New Trailer Reveals ‘Penny Dreadful’ Continues This October in Comic Form

Published

on

Penny Dreadful continues in comic book form.

After only three seasons the cult-hit show, Penny Dreadful came to an alarming end. It was a sudden blow for us fans. We were not expecting the stories to be over, after all, in last season we learned of the discovery of Imhotep, and anyone familiar with old classic horror will recognize that name. The Mummy!

The Mummy was going to be part of our lives through the events of the Penny Dreadful. And honestly I would love to have seen the way they presented him.

Then the show was canceled prematurely and we were left with an admittedly rushed ending, but nevertheless stylish and well done, all things considered. It was a proper farewell to the show, one that lingered on an autumn funeral. And that’s sadly how it felt – we were gathered to pay our respects to a beautiful show that had been very much a  part of our lives for the past few years, but was now no more.

For three years, fans dedicated their time to faithfully join in the harrowing ventures of Vanessa Ives (Eva Green), Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), and Sir Malcom Murray (Timothy Dalton) as they faced the rising shadows of awakening malevolence stirring in their midst. The show was bold and pitted the heroes against some of the most well-known evils among us – Satan and Dracula.

According to Penny Dreadful, both Satan and Dracula were brothers who led a violent rebellion in Heaven. Both were equal in power and cunning, and both were hurled from the Kingdom of Heaven. One was sent to Hell to reign in flames and feed off human souls. The other was cast down to Earth to reign in nocturnal shadows and feast on human blood, for the blood is the life.

Through each season, the hunt for Dracula was on. As they progressed, the heroes also had to deal with many of their own jaded pasts and attached demons. In a few cases, the demons would tear through them and leave wet piles of human entrails nested in spilled blood in their wake. Often times the heroes were not so noble, and they caused almost as much calamity as the demons they sought.

Just like Hannibal, it was sad to see a quality horror show fade away too soon. There was still plenty left to tell.

That’s why Chris King, the former co-producer of the show, has teamed up with Titan Comics to bring us more of the story we deserve. The synopsis of the story is as follows:

“THE SELL-OUT AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COMIC SERIES RETURNS! CONTINUES THE STORY DIRECTLY AFTER THE DEVASTATING EVENTS OF PENNY DREADFUL’S SEASON THREE TV FINALE! Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) finds himself unable to move on. As he searches desperately for meaning in a world without Vanessa (Eva Green), ancient words echo across the centuries, and he is called on once again to take up arms against the creatures crawling out of the night.” – ComicBook Round Up

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.

28 Days Later

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.
