Well, this is one of the coolest-sounding projects I’ve encountered in a while — not just because of the plot, but also due to the cast involved. Kurt Russell, who hasn’t made a genre film since 2007’s Death Proof, will star in a horror-western (a sub-genre that’s seemingly still awaiting a truly great film; Westworld might be the best to date) called Bone Tomahawk, about “an outlaw who unknowingly leads a band of cannibalistic Troglodytes into the peaceful western town of Bright Hope.”

Once upon a time -- say, 2008 -- there was going to be a remake of Tobe Hooper's classic ghost story Poltergeist; it even had a release date set: November 24, 2010. Fast-forward to 2013, however, and we still haven't seen the film come to fruition. But it seems we're closer than ever, with a director on board -- Gil Kenan (Monster House, City of Ember) -- and filming reportedly set to begin in September...but the question now is, is it remake or a sequel?

Well, it looks like the Zombieland series is no more. Amazon has declined to pick up the pilot, although it’s unclear if the decision is based strictly on viewer feedback or if other factors came into play. Writer-producer Rhett Reese for one thinks it’s all about the viewer response, stating to fans (or non-fans) on Twitter that “You guys successfully hated it out of existence.” While Reese is partly to blame for a so-so final product, he does have a point, given the overwhelming and unjustified negative response from fans of the film before the pilot was even released. For some reason, the fact that the characters from the film were being played by different actors really rubbed some people the wrong way, although the practice has been done dozens upon dozens of times with other movies that were turned into TV shows — some, like M*A*S*H, Alice, The Odd Couple, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Dead Zone and Fame, quite successfully. Although I thought the Zombieland pilot was just OK, I would’ve liked to see the series get a chance to find its way…but it appears to be a dead show walking.
