Today EW got their hands on some new stills from Alexandre Aja’s new horror film Horns and they deliver exactly what you hoped to see — Daniel Radcliffe sporting a pair of devilish horns. Aja’s adaptation of Joe Hill’s novel sees Radcliffe take the lead as Ig Perrish who suddenly wakes up with a pair of horns growing from his head. While no one else can see them, everyone he comes in contact with feels compelled to tell him their most horrific secrets. Got your attention? Well it certainly should! Not only is Aja at the helm, who’s responsible for the horror gem High Tension, but Radcliffe will be one hell of a site to see in the role of Ig Perrish. This should be one nasty little flick and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Continue Reading…

John Hurt to play Abraham Setrakian in The Strain

Ryan —  June 17, 2013 — 3 Comments

FX’s adaptation of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s horror novel The Strain has just added John Hurt to co-lead opposite Corey Stoll and Mia Maestro in the network’s high-profile drama pilot, reports Deadline.

Hurt is the final piece to the puzzle for the show as he’ll portray Professor Abraham Setrakian, a holocaust survivor who immigrated to the U.S. after World War II and now runs a pawn shop in Spanish Harlem. As the outbreak spreads, he may be the only one with answers — if anyone will listen. The Strain was already shaping up quite nicely but now that they’ve landed Hurt to play Setrakian, I think it’s safe to say that we might just have one hell of a show on our hands. Continue Reading…

Stephen King’s ‘Cell’ Calls up a Director

Ryan —  February 8, 2013 — 15 Comments

When we first got wind of Stephen King’s zombie novel, Cell, getting a film adaptation, Eli Roth was one of the names attached to direct. Despite Roth’s involvement falling through, the project still moved forward as they announced back in October that their leading star would be John Cusack. According to Screen Daily, not only does the film sound like it might actually get made, but they’ve found the right man for the job. Continue Reading…

Ryan —  February 4, 2013 — 15 Comments

I’ve covered Stephen King’s upcoming sequel to his masterpiece The Shining for quite some time now so I’m really excited to be sharing the cover art for the special edition printings of Doctor Sleep with you guys. The sequel will follow a now 40 year old Danny Torrance and a tribe of psychic vampires. Yea that’s right, vampires! While we still have no idea what the standard edition cover art will look like, something tells me it wont be nearly as badass as what Cemetery Dance is offering with their limited & signed editions.

Ben Affleck’s Adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ Still In The Works

Ryan —  November 17, 2012 — 9 Comments

There’s no doubting the fact that Ben Affleck knows how to direct an excellent film. Being three-for-three so far with Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now the huge hit Argo, Affleck shows no signs of slowing down. The idea of Stephen King’s masterpiece The Stand getting a film adaptation is an exciting one, but even more so knowing that Affleck is eyeing the director’s chair. Continue Reading…
