Hemlock Grove follows house of Cards as an American Gothic style horror drama whose 13 episodes will be available Friday the 19th April for streaming. The Netflix series has Eli Roth at the helm… it looks like a True Blood/American Horror Story rip-off… and I didn’t like the stealing of the classic Kurt Russell line from The Thing at the end. Still, I’ll give it a look…

This summer nobody can get in. Nobody can get out. The town of Chester’s Mill is trapped. Stephen King takes us behind the scenes for a first look of ‘Under the Dome’. The series begins this June on CBS.
DEADLINE EXCLUSIVE: Summit Entertainment has brought Barbara Marshall on board to write Exorcism Diaries. The log line is being kept under wraps, but the film is inspired by the book The Real Story Behind The Exorcist by Mark Opsasnick. Exorcism Diaries is being produced by Roy Lee, Sonny Mallhi and Doug Davison. The project was originally acquired by Summit as a pitch by Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe. John Sacchi will oversee the project for the studio. Marshall’s breakthrough came when she made the 2012 Black List script Peste, which is being put together at IM Global.
With such a high bar set by the classic 1973 film, it’s difficult to see this being anything more than an Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Rite or The Last Exorcism at best…
Check out this pitch from Enzo Tedeshi, director of The Tunnel. Over 200 years into the future, Australia has once again become a prison. The world’s hardened criminals are sent to work at a facility kept in line by death squads. Adamson, a warden, is forced to follow questionable orders and is forced to make a life or death choice – but as just another part of the machine, does she really have a choice at all?
Glen Mazzara, who ran AMC’s smash hit series The Walking Dead for the past several seasons, will now focus on ghosts. He’s in talks to write The Overlook Hotel, a prequel to the Stanley Kubrick-directed The Shining, based on the Stephen King novel. The film is being developed at Warner Bros to be produced by Mythology Entertainment’s Bradley Fischer, James Vanderbilt and Laeta Kalogridis.
While King wasn’t crazy about the Kubrick movie, there are so many iconic images in that movie, and an outsized performance by Jack Nicholson, that this will be a tough act to follow. Mazzara is an interesting choice. He succeeded Frank Darabont on The Walking Dead, and while it seemed he clashed with graphic novel creator Robert Kirkman — he was dropped as showrunner in December — he did a fabulous job in moving forward and giving context to what Darabont started. I’ve never seen a series quite like it, and there are plenty of ghostly nuggets from the formative days of that haunted hotel that were dropped in the book and the Kubrick movie that make me eager to see what Mazzara does with this prequel. King, of course, has completed Doctor Sleep, a sequel to his The Shining novel that focuses on an adult Danny Torrance (the Redrum kid).
Supinfocom alumni Fx Goby, Matthieu Landour and Clement Bolla unite forces for their ‘reverse B-movie’ about a night watchman whose prank turns tragic when he gets stuck in a monster costume. Originally conceived as an animated short for Fx Goby’s Supinfocom graduation film, the directors decided that the comedic nature of Robert Ebb was much better suited to live action. As with last year’s seafood battle short Monster Roll, the trio required their staring monster to be more kitsch comedic than realistically terrifying. Ready to suspend your disbelief?

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station that is disguised as a massive floating city called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth.
