Arach Attack, is the name of a Centropolis/Village Roadshow, co-production. It's all about GIANT SPIDERS that start appearing after a toxic spill (scientifically for this to occur the spider must get some lungs, as Spiders breathe through their skin, hence spray will kill them). The film will have a budget of 30 million and will be shot in AUSTRALIA. The film will begin shooting in September under the direction of Elloroy Elkayem (They Nest). Devlin and Emmerich will produce, whilst centropolis effects will handle the effects. (CSO) (HFA NEWS) Australian director Jamie Blanks (attached to Resident Evil and director of Urban Legend) is about to start work on a romantic horror film. "VALENTINE: A Novel" is the title of the piece The book tells the story of an unpopular college freshman geek named Victor DiMorta. Four young women pull a vicious practical joke on DiMorta which results in his being expelled as well as becoming murderous and doing in his abusive parents. Years later, after having served his time in prison, the grown Victor gets plastic surgery that makes him handsome. He then seeks out the women who ruined his life to exact his revenge. Doesn't sound too romantic to me, sounds more like a REVENGE film. Which is cool. Warner Bros. is producing the film with hopes at casting the next best teen actors, and the script was written by Donna and Wayne Powers. With Re-writes by Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg. (CSO) (HFA NEWS) New website for "The Sixth Sense" www.thesixthsense.com . The film is now the 10th highest grossing film of all time, it just passed Empire Strikes Back. (HFA NEWS)
  The official site for Denmark Made film Flænset is now up and running. It is all in another language unfortunately, but I'm sure you can get the jist of the film from the web site. Kathleen Turner is being considered for a part in Jurassic Park 3, which will be directed by Joe Johnston. The production of the film has been moved from New Zealand to the Hawaii island of Maui. When Johnston was asked about the script and plot he had the following to say, "The script is being rewritten by William Goldman because of some minor problems with the plot. You asked me about the plot, and…eh. All I can say is that it isn´t a prequel to the first movie, but a new and more independent story which stands alone. Expect more dinosaurs and more plot!". (DH) (HFA NEWS) Slasher News and Upcoming Horror Movies are reporting on Candyman 4, The plot continues with Donna D'Erico, and her boyfriend at college and a new legend involving Candyman evolves and murders begin to happen again, which unleashes Candyman, but this time in a new form, and a different person. There is still no director or cast yet. If 'Candyman 4' is made, Artisan Entertainment will most likely release it. I sense yet another mindless sequel. (UPC) (HFA NEWS) UNDONE, a story about a man who is haunted by the ghost of his wife's x-husband, has been purchased for a mid-six figure sum by Disney. The script has been written by Seth E. Bass and Johnathon Tollins. David Kirschner and Corey Sienega will produces the film. Disney execs, Nina Jacobson and Mark Vahradian will oversee the project. (UPC) (HFA NEWS) Some plot information on Shyalmalan's UNBREAKABLE project has come to light on Cinescape. Disney is claiming that the film is a superhero film, hence the reason for them not making POWER and GLORY a superhero film flying around. (CSO) (HFA NEWS) Michael Rooker has officially signed onto THE REPLICANT, the film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. (CSO) (HFA NEWS)
Gwyneth Platrow will be tracking down a Cannibalistic Serial killer (not Hannibal), the film will be directed by Tony Scott (True Romance, Top Gun), for Warner Bros. The film is titled "Taking Lives". (UPC) (HFA NEWS) Director Pho-Chih Leong (The Wisdom of Crocodiles) will be making a film for MGM. The film is titled "Blood and Chocolate" and is based on the novel by Annette Curtis Clause. The screenplay adaption has been done by Christopher Landon, who is the son of Michael Landon (The original Teenage wereWolf). The story revolves around a teenage female werewolf that falls in love with a normal by, this kind of peeves off the rest of the pack, so usual jealous hooplah will come out of this ala "American Werewolf in Paris", but I'm guessing, more TEENY. (CSO) (HFA NEWS)
 Diabolical Dominion has posted a picture of one of the actresses from JASON X in their news brief on the casting. I'm not exactly sure of her name but she's purity. TED from DD says her name is "Lexa Doig, who will be playing JASON X's lead character, Rowen. She's amazing..."(DD) (HFA NEWS) The Others directed by Academy Award Winner Alejandro Amenábar (Academy Award Winner as of the other day for best foreign film), will begin production in the northern Spanish city of Santander at the end of May. The film is a Spanish/ French Co-production and will likely be distributed by Miramax. (DH) (HFA NEWS) GHOSTS OF MARS, is set to star Courtney Love and Ice Cube. The film is more than likely set to be released in 2001, the year not the movie. (DD) (HFA NEWS)    The official site for THE SKULLS is open at www.theskulls.net and it does not look as gritty as it has been built up to be. A PG can't mean a gritty film, can it?? There are plenty of pictures and things there to browse through.. But it looks like it left the horror boat some where?? (HFA NEWS)
It's all Academy Awards Hangover Update.. Well they are actually just screening here in Australia while I type this.. But the answers have been online for half the day now. How did HORROR go?? In a year when Horror seemed to have more best actor/actress nominations than ever before, there was a failure in the voting some place. However Horror did pick up some R&D type awards (wiping the floor was THE MATRIX, to bad star wars:) and pre and post production awards. Film Editing - The Matrix Sound - The Matrix Visual Effects - The Matrix Art Direction - Sleepy Hollow Great to see Sleepy Hollow grabbing and award. Both "The Matrix" and "Sleepy Hollow" were stunning visually. Might just add that 2 of the above Academy Awards for "The Matrix" were part owned by Australians (sound and visual effects). An on the set report from "The Impostor"
popped up on Darkhorizons: There is information on the trailer from "The
Cell": I think I heard amongst all the Oscar stuff one of the Aussie winners
mention that THE MATRIX trilogy will not be
shot in Australia. I blame the Howard Government and the people that voted
for him. The New Tax system will see the production move off shore where
they will pay 20% less in TAXES. I knew the GST would do this. This thing
will kill cultural film making and any chance of a national cinema in Australia
as the price of tickets will rise causing people to go and see less films.
Knowing the Australian viewing public, (who average seeing 1 Australian
film out of every 100 films they see) will more than likely choose only
the blockbusters at the cinema. Will there be exemptions.. Well who knows..
All that I know is, that as a horror fan I'm sure now like Australian cinema,
niche marketed and genre based films will have less of a chance of making
it to the big screen down here because they will become to much of a risk.
I hope July 2000 never comes. There have been changes to JASON X, according
to Upcoming Horror Movies .com. "Also there was changes on Jason X script. Now 'Jason X' have the biggest bodycount of any horror movie!" (UPC) (HFA NEWS)  Really Scary came across this cool thing today. Seems Jason never really gives up. MATCHBOX is putting out a horror line.. This is the JASON one, the station wagon he is attacking reads "Crystal Lake- Camp Counsellour". There is a FREDDY one out as well, with FREDDY on top of a VAN that reads "Springfield Boiler Maintenance- Since 1984". They are available at TARGET and TOYS R. US in the US. (RS) For some unkown reason the CUT unofficial website was down for some time the other day. It is working fine today.
According to Upcoming Horror Movies.com CENTROPOLIS is at work at something that sounds pretty cool. "Centropolis Entertainment offered $350,000 for Jesse Alexander's 'Dead Man's Run.'

 STOP IT, YOU'RE KILLING ME review No more entries for the POSTER and SOUNDTRACK competition. Well the first competition anyhow. The winning entry came from a guy called TODD from LOS ANGELES California, at 3.27 am MARCH 24, 2000 it follows. "I haven't seen the film (I'm looking forward to its US release in August), but I'm guessing Kimble's cameo is his hand as he kills someone (probably a woman), as was Argento's traditional cameo in his films." Kimble Rendall is going to be putting your prize in the mail shortly TODD. However, Kimble is not totally satisfied with the answer. The question still revolves around the hand cameo. It is correct that it is a hand. But which hand? (in CUT is KIMBLE RENDALL's)
    More AMERICAN PSYCHO pictures c/o CSO (CSO) (HFA NEWS) Producer Joel Silver has said the following about the MATRIX SEQUELS, ", "Yes, we're going to do Parts 2 and 3 together. We'll start shooting about a year from now and we're essentially going to make one giant movie that will then be cut at a moment of, hopefully, a very exciting cliffhanger. All of the characters will be back, [though] I don't know about Joe Pantoliano's character. He keeps saying he didn't really die, but not in the movie that I saw." (CSO) (HFA NEWS) MIMIC 2 will be directed by Jean de Segonza better known as a DOP. The shoot will start in LA in MAY. The film will focus on the character of REMY who will now take on the big bugs.

According to a scooper at Darkhorizons "The LOST GIRLS" is not so much of a rumour but a fact. Which is a pity I wsa counting on LOST BOYS: The Coldest of HEARTS to be the sequel to Lost Boys. Anyhows the scooper at DH had this to say. "THE LOST GIRLS is not just a rumor, it's in development over at Warner Bros. Joel Schumacher and Village Roadshow are producing (no word on whether Schumacher plans to direct), and the project is being apparently overseen by WB execs Basil Iwantyk and Aditya Sood. There is no script as of yet, WB is looking for a writer. There is also no word on whether the story will be a sequel, or if it will simply be a remake of THE LOST BOYS but with girls." Very interesting. (DH) (HFA NEWS) 13 Ghosts sounds like it will be a bit of fun. There is talk of including special scenes that require glasses to see certain things on the screen, like GHOSTS perhaps?? Who knows?? The original was in 3D but it does not look like this one will be. (DH) (HFA NEWS)

The doctor is now at large in Europe, pursuing his own interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguarded world. But FBI agent Clarice Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still haunts her dreams. But Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. Verger was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and, though hideously disfigured, has survived to rule a vast financial empire.

Big Blair Witch 2 scoop day.. Oh I'd call it more of a leak.. I got sent the following URL. http://users.erols.com/worldband/bw2.html . I guess you could say it's the best publicity for the film yet.

The other thing that has turned up is a copy of DIRECTIONS to COFFIN ROCK. Those that are HARDCORE fans of theoriginal would already have a copy of these as ED and DAN the crafty folks at HAXAN FILMS posted them in a HIDDEN links on the original HAXAN website.

Sorry for the gap between updates. The CUT UNOFFICIAL site has been keeping me busy over the weekend. The ARNIE cloning film "The Sixth Day" has had a trailer cut together. According to a scooper at DH the trailer was like this: The Sixth Day: Allow me to describe the trailer from beginning to end. First off, there was what seemed to be a commercial off of a TV. The commercial was talking about how, now you can clone your pets and have your pet back that died. It showed clips of puppies and kittens. Then the screen went black and they showed the movie title, which was, "The Sixth Day", not, "On The Sixth Day." It looked really cool. After that they showed a lot of action, such as gunfire, car chasing, and, running. Then there was a part where Arnold (Adam) was hiding behind something watching a cloned Arnold (Adam) kissing Arnold's character's wife and hugging his child. Then there was a clip of Arnold's mug, looking very mad! After That there was a line when Arnold said, "They cloned the wrong guy". There was hard rock music in the background throughout the preview. At the end it said, "This Fall." I think it looked awesome and it impress everyone in the auditorium watching it for the first time. I loved it! Arnold seemed real excited about it and he will finish filming at the end of this month! How I love ACTION horror-eesque stuff. Anyone thinking this will be more like FACE-OFF than anything else??? (DH) (HFA NEWS) BAD MOON RISING a script by ROSENBERG that I've been keeping an eye on. Looks like it will be finally made by NEW LINE.

Reports say that Ehren Kruger (who has just finished a polish on the latest "Hellraiser" film and some film entitled "Firewalker") has been tapped to re-write "Bad Moon Rising". Since Dimension gave Scream the swan song last month they are reportedly looking for a new franchise to satisfy the young horror audience. Drew Barrymore who is currently shooting Charlie's Angels is still heavily interested in the project as well. Cool news I guess. (DH) (HFA NEWS) Roger Avery has written a script for PHANTASM PHIVE
(5) according to CSO this is the description. "1999. It's been years since Reggie last fought The Tall Man, and things have changed in a big way. Little by little over the years, The Tall Man has decimated the countryside, turning towns into tombs. No longer content with that, he has made his move upon America's cities, and like a demented game of connect the dots, has slowly taken over a large portion of the US. This area is now the walled in plague zone, which lies between the new east and west coastes - New York and California. "The Tall Mans dwarf-crunching operation has always been a messy process, and now the thousands-per day proccessing operation has spawned a plague: the bag plague - yellow blood with a contagious virus. Come in contact with the yellow blood, and you're a goner. The victims - baggers - live their un-lives in the zone, forever carrying the deadly contamination. "By taking over such a large portion of city and country, The Tall Man is no longer a creature operating from the shadows, unknown to the world. Everything sure is getting noticed now. Fugitives can even trade in their lives to enter the flyover zone and fend for themselves. Jail was never more attractive. "Mike is trapped within the zone in the Mormon Mausoleum - a huge, sprawling industrial mortuary where The Tall Man resides and builds his army to greater numbers. But another army - the US Army, send in a team of troops to take him down. Not knowing the extent and mystery of The Tall Man and his minions, they need help, fast. Help comes in the form of Reggie, who has penetrated the zone to go for Mike. Reggie and the team hook up, and they bust down the Mormon Mausoleum, eventually ending up in the red planet, where revelations and final battles lie." (CSO) (HFA NEWS)

Michael Rymer the director states that the film will "follow Lestat as he becomes a rock star whose music wakes up Akasha, the queen of all vampires. In the process, a young woman who works as a vampire hunter falls in love with him.". Hence Korn in the soundtrack. The filming will start Downunder as early as this year. I mean if you were to be a rock star what better place than Australia?? (HO) (HFA NEWS) CUT soundtrack has been announced, there
are also 4 new clips
in Streaming media available to download. These are the sources I get the info from, I
add my own slant to them, however I use the NEWS as gathered from below.
Unless stated otherwise.
