Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich Blade

Killer dolls seem to be all the rage. Annabelle is coming back for a third time and Chucky is being resurrected for the millionth. Among the toy collection lies one set of demonic toys that standout from the rest: Puppet Master. The campy 1989 cult classic has become a fan favorite thanks to the over-the-top kills. The memorable, individualistic, dolls will be hitting theaters late August with Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich.

Announced via their official twitter page, Cinestate released the premiere dates for the newest entry in the longstanding franchise, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. This will mark the first time a Puppet Master film makes it to the big screen.  

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich will have a limited theatrical run but will be available On-Demand as of August 17.

This new reimagining will still have ties to the Full Moon Company with guidance from the founder, Charles Band.  RLJ Entertainment acquired the rights and distribution to the films.

Sonny Laguna and Tommy Wiklund will direct. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian produced Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich for Bonaventura Pictures. Dallas Sonnier and Jack Heller are also producing for Caliber. S. Craig Zahler penned the script.

Zahler is best known for writing and directing the star-studded Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99, both of which have been ranked certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

“We couldn’t be more excited to take the series in a new direction while embracing all the practical effects and terrifying insanity that fans of the Puppet Master films love,” said Heller to The Hollywood Reporter.

According to ScreenRant, the film centers around a young man who finds a mint-condition Blade toy in his recently deceased brother’s closet. While trying to sell the doll at a toy convention in Oregon, mayhem ensues. The convention also marks the 30th anniversary of the “Toulon Murders,” which is also being celebrated. Something awakens Blade and the other puppets hanging around Postville Lodge and the blood bath begins.

“As a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I spent a vast majority of my allowance on Charles Band-produced films,” said Sonnier to the Hollywood Reporter. “Puppet Master was hands-down my favorite, and I had the movie poster on my wall and a giant standee in my bedroom. The chance to work with Lorenzo, Zahler and Band all at once on this new take is simply a dream come true.”

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
