In May of 2007 (just prior to the nation’s economic collapse), this writer visited the set of the Bogner Entertainment and Trailer Park Partners production Trailer Park of Terror, a Southern-fried fright flick directed by country-music video director-turned feature filmmaker Steven Goldmann. Produced by Jonathan Bogner and Ralph Singleton (Pet Semetary) and based on the Imperium Comics of the same name, Trailer Park of Terror premiered the following year at Slamdance ’08, and was released to DVD that October via Summit Entertainment.
Starring Lew Temple and Priscilla Barnes (The Devil’s Rejects) and Nichole Hiltz, Duane Whitaker (Feast), Ed Corbin and Michelle Lee (among others), Trailer Park of Terror, regardless of its playfully sadistic EC Comics-vibe and inspired makeup designs by Todd Tucker, didn’t cause the waves its producers had predicted, and due to such, unfortunately derailed the planned feature franchise and television and comic book series. Perplexing, given the gonzo cocktail of sex,...

Dimension Films has pre-emptively purchased the comedy project Tough Love from writers Matt Allen and Caleb Wilson, with Ice Cube attached to star and Thomas Carter to direct.
Inspired by the life of former New England Patriots defensive back Tebucky Jones, the story centers on a tough-as-nails NFL player who realizes that his kids have become spoiled brats. In an effort to toughen them up, he forces them to spend their summer in the mean streets of Oakland, Calif., where he grew up. Along the way, he realizes that he also might have some things to learn.
Cube will produce with his Cube Vision partner Matt Alvarez, in addition to H2F Entertainment's Walter Hamada and Chris Fenton as well as Carter. Life rights initially were optioned by Jonathan Bogner, who also will produce.
Cube's next movie, Are We Done Yet? hits screens April 4. Cube, Alvarez and Dimension are developing a film adaptation of the 1970s television show Welcome Back, Kotter.
Cube is repped by WMA, the Firm and attorney Matt Johnson.

Its release calculated to coincide with the X Games, "Supercross: The Movie" is advertainment to the extreme.
Produced in association with Clear Channel Entertainment's Motor Sports division, which sponsors the Supercross bike-racing competition, the production attempts to dress up the corporate synergy in the guise of a fictionalized story of two racing brothers, but the resulting mix of ESPN-style visuals and WB Network-style dramatics never convincingly comes together.
Thanks to an eleventh-hour pruning that has left the film about 15 minutes shorter than its officially stated running time, any real sort of plotting or character development appears to have been left on the cutting-room floor along with all traces of Daryl Hannah's performance.
What's left is a lot of racing footage interspersed with a flimsy David vs. Goliath story which begs the question: Will its target audience willingly pay to see what they can watch on TV for free, minus the intrusive made-up bits?
Set in an odd, Southern California parallel universe where virtually everybody is Caucasian, the picture follows the intersecting paths taken by K.C. (Steve Howey) and Trip (Mike Vogel) Carlyle, a pair of brothers who run a pool-cleaning business but whose hearts are in Supercross.
The more disciplined of the two, K.C. ends up getting a flashy "factory" (corporate sponsored) ride, which drives a philosophical as well as a competitive wedge between the siblings. Trip ends up going the less glamorous, unsponsored "privateer" route, but fate ultimately intervenes, forcing these would-be rivals to put aside their difference and join forces to defeat the powerful bad guys.
Directed by stuntman-turned-filmmaker Steve Boyum, the vehicle dutifully goes along an uninspired path mapped out by screenwriters Ken Solarz and Bart Baker that still allows for earnest emoting from its young cast members. Joining Howey and Vogel are Cameron Richardson and Sophia Bush as the brothers' love interests, and the more seasoned Robert Carradine and Robert Patrick as the controlling corporate heavy and the noble independent spirit, who serve, for better or worse, as the boys' respective father figures.
Getting to the main event, filmed at the real-life Supercross finals in Las Vegas, the high-energy footage is competent but falls short of spectacular. Maybe it would have been a better idea to simply skip the fiction altogether and just show those real-life bikers doing their extreme thing, uninterrupted by cutaway close-ups of the actors pretending to be them.
