Prequels, Sequels & Remakes

Andy Fickman will "godfather" four of the eight Roseblood and Twisted Pictures remakes of RKO horror movies, directing at least one. The four titles that Fickman has made a deal for are Jacques Tourneur's I Walked With a Zombie (1943); Robert Wise's The Body Snatcher (1945); Mark Robson's Bedlam (1946); and John Farrow's Five Came Back (1939).

Warner Bros. has the rights to remake anime Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s anime movie Ninja Scroll as a live action. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way will produce, but he will not be acting in it. Alex Tse will write the script about a wandering sword for hire in feudal Japan who gets in the middle of a fight between the government and demons that has connections to his past.

The 18 straight to DVD titles Dimension plans to release in 2009 will include sequels to: Pulse, Children of the Corn, Feast, and Hell Ride.

Director McG made his first Terminator Salvation post in three months:
“We wrapped principal photography. Now we're heavy into post. I've already shown early cuts to Christian and Sam. They seem pleased with where the film is headed. Our focus is on story and character, but it's fun diving into the world of visual effects.”

Marc Foster says that he knows and asked fellow directors Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron to portray members of a fictional Bolivian army in Quantum of Solace.
