The long-gestating Evil Dead remake is picking up steam as each week passes, and now it’s picked up a distributor. Sony Pictures will distribute the movie in the US (and elsewhere) when it’s released — perhaps as early as Halloween 2012 (although a target date has yet to be announced). As previously reported…
A scene from Prometheus.

Ridley Scott’s is-it-or-isn’t-it-an-Alien-prequel Prometheus doesn’t hit theaters until next summer, but a bootleg copy of the first trailer leaked online this week, and despite the poor video quality, I’d be remiss if I didn’t say it looks fraggin’ awesome. Although Scott and company have downplayed the Alien association somewhat, you’ll probably recognize the same stark title sequence and eerie sonar-like sound in the new trailer that was used in the trailer for the original film. Prometheus stars Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Guy Pearce and hits theaters on June 8, 2012 — more than six months from now. Sigh.

The pace of horror remakes over the past decade has slowed of late, largely because most of the major fright flicks have already been revisited. Thus, when a new remake is announced, it tends to be of more obscure horror movies…like Chopping Mall. Remake rights to the 1986 film — about malfunctioning mall security robots who on a killing spree — have been purchased by Robert Hall, the makeup effects guru-turned-director responsible for the two Laid to Rest movies. As with those films, Hall will write, produce and direct, with shooting set to begin in the spring of 2012.
