hobb’s End. The fact that this town exists as a figment of Cane’s twisted imagination is only the beginning of Trent’s problems….”
It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.
The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.
We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.
The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.
“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”
The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”
In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.
Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
