THE RULES OF ZOMBIELAND

How can you survive your trip to Zombieland when it arrives in theaters on October 9? The boys over at UGO have posted a bunch of rules to surviving the zombie outbreak.

In the film Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Rule #6: CAST IRON SKILLET

Rule #12: BOUNTY

Rule #15: BOWLING BALL

Rule #29: THE BUDDY SYSTEM

Rule #33: SWISS ARMY KNIFE

THE BLAIR WITCH RETURNS?

Update: this news apparently comes from the BBC.

In a very vague report at Spanish website Aullidos they writes, “Daniel Myrick, one of the co-directors of Project Blair Witch, talked about Blair Witch Project 3. Has confirmed that the film is a sequel to the first and start where it ends right after this.

In the words of Daniel Myrick “I think there will be some element of video on it, but not be shot with a camera in first person.

There is no source for the interview, so it’s unclear who actually talked to Myrick. Keep this one filed under super-rumor.

MORE BORING BEASTLY PICS

I don’t know what I was expecting from a movie by CBS Films, yet here’s another batch of uber-boring pics from Beastly, arriving in theaters July 30, 2010. Maybe I’m a fool for expecting much from a “Beauty and the Beast” tale? Still, the images are really rich and look really good, I just something interesting was going on. Instead, I get the feeling they’re aiming for the Twilight audience.

Set in Manhattan, the movie tells the story of a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, a curse is placed upon him, turning him into everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell.
