Congo
During a recent interview with Bloody-Disgusting, Backwoods and Out Come the Wolves director Adam MacDonald revealed he’s interested in helming a remake of Congo.
Oh yeah. I want to remake Congo, given the chance. Of course. Cujo, maybe never. I don’t know if they want to do dogs ever again, but Congo, I think it’s about time that they bring that back up. A more grounded, gritty, intense version. But they’d be like, ‘Oh, we’re never going to do that because we have the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and everything. We’re not going to do another.’ There’s room for Congo.
Clown in a Cornfield
Bloody-Disgusting also reports Eli Craig’s upcoming film adaptation of Clown in a Cornfield has been rated “R” for “bloody horror violence, language throughout and teen drinking.”
The Toxic Avenger
In conversation with Collider, Peter Dinklage suggested fans “write to [thier] congressman” to see the release of his shelved Toxic Avenger remake.
My friend Macon Blair, the writer-director of Toxic Avenger also plays Malachai in The Thicket. I love working with that man, I would do every movie with him if I could. But fingers crossed, it’ll see cinemas soon. Write to your congressmen. I don’t know what you do in this situation.
