ACCIDENTAL SEQUEL ALERT!

If anticipation for the David Fincher's The Social Network wasn't already high enough (or at least I assume it is; I haven't really spoke to anyone about it), this Spanish poster has just added a completely new layer of enjoyment for me.

500 Million Amigos? Now there's an awesome idea for a sequel. Now, I know that little Mexican town did their best at the end of Three Amigos, but I think they're going to need a hell of a lot more black cloth and white piping this time.

THE WALKING DEAD opening credits

Of all the great things that have happened in cinemas this year, none of them have made me anywhere near as excited as the prospect of the Walking Dead TV series. Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, it premieres in America on Halloween night and we should see it on FX a couple of weeks later. So far there's been a Comic-con teaser trailer released that explained the basic set up of the show (Zombies are eating people), but then this juicy little video found its way onto the net yesterday.

Surprisingly, this video is NOT real, and is just the work of a fantastically gifted animator. Now, I've not seen the real opening credits yet, but if I were the producers of the show, I'd ditch whatever I had lined up as an opening sequence and adopt this immediately. It may just be a fan video, but it's of such a high quality that I thought it must be the real deal as soon as I saw it. It's appreciative of the source material and style of animation, and tells you everything you need to know about the show in under a minute.

CHRONOLYNCHICAL

I was recently asked by Adam over at hopelies.com if I wanted to contribute to a series of David Lynch reviews he was putting together. It's all part of a grander scheme called CHRONOLYNCHICAL that aims to document David Lynch's filmography and perhaps re-appraise some of the films that may have been overshadowed by others. Of course I said yes to the offer, so click on the image below to read what my thoughts are about 1997's Lost Highway.

I recommend you check out the other articles too, as there's some interesting looks at other David Lynch oddities. Feel free to leave any comments or feedback at the bottom of the article.

CELLULOID SCREAMS

The annual Sheffield horror film festival Celluloid Screams will be kicking off in exactly one months time, so here's a nice little teaser trailer that's been put together for the event. Even if you can't make it to the festival, the trailer's totally worth a watch.

Honestly, that's pretty much what Sheffield is like on a day to day basis. If you want to know about screenings for the festival that runs between 22-24 October, I suggest you check out www.celluloidscreams.co.uk for all the up to date information.

Obscurity Files #24 - Blackout

Obscurity Files aims to put the spotlight onto a series of films that time and audiences have otherwise forgotten. With M Night Shyamalan's Devil currently in cinemas, I thought I'd take a look at another film set in an elevator. Today it's 2007's Blackout.
