The NRA has kept pretty quiet regarding the recent shootings in Newtown, Connecticut so as to keep attention as far away from them as possible. Now, they’re finally speaking up about the massacre, and in an unsurprising move, they’ve decided to point the blame at violent entertainment, including films, but specifically violent video games. In a press conference held earlier today, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre decided the root of the problem is violent media, saying “there exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people.” He then went on to call out “vicious” video games like Bulletstorm, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat, and Splatterhouse, as well as “blood-soaked slasher films like American Psycho and Natural Born Killers.” More after the break.

Word has it that Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures are putting the finishing touches on Debra Sullivan and Adam Marcus’ (thanks to Shocktillyoudrop for the name corrections) screenplay for Leatherface 3D. We’re told that the plot picks up immediately where Tobe Hooper’s original left off before flashing forward 35 years. There’s buzz of a “cult” involved. Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures acquired the rights to Leatherface once Platinum Dunes and New Line Cinema passed on making a second sequel to the 2003 reboot. Marcus wrote and directed Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
