Midnight Syndicate will be teaming up with Hollywood FX legend Robert Kurtzman (Dusk till Dawn producer, co-founder of the KNB EFX Group) and his production company, Precinct 13 Entertainment to produce the horror-suspense film, The Dead Matter. Pre-production will begin March 1 with principal photography scheduled to kick off in Northeastern Ohio this August. A 2008 release is projected.
Edward Douglas will be directing the film and producing it through the newly formed Midnight Syndicate Films division of Entity Productions, Inc. The company is currently in talks with Doug Bradley (Hellraiser series) and Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster) to star.
"This is a really exciting time for us. One of our main goals over the past ten years has been to get into a position to remake The Dead Matter with an actual budget" said Edward Douglas who produced and directed an earlier version of the film for $2000 in 1996 before forming Midnight Syndicate. "Horror movies are at the core of what Gavin and I do in Midnight Syndicate. It's what we love and that's why we believe in remaking this particular film. Co-writer Tony Demci and I have had a lot of time to take what we felt was a good story in the original version and develop it into something very special that we know is really going to deliver for both our fans and other fans of the horror genre."
The Dead Matter tells the story of a vampire relic with occult powers that falls into the hands of a grief-stricken young woman who will do anything to contact her dead brother.

The Criterion Collection, known as the Cadillac of DVD suppliers because of its elaborate packages, will launch an entry-level line of boxed sets in March.
The Eclipse line, according to its mission statement, will feature "lost, forgotten or overshadowed films, in simple, affordable editions." Each set will contain three to five films, sans bonus features, made from the best available masters, but not getting a full Criterion restoration. Retail pricing, on average, will be less than $15 a disc. Regular Criterion Collection DVDs start at about $30.
"The goal is to make these films available, to make sure that Criterion's own work style doesn't contribute to the continuing unavailability of these films," Criterion Collection president Peter Becker said. "Once our producers and restoration crew get started on a Criterion edition, the project takes on a life of its own. Months later, with a little luck, we'll have something really special to show for it, but at that rate we can't make a dent in the number of important unreleased films that we'd like people to be able to see."
The Eclipse line launches March 27 with the five-disc set "Early Bergman," which includes a quintet of psychological character studies from the career of legendary Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman a decade before "The Seventh Seal" and "Wild Strawberries" earned him a reputation as one of the greatest directors ever. Among them: "Torment," a 1944 coming-of-age drama that was Bergman's first produced screenplay, and 1949's "Thirst," a complex film about the human condition told in flashbacks. Also included in "Early Bergman" are "Crisis" (1946), "Port of Call" (1948) and "To Joy" (1949).

It's not horror news but in definitely interesting movie news, Paramount Pictures will release Steven Spielberg's
Indiana Jones 4 on May 22, 2008.
The Harrison Ford starrer -- which resurrects the franchise after a nearly 20-year hiatus -- will go up against Warner Bros. tentpole Speed Racer, which bows a day after Indy 4.
David Koepp (Spider-Man) penned the script for the fourth installment, which reteams George Lucas, Spielberg and Ford. LucasFilms is producing Indy 4 for Par. Pic is set to begin lensing by June. Storyline is being kept under tight wraps.
In their first directing effort since The Matrix trilogy, Larry and Andy Wachowski will helm Speed Racer, based on the Japanese cartoon series of the same name by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida.
