"Troll" being remade with a huge budget

Rumblings had surfaced recently that a remake to the '86 horror film "Troll" was in the works, with a substantial budget. After passing it off as a really bad joke, it was found out later that it wasnt a joke.....at all.

Yesterday it was discovered that a remake to John Carl Buechler's film is in fact being shot.

No details have been revealed about the film other than this synopsis: The film is about a young boy who enters a parallel world of wizards and magic where he befriends a good witch. Soon the boy learns that he must save the world from an evil Troll/Wizard that has the ability to hide his essence within the bodies of others.



"Saw V & VI" director already signed up

It has just been confirmed.

Confirmation comes from multiple sources by our friends over at bloody-disgusting.com that David Hackl, the production designer on Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV and second unit director on Saw II and Saw IV has OFFICIALLY been attached to helm both Lionsgate's Saw V and Saw VI, assuming a hole doesn't form in the Earth and suck the franchise in with it.

Will Jigsaw return? I'm sure he will.

But this news comes so early don't expect much more until we see how well Saw IV does, which Hackl was once in the running to direct.



Classic 50s Monster movie in 3D coming in May 2009

DreamWorks Animation's Monsters vs. Aliens has been slated for domestic release May 15, 2009, a week earlier than previously announced.

"Monsters vs. Aliens" -- now confirmed as the official title with the release date -- will be the first DWA film produced in stereoscopic 3-D.

"Monsters" is described as a reinvention of the classic 1950s monster movie into an irreverent modern-day action comedy. Lisa Stewart will produce the film.
