Back To The Future

Ok, now this is just a game mod that someone made that I came across over at AICN. But how awesome is this? If you said, "Straight fucking awesome", you'd be right. I think a Back to the Future game would be awesome. You'd be driving along then jump time and end up in the same place you were but however many years off. That's super cool. You could include missions that change time for the better and try to get stuff that will improve the Delorean as you go along. Even something like Doc Brown was working on an experiment and because he's Doc Brown everything went haywire and now there are parts scattered throughout the timeline. That's plausible. Anyway, again, this isn't' a game in development, just a mod. But after seeing what a mod can do, I really want a full game!!!

Caprica Trailer

So there's a new TV trailer out for SyFy's new Battlestar Galactica spinoff, Caprica. In the trailer we see some pretty confusing stuff and a lot is said about choices. I didn't really follow it, but I'm also super hungover...

Tanit Phoenix To Cry Little Sister

Well, as long as Lost Boys: The Thirst is filming in South Africa, why not add a local hottie to the cast? That's just what they've done.

Tanit Phoenix (More than likely her birth name) has just joined the 3rd installment of The Lost Boys franchise. Her role will be Gwen, a well off romance book author who hits up Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) to help her find a lost family member gone missing.

You may know Phoenix from Lord of War, or Gallowalker. She joins the cast of Feldman, Jamison Newlander, Sean Cameron Michael and Seb Catang for the Dario Piana directed film. Now as you may recall Jamison Newlander was one of the Frog brothers. I think the last film hinted that he had turned into a vampire lord, so it will be interesting to see if they address that or if it's just glanced over. The film is due out on DVD next year.

Christopher Walken

Well, as we draw into another weekend, I leave you with the greatest video ever. Christopher Walken kind of singing Lady GaGa's Poker Face.

Defendor

The past few years haven't given us much from Woody Harrelson. Seems he dropped off of the Hollywood map to become an environmentalist. Well, he's back and in a big way. By now you should have already seen Zombieland, and yes, it was awesome. But do you know about his new movie? Probably not. That's why I'm writing this.

Harrelson returns in Defendor, his wannabe superhero film that was picked up by Sony Pictures after it's screening at Toronto Film Festival.

Harrelson recently had an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and had this to say about Defendor; "It's a guy who's mildly retarded who thinks he's a superhero, only, of course, bullets don't bounce off and he gets beat up all the time. He's trying to fight crime and falls in love with this girl, played wonderfully by Kat Dennings, who's a crack whore. Peter Stebbings wrote and directed it; he's an actor. I was surprised how good it turned out, and luckily Sony thought so too, because they picked it up."

Harrelson plays Arthur Poppington, AKA Defendor, who is set on taking down Captain Industry, who may or may not exist. And he's in love with a crack whore.

Sign me up. This sounds awesome. It's great to have Woody back making movies.

Dollhouse Canceled

In news more frustrating than it is surprising, FOX has canceled Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. This marks the second time that FOX has canceled a Whedon show due to low ratings after placing it in it's moratorium Friday night spot. The first time of course, was Firefly.

Dollhouse featured a pretty cool show to show plot about a group of operatives who could be programed to be anyone for whatever they were hired out to do, then returned to the mentality of docile children when they came back to The Dollhouse after the missions end. The overarching season one story was about Alpha, the one Doll who maintained aspects of his different installed personalities, and became a super-solider psycho. All this happened while Echo, the main Doll, played by Eliza Dushku, started to retain imprinted personalities as well. The show really kicked ass.

FOX plans to run the remaining 8 episodes of the 13 episode 2nd season. Whedon has stated that he would like to return to more internet work, his most famous being Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog.

Modern Warfare 2

Today marks the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Thom's already got it and I'll have it in a few hours. So go pick it up then meet us online, he's Rexdaisy and I'm Halocrack777 on Xbox Live. See you in the warzone.

Hatchet 2

MySpace's official page for Victor Crowley recently added this teaser image.

While it also hints at casting that is being done for the film, other than the 2010 promise, there is still no official release date for the follow-up to one of the most beloved slasher films of the last 10 years.

The original Hatchet followed in the vein of Behind the Mask, in it's attempt to create new slashers, along the lines of Freddy, Jason and Michael, without being a remake of something. Hatchet was awesome and a really fun ride. I can't wait to see what they do with the sequel.

Black Cat In Spider Man 4

The past year has seen more Spider Man 4 rumors flying around the web than there are sorority girls at a Dave Matthews concert. But finally one piece of the puzzle has been confirmed.

There will again be two villains in the next Spider Man chapter, and one of them will be The Black Cat. Also released is that Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers, Sherlock Holmes) is one of the top contenders for the role of Felicia Hardy, aka The Black Cat.

Well, cool. While Spider Man 3 was a cluster fuck of villains, hopefully Rami and the crew will learn from it and be able to make a more interesting film this time out. Plus as most fans would know, Black Cat is similar to Catwoman in way too many ways. One of the biggest similarities being that The Cat usually ends up helping Spider Man, so it could easily be that she starts a villain, but ends up helping Spidey defeat another villain in an anti-hero turn.

But that's just speculation on my part. I'm kind of excited to see where the Spider Man news takes us. Knock this one out of the park, Sam!

Freddy The Doll

Freddy Krueger has gone a long way in his storied carrier. First a child killer, burned alive by an angry community demanding justice. Then a nightmare demon who kills teenagers in there sleep. For a short time, the host of a pretty awful TV show. And occasionally a character in really terrible video games.

But all that was just a warm up to this; Freddy the Child's Toy.

That's right, this April you can have your very own Freddy Krueger doll. Living Dead Dolls and Mighty Muggs have both created there own Dream Demon sculpts and above are the results. What's a better gift to the child in your life than a doll based on someone who would want to touch their no-no bits if he was alive.

The hype continues for the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, coming this April.

What if the Sith Won?

That is the question posed at the end of the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Ultimate Sith Edition. Pretty sweet, huh?

Well, from what I can tell, Lucasfilms has re-released The Force Unleashed, now with 3 bonus levels. From the looks of things, the game continues after The Apprentice strikes down Darth Vader and starts to mop up The Empires dirty laundry. From the looks of the trailer, The Apprentice is going after Boba Fett, Obi Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.

Awesome. Sure the first version of the game had it's flaws, but I loved it anyway. While the whole re-packaging of a game is kind of lame, I like how they're taking it out of just the "story you didn't know" universe and adding in a "fuck with the timeline" story.

Here's the trailer...

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done

Here's the poster for the new Werner Herzog film, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done.

The film, produced by David Lynch, follows the story of a man who kills his mother with a sword while acting out a Sophocles play. It's based on a true story.

The film features, Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, Udo Kier and Michael Pena. Only Michael Shannon has a non-weird name.

On December 11th, the movie opens at New Yorks IFC Center, then to select theaters after.

This sounds damn cool and weird. While I'm sure that it will play nowhere near me, I'll really be looking for this on the home release. If the plot alone hasn't drawn you in, here's the trailer. Man, Werner Herzog produced by David Lynch. Yep. This isn't one that you're going to be able to watch only once and fully appreciate.

Dr Who Animated Series

Dr Who fans have something new to look forward to. BBC Red Button will be airing a six-part animated Dr Who series starting on November 21st. The show will also be available on the site bbc.co.uk/doctorwho

Called Dreamland and described as a Dr Who meets a 50's B-Movie monster, the show will find the Doctor landing the TARDIS in the desert in the southern US. At a local diner the Doctor will find a strange alien artifact and that will lead him to Area 51, aka Dreamland.

This Dr Who outing will be penned by Phil Ford (Torchwood, Dr Who) and sounds like a pretty damn cool idea to me. So even though the show will not be immediately and legally available outside of the UK when it comes out, I'm sure some internet searching will be all you need to keep up on this cool sounding, kind of campy new Dr Who adventure.

Hellraiser Remake Still Moving Forward

Even though there is still no director attached to the film, Dimension Films states that their Hellraiser remake in 3D is still on track.

I guess that's a good thing, they've already remade A Nightmare on Elm Street, why not hit up one my other two favorite horror films, Hellraiser. And while you're at it, re-vamp Re-Animator, go for the trifecta. Actually, I've heard that there is a Re-Animator remake in the works too.

So, while the film would seem fairly adrift at sea, Dimension is not giving up on a new Hellraiser. Here's to hoping that it's super cool.

Star Wars Love Ballad

Yep, yet another "dear God" Star Wars video. This one is an 80's style love ballad about Luke and Leia. It's pretty funny and creepy considering that they are brother and sister. And yes, he does say "my lightsaber's burning". Super creepy...

Guy Fawkes Day

Remember, remember the fifth of November,

The gunpowder treason and plot,

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.


The Nothing Files would like to wish everyone a happy Guy Fawkes Day and Guy Fawkes night.
