While Deon Taylor’s Twisted Pictures slasher opus Chain Letter still awaits a confirmed release date, one of the director’s earlier fright flicks is now headed for theaters. Deon Taylor Enterprises/Vista Taylor will bring Dead Tone to select cities beginning September 3, and have made a deal for the home releases as well.
Originally titled 7Eventy 5Ive (and previously set for January 2008 U.S. DVD release by CodeBlack Entertainment under that moniker), Dead Tone is the supposedly fact-based story of college students who engage in a prank-calling contest; the object is to scare the person at the other end for 75 seconds. Unfortunately for them, one of the people they ring up is a psychopath who doesn’t think their game is very funny. Taylor helmed the film with Brian Hooks (who also stars) from a script they wrote with Vashon Nutt; the cast additionally includes Jud Tylor, Cherie Johnson, »

Do you like hot tubs? Have you ever sat in your room wishing you could go back in time and make up for all of your short-comings as a teenager? Well, someone had the absolutely brilliant idea to combine both items and give us the awesomest movie idea to ever come out of Hollywood (well besides Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus) - Hot Tub Time Machine.
Director Steve Pink (Accepted) teams up with writers Josh Heald and Andrew Mogel to try and bring some laughs and originality to the Hot Tub Time Machine. This is Heald’s first credited writing attempt and the second for Mogel who wrote the screenplay for Jim Carrey’s Yes Man. These three guys may not have a lot of background in directing and writing but that hasn’t stopped the 34th Street Films movie from picking up some pretty big names to star.

You don’t need a lot of money to make a good movie set in a world after the apocalypse. Sure, having some money helps, but more often than not, it’s all about the characters and story. The film “Remnants” will be working with a $5 million dollar budget, which is more than enough to make a good movie, in my opinion, and the story sure sounds tempting. From the Electric Film Sales site (via the boys over at Quiet Earth): Eclectic Film Sales, Inc. is pleased to announce that pre-production has begun on Remnants, an exciting sci-fi action-thriller starring Jason Behr (Dragon Wars, The Grudge), Jena Malone (Into The Wild, The Ruins), and Shane West (Walk To Remember, Dracula 2000). The nuclear apocalypse of World War 3 has ravaged Earth. Now for the few lucky survivors trapped in a rural Texas bomb shelter, life has become a dangerous game »

Call me crazy but this Mutant Chronicles movie looks like a damn good time! And I don't mean that in an Iron Man sorta way but in a B-movie kinda way. (Then again, I also thought that Dragon Wars looked cool...) There's a new trailer online and clearly this film doesn't have the biggest budget but what they're doing with it is semi-impressive. And I'm pretty much down anytime you've got Thomas Jane in a movie. After that JoBlo.com/Thomas Jane encounter in a hotel lobby at Comic-Con two... »

Even in a cast as large and talented as The Office's, comedian-actor Craig Robinson stands out. As the foreman of the Dunder Mifflin warehouse, Robinson plays the foil to Steve Carell's clueless boob of a middle manager, who sees Robinson as his mentor in the mysterious ways of African-American culture. Since making his name with The Office, Robinson has branched out into feature films, establishing himself as a popular member of Judd Apatow's repertory company: He scored roles in Walk Hard, last year's hit action-comedy Pineapple Express, and in Knocked Up, where he played a wry bouncer with a strong anti-old-pregnant-bitches policy. Though he still dabbles in juicy bit parts, he had a sizable supporting turn in Kevin Smith's Zack And Miri Make A Porno, and he co-starred in the Korean monster movie Dragon Wars. The A.V. Club recently spoke with Robinson about The Office, »
