Rumor Control: ‘Halloween 3D’ Has NOT Been Greenlit
Making up stories for traffic not only makes you look like an asshole, but it hurts the filmmakers who are working incredibly hard on getting their movie into production.
A site I choose not to name claims representatives from the Weinstein Company confirmed to them that they have “officially green-lit” Halloween 3D “after nearly a 3 year wait.”
First, it hasn’t even been two years since Rob Zombie’s sequel to his own remake arrived in theaters. Second, their story is a load of bullcrap.
Dimension Films has officially denied these reports to Bloody Disgusting, while creative forces close to the project have also rebuked the story.
From what we’re told, the Weinsteins are solely focused on getting director Patrick Lussier and writer Todd Farmer’s Hellraiser off the ground. Lussier and Farmer, who also collaborated on My Bloody Valentine 3D and Drive Angry 3D, were attached to develop the latest coming of Michael Myers back in September 2009. As of this writing it’s still very much in the cards for the future.
But is it greelit? NO. Is it moving forward? NO.
We’ll update you with official news when it comes.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
