LA Film Festival Premieres ‘The Last Exorcism’, Other Genre Fare
The LA Film Festival has announced its lineup for 2010, and while the venue has changed, they continue to choose quality over quantity when it comes to horror entries. Let The Right One In and Coffin Joe’s Embodiment Of Evil are just some of the films that B-D got to check out for the first time at the festival in years past, and this year is bound to carry on that tradition. The biggest draw is The Last Exorcism (formerly Cotton), which is produced by Eli Roth and directed by Daniel Stamm. The film will have its WORLD PREMIERE at the Gibson Ampitheatre, which is a great venue for a horror flick. The screening comes a full two months before its theatrical debut, so local fans should seize the opportunity to check it out early! Read on for details on Exorcism, as well as a few other horror highlights from this year’s festival.

Post Malone Teams With Platinum Dunes & Vault Comics to Create ‘Fury Road’ Meets ‘Evil Dead’ Movie
Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.
What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.
The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…
The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”
“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.
“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”
“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
