THEY LIVE---John Carpenter said he had a sequel planned to his 1988 cult classic movie, “There was a feature film. It was a feature film called RESISTANCE, written by, oh, the guy who did the APES movies. Matt Reeves. But then he moved on.”

WE, THE DROWNED---eight-part miniseries underway based on the novel set in 1848 when Laurids Madsen sails from the Danish island town of Marstal, to battle Germany in the First Schleswig War.

A QUIET PLACE----John Krasinski said he that in addition to starring in the movie, he also played the alien monster via motion-capture, “The amazing people at [Industrial Light and Magic] asked, ‘So how does the creature move?’ and I said, ‘Well, this is how I think he’s gonna crawl.’ And they said, ‘Well, why don’t you throw on the suit?’ And I was like, ‘Totally!’ Then they took that picture and I thought I was auditioning for LION KING.”

This sequel will have to be extra careful from being too "on the nose". 80s audiences were less trigger-happy.
Also, this is fine and all, but when am I getting Escape From Earth? If Yoda's uncle can play Indiana Jones a fifth time, surely Kurt Russell can be bootied to don the snakeskin duds and inevitable leg wound once again.

One of the all-time great movie pannings.
I remember a National Enquirer headline at the time, showed a pathetic picture of elderly Morris with the quote "DePalma, throw me a bone!" I didn't read the article, I was on line at Waldbaums, but apparently the article was about his "begging for a cameo" or something.
Most of the Enquirer is BS, but they sometimes get a story right. I remember reading their "leaked" story line for Star Trek V before the movie came out and laughed at how awful it was and disregarded it as ridiculous. But then watched in horror opening night as it unfolded EXACTLY as they reported!
So who knows...

Dog Soldiers is a bizarrely well reviewed film. It's absolute rubbish. The writing is really poor, the effects aren't great, the music is okay but too big for the film and doesn't really match the cheapness of the production. The "action" comes across like kids playing soldiers in the park. And there's far too many pointless references to other films. The rip off shot from Apocalypse Now where the guy refuses to get out of the helicopter makes absolutely no sense when used here. It was filled with stupid moments.
Doomsday equally ripped off loads for films and made no sense and was even worse. The Descent wasn't very good either. The monsters were hilariously awful and about three of the actresses were so bad they're stealing a living.
I did like Centurion. Just a basic soldiers behind enemy lines story done well.
But i think Marshall might do alright with this upcoming one. Interesting setting anyway. Interested to see his Hellboy film too.
