The Reincarnation of Peter Proud
Proud centers on a college professor who begins having recurring dreams and nightmares and, realizing they are images of a past life, decides to search out the source of the visions. With his girlfriend in tow, he discovers a woman and her grown-up daughter who are keys to his past life. The supernatural thriller drew heat for a subplot involving incest.

‘Fight Club’ Director Teams With Eric Powell To Kickstart ‘The Goon’ Animated
Director David Fincher and creator of “The Goon”, Eric Powell, have been trying to get this project off the ground for years. Announced just this morning, they are turning to Kickstarter in an effort to help develop the animated adaptation of “The Goon”.
Test footage for the film was released a few months back at Comic Con International, but the film is far from finished according to Fincher and Powell.

[Blu-ray Review Round-Up] ‘The Hole,’ ‘American Horror Story: Season One,’ ‘The Game,’and ‘Pet Sematary’
October officially starts today, and we’ve got a ton of Blu-ray and DVD horror releases coming our way. With a lot of them being films (or TV shows) a healthy majority of us have already seen, I decided to round-up a bunch of them in this giant article and put more focus on the disc specs rather than the films (and TV show) themselves. Check after the jump for my thoughts on The Hole (10/02/12), American Horror Story: Season One (09/25/12), The Game (09/25/12), and Pet Sematary (10/02/12) Blu-rays. Let us know what you guys think of this new home video review format too. Do you prefer full-length film and disc specs reviews for Blu-rays and DVDs? Or do you just want to know whether the disc content (audio, video, special features) makes the release worth buying?

[Interview] Kristen Connolly On The Beating She Takes In ‘The Cabin In The Woods’, Shooting ‘The Bay’
Joss Whedon (The Avengers, TV’s “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”) and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) co-wrote the magnificent The Cabin In The Woods. Directed by Goddard, the film arrives on Blu-ray Disc (plus Digital Copy), DVD (plus Digital Copy) on September 18th. from Lionsgate. And if you’re feeling impatient (or don’t like discs) it will be available as a digital download – with some extras – this Tuesday, September 4th (iTunes link here).
Last week I hopped on the phone with Kristen Connolly, who plays final girl Dana in the film. We discussed the physical demands of the role, working with Drew Goddard and the differences between Cabin and her work in the upcoming The Bay.
In the film, “A rambunctious group of five college friends steal away for a weekend of debauchery in an isolated country cabin, only to be attacked by horrific supernatural creatures in a night of endless terror and bloodshed. Sound familiar? Just wait. As the teens begin to exhibit standard horror movie behavior, a group of technicians in a control room are scrutinizing, and sometimes even controlling, every move the terrified kids make. With their efforts continually thwarted by the all-powerful eye in the sky, do they have any chance of escape?”

['Alien 3' Revisited] Why It’s Not So Bad And Why Killing Newt And Hicks Is A Good Thing
With the June 8th release of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus fast approaching, we thought we’d take a look back at the original Alien franchise with which it “shares strands of DNA.” Whether or not there are xenomorphs as we know them in Prometheus, it’s abundantly clear that it takes place in the same universe.
In the weeks leading up to the release of that film I’m going to revisit the four films in the Alien franchise (sorry, not going to subject myself to AVP) in order to gather my thoughts in anticipation of the new outing. First up is Alien 3. Considered a disappointment upon its release in 1992, the film underperformed at the box office and left many fans with a bad taste in their mouth. Stories about its troubled production have become the stuff of legend and many people fail to even regard it as part of the filmography of director David Fincher (Zodiac, The Social Network, Se7en, Fight Club). Even I hated the movie, and I was pretty easy to please back then.
I recently took another look at the theatrical cut of the film and discovered, to my great surprise, that it’s not that bad after all. For a film without a finalized script, it gets more right than it does wrong – which is pretty surprising. Head inside for more. READ MORE
David Fincher Updates Both ‘The Goon’ and ‘Black Hole’ Adaptations
Superherohype sat down with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo director David Fincher who updated them on two forthcoming adaptations that have been in development hell for a few years now. First up is Fincher, Blur Studios and Dark Horse Entertainment’s The Goon, based on the Dark Horse Comic’s series by Eric Powell, and set to feature the voices of Clancy Brown and Paul Giamatti. The story follows Goon, a muscle-bound brawler, and his sidekick Franky who claim to be the primary enforcers for the feared mobster Labrazio.
“[Creator] Eric [Powell]‘s been working on it and Tim’s been working on it, and Jeff (Fowler),” he tells the site. “People continue to work on it and refine stuff, but it’s hard for me because I’m in Sweden, so I can’t really make many production meetings, but the attempt is to in January really go out and try and figure out a price that makes sense.”
He also briefly talks about his adaptation of Charles Burns’ award-winning graphic novel Black Hole, which was originally penned by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avery.
“It’s a really great script by Dante Harper, so the hope is that will win out,” he explained. “It’s so weird. It’s so great, because it would be great to see. It’s a very tough… there’s make-up FX and digital FX that are expensive and to do it right, you gotta do it just right, because it has to challenge your idea of the human body.”
The story follows a group of high school students whose lives are altered drastically when they come in contact with a sexually transmitted disease called the “teen plague” or “the bug.” READ MORE
Blu-Ray Review: ‘Alien Anthology’ Limited Edition Comic-Con Egg Collection
The legendary Alien series has always been a jumping-off platform of sorts for up-and-coming directors, with each proving to be a pivotal moment in the career of its helmer. Before 1979, Ridley Scott had primarily directed TV shows and wasn’t exactly looked at as a “visionary.” But after the release of his haunted house in outer space blockbuster, he not only solidified himself as a premiere director (going on to the helm my favorite film of all time, Blade Runner, as well as Thelma And Louise, and Legend), but he also – with the help of H.R. Giger and Moebius – changed the way science fiction films would look for years to come, along with a little film called Star Wars.
