Cronenberg Returns to Horror?

David Cronenberg recently did an interview with Wired about his EASTERN PROMISES, but where the director also mentioned that he might return to the horror genre some day. Cronenberg told the trade: "I know fans have nostalgia for the movies that they grew up with," he says, "but to redo that would be boring. On the other hand, I wouldn't ever rule out doing another sci-fi or horror film as a matter of course. If something came along that was intriguing and challenging, I wouldn't hesitate." If you have the least bit of interest in the man who deilvered such awesome flicks as THE FLY, THE BROOD, VIDEODROME, SCANNERS and lots more, you should check out the full interview right here.

Emmemax Films Moves Forward with The Mirrors of Longreach Mansion

Emmemax Films (EMF) announces the development of it's second feature film, titled The Mirrors of Longreach Mansion.

The Mirrors is a supernatural suspense that takes place on an island between the U.S./Canadian border. The mansion is 300 years old and inside every wall is covered with mirrors from floor to ceiling. No two mirrors are alike. Each mirror frame details the life story of the soul that is trapped inside the mirror. The only way the spirit can be released is by breaking the glass. It's a new twist on the ten years bad luck brought on by breaking a mirror. With a rambunctious family just moving in, they find it difficult to not break a mirror or two. The Mirrors of Longreach Mansion will be directed by Michael Coonce from his original screenplay in 2008.

Emmemax Films is currently in Post-production of its first feature, LONELY JOE. EMF is currently in talks with After Dark Films and Lionsgate for a potential November 2008 theatrical release.

LONELY JOE is a supernatural thriller based on true events that took place in South Texas about 20 years ago. A series of bizarre murders and disappearances inspire a haunting curiosity that drives newspaper reporter Michele Connelly (played by Erica Leerhsen) back to her hometown of Solvay, NY after 10 years to uncover what is truly happening on the railroad tracks behind Joe Gainard's (played by David Fine) old farm. Hoping to discover the truth behind a decade of cover-ups and disappearances, she is stonewalled by several people along the way who would prefer that these tragedies remain a mystery.

Check out Emmemax Films here, and the official LONELY JOE site here.

Green talks HATCHET 2

Fango had a chat with HATCHET director Adam Green who spoke about the possibilities of us seeing a HATCHET 2 in the future. Green said, "The way I left HATCHET open to sequels was by purposely leaving a lot of questions unanswered," and continues, "I have had a lot of people ask me if Victor Crowley really died or if he is a ghost or the undead. I left all of that ambiguous so that if there is a sequel, it will be its own film and not just Victor Crowley killing people again. We will go into the backstory with the next movie."

Green said he hopes to do HATCHET 2 and if he does he hopes that Kane Hodder will return to play Crowley once again. When it comes to making the sequel Green said, "It all comes down to when it happens and if I’m available, as well as what the terms are, because often when they make these movies and realize they have a cult following, they try to cheap out in a lot of areas. You know, the budget becomes smaller because they’re afraid that no one really cares or they don’t pay what they need to in order to bring certain actors back." More on HATCHET 2 when it happens.
