The original Chopping Mall was produced by Roger Corman and his wife Julie. It centered around a group of teenagers who become trapped in a shopping mall with killer robots. Killer robots in a mall, what’s not to like?
Robert Hall is a man of many talents: special effects artist, director, musician, and owner of the effects studio, Almost Human Inc. He’s done special effects and make up work on an insane amount of TV shows and films including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Vacancy, The Crazies, Paranormal Activity 2, 3, and 4, and many, many more (just look at his IMDb page). Recently, however, Robert has taken to the directors chair with his films Lightning Bug and his cult hit slasher series Laid to Rest.
Robert Hall took some time away from his signing table at Fan Expo Canada to chat with about his work in special effects, the use of CGI in horror, creating memorable kills, and more. READ MORE
Robert Hall‘s Dry County Entertainment is hanging out at a Chopping Mall, acquiring the remake rights to the ’80s horror title that I literally just watched this past weekend (what are the odds?!)
Hall and producing partner Kevin Bocarde will produce and write. Hall, best known for helming Laid to Rest and it’s sequel, is also coming on to direct, with lensing to begin in spring.
The original Chopping Mall was produced by Roger Corman and his wife Julie. It centered around a group of teenagers who become trapped in a shopping mall with killer robots. Killer robots in a mall, what’s not to like?
Bocarde said the new movie won’t be a straight remake. “It will retain the basic concept of young people trapped in a mall; however, the story will have a darker, supernatural spin,” he explained. Hall noted that he had started in show business at Corman’s studio. “This is an exciting way to pay homage and honor Roger while also expanding the original film’s premise,” he said.
Recent remakes of Corman’s films include the Jason Statham starrer Death Race, last year’s Piranha and the upcoming Piranha 3D. READ MORE
The maniac in the metal mask returns-and this time he’s not alone. After his gruesome encounter with the girl with no name, ChromeSkull has to rely on his assistant Preston, (Brian Austin Green) to take care of business. With a growing taste for bloodlust, Preston slashes his way from one gory mess to another. Not to be outdone, ChromeSkull resurges with a massacre of his own that is nothing short of “jaw dropping insanity!”
Rob Hall’s ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 (set report) is probably one of the most anticipated films of 2011 here at B-D, and today he sent along word that the official DVD/Blu-Ray release date is September 20, with screenings and festival showings beforehand. Image Entertainment will be distributing.
The film will also have a big presence at Texas Frightmare this weekend (April 29 – May 1), including the premiere of brand new footage on Friday night and a panel with Rob, Brian Austin Green, Nick Principie, Thomas Dekker, Angelina Armani, & Mimi Michaels on Saturday at 4 PM. The cast and crew will be giving away and signing the new poster and Chromeskull merch, and a prop will be raffled off too.
“ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 picks up three months after the end of the first film. Tommy (Dekker), who’s struggling with vivid memories of his first encounter with the masked killer, has been abducted by Preston (Green), who harbors a mysterious connection to ChromeSkull (Principe). Meanwhile, the technologically saavy slasher — he videotapes his victims as he’s killing them — has set his sights on Jess (Michaels), and after the young girl disappears, Detective King (Yeoman) races against time to find her and Tommy before it’s too late and try to put an end to ChromeSkull’s blood-soaked legacy.”
