Lionsgate Gets High Concept With Comedy Slasher ‘You’ll Be The Death Of Me’
Am I showing my hacky side when I say that I actually look forward to movies like You’ll Be The Death Of Me? The concept is simple and fun, and if done right could be a pitch-perfect slasher. Of course, things are rarely done right and I’m usually disappointed with how movies like this turn out, but it’s always better to hope, right?
Anyway, Lionsgate/Summit bought the slasher comedy from Mark Hammer (Two Night Stand) and will be producing the movie alongside Mandeville Films (Warm Bodies).
In the film, “Nothing can spoil falling in love in New York City, but a masked knife-wielding psychopath hell bent on keeping you single can certainly make falling in love more difficult.“

[Special Feature] Becoming A Zombie On The Set Of ‘Warm Bodies’… PART TWO!
In theaters February 1 from Summit Entertainment is Warm Bodies, a new kind of zombie film from All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and 50/50 director Jonathan Levine.
Starring Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, John Malkovich and Analeigh Tipton, “The story centers on an existentially tormented zombie who begins an unlikely friendship with the girlfriend of one of his victims and starts a chain reaction that will transform him and his fellow zombies.”
Back in October of 2011 I visited the set in Montreal and really dug what I saw. I’ve been a fan of Levine’s work for some time, but have to admit that I was iffy on this particular concept. But between reading the book and seeing what the cast and crew were up to, I’m very optimistic that this movie will be a lot of fun. Plus, I got to be a zombie (along with several other journalists)!
On Friday I shared Part One of my set report – which you should really read first. After that, head inside now for Part Two! READ MORE

[SXSW '12] It’s Story Time In This New Clip From ‘Intruders’!
![Intruders31112 [SXSW 12] Its Story Time In This New Clip From Intruders!](http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/photosizer/upload/Intruders31112.jpg "[SXSW 12] Its Story Time In This New Clip From Intruders!")
Millennium Entertainment’s Intruders hits theaters at the end of the month and we have a significant new clip from the film to help get you primed. In it, Ella Purnell’s Mia reads to her classmates the twisted tale of the origins of Hollow Face.
Starring Clive Owen, Daniel Brühl, Carice Van Houten, Pilar López de Ayala, Ella Purnell, Izan Corchero and Kerry Fox, the supernatural thriller was directed by 28 Weeks Later helmer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.
“Though no one can see him, Hollow Face lurks in the corners, desperately desiring love but only knowing how to spread fear and hate. He creeps into the life of John Farrow (Clive Owen) after Farrow’s beloved 13-year-old daughter Mia (Ella Purnell) is assaulted in their home. The line between the real and the imaginary blurs as fissures start to open within the family unit. It seems that no security measure can keep Hollow Face out.”
Intruders screens at the SXSW Film Festival on March 13th at 11:59PM. It hits theaters everywhere on March 30th. READ MORE
‘Emily Rose’ Director Teams With Charlize Theron for ‘Zwart’ Redo
Scott Derrickson, who is currently working on Sinister for Summit Entertainment, will be getting behind the camera for the long-gestured English-language remake of the Dutch thriller Two Eyes Staring (Zwart Water), which has one of the most idiotic twists in the past few years.
Summit is also getting behind this redo with Charlize Theron (Prometheus) attached to produce and star, reports THR.
Derrickson, the writer-director behind The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Day the Earth Stood Still, will helm the remake from a script he wrote with Emily Rose collaborator Paul Boardman.
“ ‘Zwart Water’ centers on a nine-year girl old who discovers that her new friend is not only sinister but also is her mother’s dead twin. Theron is attached to play the mother, who is not quite right in the head, as they say.”
The movie, which was released in Europe last year, was re-titled Two Eyes Staring when hit international circuits, most recently playing at Fantastic Fest in September.

2011 HORROR MOVIE PREVIEW: SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT
Summit Entertainment is making a rise to the top of my favorite studio list as they’ve been pushing various genre pics through the system. While they’re best known for the Twilight franchise, I think we can thank to tween vamp series for giving the mini the ability to make movies we want. Is anyone else as excited as I am for Drive Angry 3D?

2011 HORROR MOVIE PREVIEW: WARNER BROS./NEW LINE CINEMA
Warner Bros. Pictures has always been good to us horror fans, and now that they dragged New Line Cinema under their umbrella things are getting pretty serious.

2011 HORROR MOVIE PREVIEW: LIONSGATE & AFTER DARK FILMS
We always smoosh Lionsgate’s film releases with After Dark Films’, specifically because Lionsgate distributes the titles on home video. If you were to remove After Dark from the following, Lionsgate’s 2011 is pretty weak, unless they can get the new Silent Hill in production for release this year. And who knows if ATM will even get a date? Yikes. They need a new franchise badly.

2011 HORROR MOVIE PREVIEW: PARAMOUNT PICTURES
While Paramount Pictures isn’t known for horror, they always find a way to squeeze in one quality pic around their new franchise, Paranormal Activity. Most of that can be attributed to J.J. Abrams, who after producing Cloverfiled, is set to unleash Super 8 this summer – this time taking on directing duties! Thankfully Paramount finally got Case 39 out of their system, I’d like to forget it even exists.
