Margot Robbie Developing a New TANK GIRL Movie

Tank Girl

Well, this could be all kinds of cool. Yes, as the headline suggests, Margot Robbie could be about to serve up a new Tank Girl movie.

The news of this actually comes from Alan Martin, the co-creator of the original Tank Girl comic book series. Martin has taken to Twitter to reveal that Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment production banner has optioned the rights for a new Tank Girl film.

At this early stage, it’s best not to get carried away with the idea of Robbie herself headlining the movie, for it could well be that she’ll just be working as a producer through her production company. But, you never know…

As a character, Tank Girl began life back in 1988 in the comic book from Martin and Jamie Hewlett. Centred on Rebecca Buck, readers saw the titular character driving around in the tank that also happens to be her home. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, mind, for Tank Girl’s future-set landscape is full of bad guys and booze.

1995 famously saw Lori Petty head to the big screen in Tank Girl, although that movie absolutely bombed upon its release. In more recent years, the picture has become somewhat of a cult classic that was bogged down by a hugely troubled shoot and production.

Now, it appears that Rebecca Buck will again be making her way to the silver screen.

Expect more on this as we get it.

Iko Uwais Joins SNAKE EYES

Iko Uwais

As Paramount’s Snake Eyes solo movie continues to flesh out its core cast, now comes word on another new addition for the picture.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, The Raid: Redemption’s Iko Uwais has joined the G.I. Joe spin-off as Hard Master. In the world of the G.I. Joe comics, Hard Master is Snake Eyes’ mentor, is the leader of the Arashikage Clan of ninjas, and is also the uncle of Tommy Arashikage, aka the man who would become the nefarious Storm Shadow.

Uwais joins a cast that currently features Crazy Rich Asians’ Henry Golding as the titular Snake Eyes and Warrior’s Andrew Kojij as his longtime rival, Storm Shadow.

To be directed by Robert Schwentke, Snake Eyes is currently booked in for an October 2020 release.

Robert Longstreet Joins HALLOWEEN KILLS as Lonnie Elam

Robert Longstreet

As Halloween Kills continues to bring characters back to the iconic Halloween franchise, now comes word that Lonnie Elam will be returning to Haddonfield.

Courtesy of Bloody Disgusting, The Haunting of Hill House’s Robert Longstreet has joined the film as Lonnie Elam. Longstreet is new to the role, but Lonnie is a character who appeared in John Carpenter’s original 1978 Halloween.

Played by Brent Le Page in that ’78 picture, Lonnie was one of the kids who bullied Tommy Doyle about “the bogeyman, the bogeyman” and was the kid who was scared to death by Sam Loomis as he was being dared to enter the Myers house.

For the eagle-eyed of you out there, you’ll have noticed that last year’s Halloween had Dylan Arnold playing Cameron Elam – the boyfriend of Allyson and the son of Lonnie Elam.

This is just the latest new addition for Halloween Kills, with Robert Longstreet joining Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle and Kyle Richards returning as Lindsay Wallace.

To be directed once again by David Gordon Green, and from a script put together by Green, Danny McBride and Scott Teems, Halloween Kills is booked in for an October 2020 release. Following that, Halloween Ends is already set for October 2021 – with that movie supposedly set to bring the franchise to an end once and for all.

HOME Manchester Hosting FILM FEAR 2019

doctor sleep

HOME and Film4 are excited to announce the programme for the fourth annual FilmFear season – the biggest programme yet will comprise nine days of horror, extreme cinema, cult favourites and special guests coming to Manchester this October.

These are the films we’re most looking forward to:

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Kicking off the season on Tuesday 29 October will be a special preview of one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year – The Lighthouse, director Robert Eggers’ much-anticipated follow-up to his folk-horror debut The Witch (2015). Starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as lighthouse keepers battling the elements, isolation, inner demons and more on a remote and mysterious Maine island in the 1890s, the eerie period tale will be on general release in January 2020 making HOME audiences amongst the first to see the film in the UK.

DOCTOR SLEEP

Looking for something to do on Halloween night? There’s a preview of Doctor Sleep, based on the Stephen King novel and starring Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) as Danny Torrance, 40 years after his terrifying stay at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, alongside Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible series) and Jacob Tremblay (Room). Fans of The Shining are going to get the chance to see just how director Mike Flanagan gets around the sticky point of including Dick Halloran – killed off in the Kubrick film but a survivor in King’s novel…

LUZ

This German horror is set to send shivers right up the spine as what seems to be a tale of demonic possession becomes something, well, not easy to define. Morphing into a kind of audience puzzle, this head scratcher is going to confound and terrify in equal measure.

On top of these highlights, the season has other new releases like All The Gods In The Sky, Ghost Town Anthology and some classics back on the big screen – The Wicker Man and Nosferatu the Vampyre (Herzog’s version), whilst there’s even a family screening of The Witcheds.

Halloween suddenly got a lot scarier…

FilmFear is at HOME Manchester from Tue 29 October – Sun 3 November. For more information, visit www.homemcr.org

Nicholas Vince’s I AM MONSTERS! Show Opens London Horror Festival

vince monsters

Nicholas Vince, famous for portraying the Chatterer Cenobite in Hellraiser and Kinski in Nightbreed is set to open the London Horror Festival in his one-man show I Am Monsters!

The performance will take place on three nights only – October 8th – 10th – and demand is expected to be high, so book your tickets now at https://www.pleasance.co.uk/

From the press release:

I AM MONSTERS! charts Vince’s life from a monster-obsessed child, born undershot, through to an out of the closet actor, propelled to fame by Clive Barker’s ground-breaking films. He speaks openly about being a bullied outsider, the life-threatening operation to reconstruct his face, his battle with being gay in Thatcher’s Britain and reveals what it takes to be a monster. He will also be reading extracts from his favourite horror classics.

Vince said today: ““This show is about my fascination with the monsters I first read as an 8 year-old in The Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends, and later, the classic horror novels and films, and how they helped me deal with being bullied at school, through my facial reconstructive surgery and a near death experience to the fun we had making the films. 

I’ve told the stories about the challenges of makeup on Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, Hellbound and Nightbreed over the years, but I hadn’t put them in the context of the times we filmed in and been able to celebrate the profound effect they’ve had on me and so many people.”


Clive Barker added: “Nicholas Vince has played monsters both bizarre and blood-thirsty, and has brought both his life-long passion for horror and his immense skills as an actor to every role. Now, in this extraordinary confessional, we meet the man behind the terrifying masks, as he traces his journey from a troubled youth to a man who now embodies creatures known world-wide, Nick charms and chills us, mingling the witty and the nightmarish, So go see the man who laughs behind the mask. He has such tales to tell.”

The show takes place at the Pleasance Theatre, Carpenters Mews, North Road, London.
