Carnival of souls

Pete Mesling at Fearfodder brings word that pretty much everyone has already heard, I’m sure: Director Eli Roth (whose movies I haven’t seen, though you wouldn’t know it to hear me go on about them) will be helming the film adaptation of Stephen King’s Cell (a book I haven’t read, thanks in large part to the vagaries of the Nassau County library system. When the website says “check shelves,” I foolishly assumed that meant it’d be there on the shelves!).

Jon Hastings at the Forager has really come back from hiatus with a vengeance lately; among his many film-related posts of late, my favorite is this one on why everything you know about acting is wrong.

Found at Bloody Disgusting: My fellow Troma alumnus James Gunn says he has no interest in writing a sequel to his remake of Dawn of the Dead, which at this point is probably my favorite zombie movie, or at least the one I’m inclined to watch most often.

Finally, I think my “werewolves are the next zombies” prediction has just found its tipping point.
