FRIDAY FEARCAST (9/24-9/30)

HATCHET 3
One of the best slasher series to come out in a long time is Adam Green's "Hatchet" series. Fans have been on the edge of their seat waiting to find out who will replace Mr. Green on this go around. Well, wait no longer! BJ McDonnell will take the helm making his directorial debut with Hatchet 3. BJ worked as a cameraman on both previous films as well as RZ's Halloween and the TV series Heroes. Adam Green has also said that he will be working closely with BJ McDonnell on all aspects of the film. This is fantastic news for the series and horror in general I believe. I love the fact that they are keeping this "in house" and that Adam Green is still going to be involved with this project. I want to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment about how you think BJ will do in his directorial debut.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3
I for one can't wait for the next installment of this great franchise. I believe it's one those rare occasions that the second film actually was better than the first. Now with that being said I have been a bit skeptical of the new one. Not sure about some of the news I've read about where they are taking the story but this first clip  is a very good sign. Peep the clip below and make sure to catch the film when it hits theatres on October 21st.

THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Yep, that's right horror fiends, once again talks of The Twilight Zone movie are surfacing. It looks like the guys over at Warner bros. are in talks to bring a new film adaptation of the beloved series to the silver screen.  Right now it looks like the great Christopher Nolan is on the top of the short list for directors. Other names on that list are Michael Bay and Alfonso Cuaron. David Yates has also been mentioned but doesn't seem to be a possibility at this point. I was not a fan of the 1983 film and I wasn't happy to hear about this either... that was until Christopher Nolan's name popped up! The guy is genius even if you don't count "The Dark Knight". As long as his name is still attached to this project then I will have hope for this film. The WB guys also said that unlike the 1983 version this film will follow just one story instead of bouncing all over the place. I'll keep you updated on the ongoing status of the film.

CASSADAGA
I always like to leave you, my readers with a great new poster or a new still from the week to end each edition of Fearcast. This week I'm going to leave you with a great still from Anthony DiBlasi's new film "Cassadaga". The film will be premiering on October 22nd as part of the Screamfest LA Film Festival. The film looks great and I can't wait to be able to see it! Enjoy the image!
Stay Sick!
Cassadega
