It is very rare that a teaser trailer of just over a minute’s length can project a real sense of dread and terror.

The film centres around the [...]

Paramount and producer Rob Moore have revealed that a (still unnamed) screenwriter has been hired to flesh out GI Joe 2

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers responsible for last year’s Zombieland, have officially signed on to the film

Oh what could have been.
Zombieland scribe Rhett Reese talked to ShockTillYouDrop about an early version of the script that included a zombiefied Patrick Swayze. “That was many years ago, before he got sick,” said Reese. “It was [going to be] a Patrick Swayze zombie.”
