[Interview] Director Jonathan Levine On Eating Brains And Melting Hearts In ‘Warm Bodies’
Summit Entertainment releases All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and 50/50 director Jonathan Levine‘s Warm Bodies (check out Part One and Part Two of my set visit) tomorrow, February 1st (actually, it’s technically out at 10PM tonight if you’re so inclined).
I recently had a chance to catch up with Levine after seeing the film (which I really liked). We talked about his take on the zombie allegory, shooting an NC-17 level of gore for a PG-13 film and using horror as a forum to revisit the John Hughes template of emotions.
The film “is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human – setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.”
Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, John Malkovich and Analeigh Tipton all star. Head inside for the interview! READ MORE

Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin (No Country For Old men, Gangster Squad) has been cast as “Dwight” in the Frank Miller/Robert Rodriguez-directed Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Takes Big Role In ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’!
Surprise! Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper, 50/50) will be taking a lead role in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Per Deadline he will “play the role of Johnny, a part that the filmmakers originally offered to Johnny Depp. He’s one of the core characters in overlapping story lines…” I kind of hope they change his name to “Joey” or something so we won’t always be reminded that he wasn’t the first choice for the part.

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Remake Taps “Glee” Producer, Star Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
Update: THR writes that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (pictured inside; Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) is in talks to play Seymour, the nerdy florist who is forced to feed the beast in order to keep his fame and popularity rising.
Variety “Glee” co-producer is in early negotiations to write a new version of Little Shop of Horrors for Warner Bros. and producer Marc Platt (Drive).
Roger Corman directed the original 1960 pic, while WB released Frank Oz’s incredible 1986 remake, which starred Rick Moranis, Steve Martin and Ellen Greene.
A versatile scribe who is active in film, TV, theater and comicbooks, Aguirre-Sacasa was recently hired by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire banner to adapt Megan Shepherd’s upcoming young adult novel “Madman’s Daughter.” He rewrote the book for the Broadway show “Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark” and has been widely credited with making the show a success. He also penned the script for MGM/Screen Gems’ remake of Carrie, based on the Stephen King novel.
While on the surface you may be grimacing, this is some great news for those who want to see another musical version of Audrey II. Getting someone involved in “Glee” is a no-brainer, but hopefully it won’t come off as staged and ridiculous as that over-hyped feel good series. READ MORE

Grief stricken by the loss of TJ’s mother in a car accident, Paul can’t muster the strength to evict the strange squatter and soon the long-haired, tattooed Hesher becomes a fixture in the household.
