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….”
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
