DRAG ME TO HELL -- Opens Friday May 29th 2009

"Drag Me to Hell" with Alison Lohman & Justin Long

Christine Brown is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, Professor Clay Dalton. Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks, and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home. In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?
Cast: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao, David Paymer

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that both Rooney Mara and Thomas Dekker (From Within, Laid to Rest, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles") will be starring in New Line's re-imagined A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, being directed by Samuel Bayer and produced by Platinum Dunes.

"Nightmare" is slated to begin shooting May 5 in Chicago. Lutz played Emmett Cullen in "Twilight," a role he is reprising for the sequel, "New Moon," which is shooting in Vancouver.

Gersh-repped Mara, the sister of Kate Mara, has "The Winning Season" with Sam Rockwell and "Youth in Revolt" with Michael Cera coming out this year.A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is coming in theaters April 16, 2010.

Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 a wrap

With principal photography on Rob Zombie's H2: HALLOWEEN 2 set to wrap-up this week, more info on the film is starting to surface. Rumor has it that we may see a trailer very soon, and Zombie himself checked in on MySpace again with another update. Over at Dread Central, news from the set of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN II indicates that everyone's favorite babysitter killer, the Shape, will in fact be maskless for up to 70% of the new movie. Their source spoke with several key members of the film's production crew including special effects genius, Wayne Toth, producer Andy Gould, and even Malek Akkad himself--who all confirmed that Michael Myers will in fact be going maskless for "a great portion" of the sequel. The notion that his version of Myers being vastly different from Carpenter's rendition should not be that big of a surprise to fans.
