Above we’ve discovered the trailer for Garrett Brawith’s directorial debut FDR: American Badass, which stars Barry Bostwick, Lin Shaye, Kevin Sorbo, William Mapother & Paul Ben-Victor. It’ll arrive on home video September 25.

The pic “follows Franklin D. Roosevelt (Bostwick) as a badass werewolf hunter tracking down the like of Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito in his customized wheelchair of death. This isn’t the FDR you know, this guy’s got lip, and will punch you in yours.”

Penned by lowbrow comedy writer Ross Patterson, shooting took place last December in Los Angeles.

This feels like an attempt to cash in on the recent popularity of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. READ MORE

We first reported on Megaspider when we got a look at some sales art out of AFM. But now, a much preferable official poster has started making the rounds. It’s pretty cool in that “one or two notches above The Asylum” kind of way, which I honestly mean as a compliment. Director Mike Mendez describes his film as “a ‘Tremors’ styles creature feature“, which could be pretty cool if done correctly.

In the film, “A 50 feet tall alien spider escapes from a military lab and rampage the city of Detroit. When a massive military strike fails, it is up to a team of scientists and one clever exterminator to kill the creature before the city is destroyed.”

Megaspider is directed by Mike Mendez and stars Greg Grunberg, Lombardo Boyar, Clare Kramer, Ray Wise, Patrick Bauchau, Lin Shaye.

Head inside to take a look at the poster and a still from the film. Then head over to Undead Backbrain for their extensive spider-themed article that has quite a few more looks at the film. READ MORE

“Little Barrett Tanner, they put him in the ground, and when they did, he didn’t know, he never would be found.”

Already in post production is Jeepers Creepers director Victor Salva’s Rosewood Lane, which is being sold at the forthcoming Cannes market.

Details were slim during production, but we’ve finally got our hands on the cast: Rose McGowan, Ray Wise, Lin Shaye, Lauren Vélez, Lesley-Anne Down, Bill Fagerbakke, Rance Howard, Judson Mills, Steve Tom, Ashton Moio, Sonny Marinelli, Tom Tarantini, Christopher Gehrman, Mark Irvingsen and Deanna Lynn Walsh.

To top that, we even scored the first batch of images! Click the still below for the entire gallery.

“Radio talk show therapist, Sonny Blake, moves back to her childhood home after her alcoholic father dies. Upon her return to the old neighborhood, Sonny discovers her neighbors are terrified of the local paperboy.

She thinks this is ridiculous, until she encounters the boy herself, and learns the hard way that he is a cunning and dangerous sociopath. One who may have killed her father, and several others.

When the boy starts to call Sonny’s radio show, reciting eerie nursery rhymes, an unnerving game of cat-and-mouse begins, which makes Sonny doubt her own sanity.

As the game escalates, she suddenly finds herself in a terrifying, all-out war that forces her to redefine her ideas of good and evil, and has her fighting to stay alive.”
