I Am Link

--- Chrissy Lives - The last time Christina Ricci did a horror movie, it was the truly unforgivable Wes Craven werewolf monstrosity Cursed... let's hope this works out a little bit better for her. Ricci has signed on to the movie After.Life, described by BD thusly:

"The story chronicles a young woman in a transitional state between life and death who fights to avoid being buried alive and the funeral director who holds her fate in his hands."

--- DGG Gone Crazy - I simply can't keep up with the randomness of David Gordon Green's career trajectory anymore. He goes from small indies like All the Real Girls to a big stoner comedy with Pineapple Express, and now he's got the greenlight for an animated surfer dude comedy show for television? Egads.

--- That pretty dude there to the right has been cast as the lead in the next inevitably dicked-over Clive Barker adaptation, Dread. His name is Jackson Rathbone, and I guess he's in that teen-vampire flick Twlight, as well as... sigh... the Donnie Darko sequel S. Darko. Why does everything need to keep coming back to this movie? I'm trying to forget it exists, for crap's sake!

"Dread"'s a scary fucking story, by the way... not sure how well it'll translate to the screen, though. Although, clowns! Scary enough, those, all on their own.

--- Am I alone in not having the slightest bit of interest in Frank Miller's The Spirit? I feel like that makes me a bad geek. And it's not that I feel slighted by the changes from the source material since I'm basically totally uneducated in Will Eisner's work (bad geek!); it's just that the trailers and everything I've seen attached to the movie itself has inspired nary an iota of interest in me.

All that said, randomly there's an image in the new trailer for The Spirit from Dr. Manhattan's transformation in Watchmen, the latter a movie/property I am very interested in (via):


--- And finally, I missed it before but some more details emerged last week on that web-project by James "Slither" Gunn that will have him pairing up actors like Nathan Fillion or Alan Tudyk with female porn stars (previously posted about here). Mr. Gunn says:

"How many times have you been watching a great porn film – you’re really enjoying the story, the acting, the cinematography – when, all of the sudden, they ruin everything with PEOPLE HAVING SEX?

A bunch of times, right?

That’s why I, along with my brothers Brian and Sean, have created JAMES GUNN’S PG-PORN. It’s pornography everyone can enjoy, not just perverts. You and your grandmother, for instance, could sit down together and enjoy some nice clean smut. Or your kids could come home from school, and the whole family could gather around the computer and not-jerk-off to some porn embedded with deep traditional values (like not fucking.)

GOOD BOYS PRODUCTIONS and SAFRAN DIGITAL GROUP is proud to announce our new web series, JAMES GUNN’S PG-PORN, which teams mainstream Hollywood actors with performers formerly known for their work in the adult industry, but who will soon be known for being part of a worldwide revolution in sexless pornography. JAMES GUNN’S PG-PORN is the only porn where, when the delivery boy comes over to deliver some pizza, people actual get what they’re expecting – some delicious pizza!

We hope you’ll join us OCTOBER 8 on Spike.com to see the very first episode of JAMES GUNN’S PG-PORN, NAILING YOUR WIFE, with Nathan Fillion and Aria Giovanni. Watch Nathan Fillion inhabit the role of “CHRIS”, who doesn’t have any sex whatsoever with his boss’s wife, MRS. GRIMES.""
