Experience ‘The Happening’ On The Big Screen Again!
One of the more difficult interviews I’ve had to conduct for Bloody Disgusting was with M. Night Shyamalan back in the summer of 2008. Not that HE was difficult; on the contrary, he was a great and enthusiastic guy. The problem was FOX wouldn’t let us see The Happening before the interview, so it was hard to come up with questions about the film, when so much of it was a mystery. Then I saw it and understood why – it was about killer trees. And thus I sat in confused disbelief the whole time I watched it, and missed out on the fact that it’s actually one of the most drop-dead hilarious movies of all time. Well, thanks to the Nuart Cinema, I will get a chance to see it on the big screen *correctly*, and I want you all to join me! This Friday, January 28th, at 11:59 PM, Bloody-Disgusting will host a rare 35mm screening of this legendary misfire at the Nuart Cinema in Los Angeles, located right off the 405 at 11272 Santa Monica Blvd. Tickets are 10 bucks at the door or available online HERE. See you there! Check below for one of the film’s more batshit scenes.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
