A Real-Deal Full Review from the ‘Scream 4’ Test Screening!
To kick off the New Year, Dimenion Films set up a slew of test-screenings for Wes Craven’s highly anticipated Scream 4. A few early, but incredibly vague reviews out of the showing were intensely positive, which I found hard to believe seeing that Craven flew back to Detroit for a few days of additional photography.
Since then, Craven has spoken out clearing the air that they were NOT reshoots, and that he was adding some sugar and spice to an already superior movie. This is standard practice from a director who gets back behind the camera. The truth is on film.
Anyways, Bloody Disgusting reader ‘KillorbeKilled’ was prevy to one of the test-screenings and was cool enough to send in his review. I’d say this is the first complete review that still is relatively spoiler-free. I have verified that our mystery writer was in fact at the screening. Knowing he enjoyed an early cut this much, Craven’s extra ingredients are sure to add more depth and flavor. How far away in April 15th again?
Review removed at the request of the studio. Thanks for checking!
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
