Speaking of things that will suck! “Beetlejuice 2″ writer has met with Michael Keaton, says it’s a “priority” film Tim Burton is not a director to create sequels to his earlier success stories for the hell of it. So that’s why the news last year that he is endorsing the script for “Beetlejuice 2″ and wants Michael Keaton to star in it actually seemed like a pretty decent idea. “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg are currently working on a script for the project, meaning the long-rumored film may actually see the light of day. ShockTillYouDrop got a chance to talk to Grahame-Smith recently while he was promoting “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” and asked him about the chances of “Beetlejuice 2″ becoming a reality. Apparently they’re actually pretty high, as he’s already been conducting some major meetings with the film’s intended talent. “It’s a reality in the sense that I met with Michael Keaton last week,” Grahame-Smith said. “We talked for a couple of hours and talked about big picture stuff. It’s a priority for Warner Bros. It’s a priority for Tim. Right now, I am writing an animated movie for Tim based on an idea of mine. Then I adapt ‘Unholy Night’ [based on the upcoming book]. The third I am hoping is ‘Beetlejuice’ in terms of writing schedule.” As for Keaton’s interest in the project, Grahame-Smith said that his excitement level is “huge.” “He’s been wanting to do it for 20 years and he’ll talk to anybody about it who will listen,” he said. “I really told him, I have a huge reverence for Tim and a huge reverence for that film in general. I don’t think we should do it if we shit on the legacy. He agrees. So, right now, it remains to be seen, I have a couple of story ideas, but we’re very early out.” http://www.ifc.com/fix/2012/02/beetlejuice-2-michael-keaton
The Human Centipede 3 is Coming, Here is Some Casting News News by Ryan Turek March 02, 2012 Share this story While we have known since last fall that Tom Six was preparing a Human Centipede 3, it was only a question of when it was going to happen and who was going to be in it. EW landed some information for those of you out there salivating for more ass-to-mouth action. Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey of the first and second films, respectively, are locked to star. EW adds that Six himself will play a supporting role. Shooting on The Human Centipede 3 begins this May in the U.S. and is being described as "100% politically incorrect." With Laser, Harvey and Six appearing in the film, it appears, once again, that Six is likely breaking down some walls in the HC universe and, once again, going to comment, in some way, on the series' place in pop culture.
Grave Encounters 2 is Moving Forward If you enjoyed last year's supernatural thriller Grave Encounters, you'll be thrilled to know that a sequel - aptly titled Grave Encounters 2 - is moving into pre-production. It appears The Vicious Brothers are back to direct and this time the film follows a group of film students who break into the hospital from the first film to do their own paranormal investigation and quickly realize that Grave Encounters was not just a movie...it was real. So, the film is taking a meta approach that suggests the first entry was a film released on DVD (after playing to Tribeca Film Festival audiences) and fans of that film venture out to the location and, as mentioned in the synopsis, find real terror. In the original, Lance Preston and the crew of "Grave Encounters", a ghost-hunting reality television show, are shooting an episode inside the abandoned Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where unexplained phenomena has been reported for years. All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night and begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera. They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted - it is alive - and it has no intention of ever letting them leave. They find themselves lost in a labyrinth maze of endless hallways and corridors, terrorized by the ghosts of the former patients. They soon begin to question their own sanity, slipping deeper and deeper into the depths of madness, ultimately discovering the truth behind the hospital's dark past...and taping what turns out to be their final episode.
