TNT President Talks More on Canceled ‘Tales From the Crypt’ Reboot

Published

on

The Tales From the Crypt reboot, announced more than a year ago, has been a mess from the start. From uprise about who is directing it to the identity of the iconic Cryptkeeper to an eventual cancellation, has been a whirlwind of controversy since the initial announcement. It’s now been shelved – and this is either great news or bad news depending on how you feel about M. Night Shyamalan and reboots in general.

TNT President Reilly recently spoke more about the canceled anthology series, giving us a bit more information as to just why the show will not be going forward. From Deadline:

It’s been fun with lawyers, it’s been really fun … We did not know from the get-go or else we would not have announced it and made a big deal out of it. But in fact there were rights. It is among the most — if not the most — complicated rights structure I’ve ever seen in my career, and we had no idea as we got into it. It became a nightmare. So we said, ‘Fine.’ If and when this gets cleaned up, we’ll revisit.

While it’s unfortunate that the reasons are due to such a complicated rights structure, it also does not seem particularly surprising. Between the myriad of writers, HBO, and EC Comics, it’s hard to imagine that such a thing would ever be considered an easy project. It doesn’t exactly seem like they’re done with the project forever – Reilly has stated numerous times that maybe one day it will be a possibility – but it doesn’t appear as if getting the project out of the grave is a top priority. Which, if that’s the case, is maybe for the better. If a reboot for such a classic series is to be done, it needs to be done wholeheartedly; otherwise, what’s the point?

Although Reilly does make a good point about his regrets about announcing the new Tales From the Crypt series, he may be overlooking a timeless saying in show biz: “any press is good press.”

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
