VH1’s new reality show Scream Queens is coming your way
By Dave | July 8, 2008
Reality television is everywhere, so why shouldn’t it infect the horror genre? VH1, producers of such quality shows as flavor of love and best week ever, bring you the next big reality show, Scream Queens.
Officially green lit last month, along with Lionsgate entertainment VH1 will be gathering 10 actresses to compete for a role in an upcoming movie. contestants will compete in a series of “zanny” challenges, be trained by acting coach John Homa and finely judged by a Lionsgate director who has yet to be named
though the first open casting call has passed (it was in Hollywood on June 21st) but if they don’t find enough bat-shit crazy, I mean qualified actresses then more open casting dated will be made. but that shouldn’t stop you from entering because VH1 is also accepting tape submissions (details here). once you have taped your submission you should also send a copy to drunken zombie; while it won’t help you with the reality show we might feature it in an upcoming video-cast. (submissions of Crazy Uncle Randy in a wig will not be accepted)
The series, consisting of eight hour long episodes, is set to premiere in the fall.

Drunken Zombie On Twitter
By Bryan | July 7, 2008
Because I seem to have a complusion for signing us up for meaningless stuff we’re now on Twitter. So if you are on Twitter I guess friend us or follow us or whatever in the hell it is. I saw a few other podcasts talking about it so I figured why not. we’ll probably get bored with it like we have most other things except MySpace but feel free to add us.

The Goon going from comic page to silver screen
By Dave | July 7, 2008
It seems like every comic is getting a movie latly and none more deserving then Eric Powell’s The Goon. The goon was optionedby David Fincher and BLUR Studios. threw Dark Horse Entertainment, Fincher and BLUR will be producing a CG feature of The Goon. With the success of Sin City and 300 I would hope that we would be seeing a live action adaptation of the goon that would mirror Powell’s signature art style, but if done right then CG will hopefully work just as well.
For those who haven’t read the series, It has my highest possible recommendation. centering around a large thuggish tough simply named goon, and his shrmpish but still dangerous sidekick Franky. the two battle denzins of creatures, mad alloy plated scientists, zombie priests and a skunk ape, while meeting the likes of Hellboy and satin’s s*** baby along the way. It’s a series that would probably be more suited for an HBO series rather then a motion picture but I sure ain’t complaining

ONE OF FILM’S HOLY GRAILS FOUND!!!
By Dave | July 3, 2008
their are a few things in the film world that we dream of but most likely will never come true, finding a print at all of Tod browning’s London after midnight , the 1908 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or King Kong in Edo, or uncovering the missing 108 episodes of Dr. Who, getting Andy Warhol’s Batman released on DVD and seeing a full cut of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. Well one of my dreams has finely come true! Apparently in a vault in Buenos Aires.
Film’s first Blockbuster costing an, at the time unheard of, 7 million to produce It Origionaly screened in Germany with a running time of 210 minutes, which was later cut down to 90 for US and other European audiences. though the keno project was able to track down and restore some of the film they were only able to get 118 minutes of the whole feature.
acording to ZEITmagazin:
Adolfo Z. Wilson, a man from Buenos Aires and head of the Terra film distribution company, arranged for a copy of the long version of “Metropolis” to be sent to Argentina in 1928 to show it in cinemas there. Shortly afterwards a film critic called Manuel Peña Rodríguez came into possession of the reels and added them to his private collection. In the 1960s Peña Rodríguez sold the film reels to Argentina’s National Art Fund – clearly nobody had yet realised the value of the reels. A copy of these reels passed into the collection of the Museo del Cine (Cinema Museum) in Buenos Aires in 1992, the curatorship of which was taken over by Paula Félix-Didier in January this year. Her ex-husband, director of the film department of the Museum of Latin American Art, first entertained the decisive suspicion: He had heard from the manager of a cinema club, who years before had been surprised by how long a screening of this film had taken. Together, Paula Félix-Didier and her ex-husband took a look at the film in her archive – and discovered the missing scenes.
This is truly a momentous occasion for film. Hopefully they will have the film restored in time for the Remake…oh, I made myself sad.

Not horror but still scary
By Rory | July 3, 2008
The Day the Earth Stood Still is a film a remember fondly watching as a child with my father. The fact that it’s actually an allegory for Christ’s final days was totally lost on me at the time but you don’t always need to get the subtext to enjoy a film. Now they’re remaking it and with Keanu Reeves as the alien (well he’s already played Buddha so why not Christ?). The trailer has been released and it looks… well, interesting. Take a peek and see for yourself.
