SERENITY DVD details
I still haven’t seen SERENITY but it is at the top of my list. The buzz around this movie at FANTASTIC FEST has been incredible. It’s not actually playing at the fest, but everybody I run into seems to be talking about it. The DVD is already in the works for a December 20th release and The Digital Bits were able to score a few details. This is unconfirmed at this date, but bonus features are rumored to include:
- Video introduction to the film by Whedon
- Whedon audio commentary
- Future History featurette
- We’ll Have a Fruity Oaty Good Time featurette
- Re-Lighting the Firefly featurette
- What’s in a Firefly featurette
- The Other Side of Serenity featurette
- Serenity’s Roman Orgy featurette
- 6 Minutes of outtakes

Weinsteins to remake HALLOWEEN
I’m long past getting upset over Hollywood remakes of horror classics. After all they already remake DAWN OF THE DEAD, which was the “sacred cow” movie for me. Now that DAWN has been remade (and I actually really liked the remake), nothing really comes as a surprise. But now the Weinstein brothers have announced they are planning a remake of the John Carpenter classic HALLOWEEN. According to the New York Times: “Under the separation agreement between the Weinsteins and Disney, the brothers were given sequel rights to 15 franchise or potentially franchise projects, including a remake of HALLOWEEN.” This looks like a project guaranteed to infuse some cash into the coffers of the new Weinstein Company, so I am predicting this will hit theaters around Halloween 2006. Mark your calendars.

DUNGEON SIEGE splits into two movies
Internet fan-favorite director Dr. Uwe Boll (ISLAND OF THE DEAD) is preparing to release his new movie DUNGEON SIEGE which stars Jason Statham and Leelee Sobieski. He recently announced to MTV News that this film is simply too epic to be confined by one film. In true LORD OF THE RINGS fashion, the current cut of the film runs over 4 hours. So, no doubt inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s KILL BILL, he is splitting it into two “volumes.” The first volume has been retitled: IN THE NAME OF THE KING: A DUNGEON SIEGE TALE.

Hollywood calls it quits
Are you tired of hearing Hollywood ***censored*** and moan about the miserable box-office earnings this year? These guys are getting worse than the RIAA complaining about illegal file sharing. Apparently The Onion is sick of all the whining as well and has published this article that cuts right to the heart of the matter.

Jon Favreau to direct JOHN CARTER OF MARS
The revolving door of directors for JOHN CARTER OF MARS continues to spin. First, I got all excited about Robert Rodriguez, but he left the project due to difficulties with the Director’s Guild. Next up was SKY CAPTAIN director Kerry Conran which seemed like a decent choice although I wasn’t a big SKY CAPTAIN fan. Now the revolving door has spun once more and Jon Favreau (ELF, ZARATHUSTRA) has landed in the director’s chair.
