Felissa Rose Talks Silent Night, Zombie Night!
1 December 2008 4:36 PM, PST
Production is about to begin shortly on Silent Night, Zombie Night, the second feature from writer/director Sean Cain (Naked Beneath The Surface). A co-production of his Velvet Hammer Films and ArsonCuff Entertainment, the title pretty much gives you a good idea of the 2 horror sub-genres the flick plans on combining.
He explained the premise to Fangoria shortly after the film’s announcement. "The plot is a little like a love triangle between three friends," Cain told Fangoria. "Frank Talbot and Nash Jackson have been partners on the Lapd for many years—almost the same amount of time that Frank has been married to his wife, Sarah. However, on the day an undead plague breaks out, Frank takes an injured Nash back to the younger man's apartment and finds his wife there with a packed bag. Because of the zombies, they are trapped inside and having to deal with the

12" Bruce Campbell Figure From My Name Is Bruce!
1 December 2008 12:08 PM, PST
In our interview with Bruce Campbell last month, the actor/director mentioned that Dark Horse Comics had plans to make an action figure based on the "character" of Bruce Campbell from My Name Is Bruce. Sure enough, you can now pre-order the figure (due out in April 2009) via the BigBadToyStore website. (Link Here!)
Check out an item description, along with a pic of the figure below:
One of the most anticipated genre movie releases of the year is My Name Is Bruce, starring the cult hero (or is that antihero?) Bruce Campbell. Campbell is abducted from his trailer-park home to fight against Guan Di, a Chinese war deity. Thinking it all a joke, although thinking clearly is not one of his strong suits in this picture, Mr. Campbell discovers that it all is real, much to his shock and dismay. Mayhem ensues.
The fully articulated doll is formed from a 3-D scan of Campbell himself.

She's of course referring to the huge success of the first Twilight film last weekend. Listen to more of the interview Here!
Meanwhile, director Catherine Hardwicke had a bit to say about the new film to MTV. "It's got werewolves, it's got visual effects that turn people into werewolves, it's got motorcycle stunts, you go to Italy. It's probably twice as much as this film." Read more,
