** THE BREED sequel: SCREAM VI star Hayden Panettiere will star in A BREED APART, the upcoming sequel/part re-imagining of the widely panned 2006 Wes Craven-produced horror feature THE BREED. Nicholas Mastandrea helmed the original film which follows two brothers and their friends who travel to an island cabin they inherited from their recently deceased uncle. Their getaway is soon spoiled when they find themselves besieged by ravenous genetically enhanced dogs bred to kill via an abandoned training facility on the island.
The new take isn't so much a remake as a meta-sequel as it is set after events of the first film. In it, a pack of dogs escape during the production of a fictional THE BREED 2 movie which is filming on a remote island. Years later, a group of YouTubers are drawn to that island to try and find the canines in a project they hope goes viral and which is the brainchild of influencer Vince Venture. They soon face a fight for survival and each of the influencers must use their unique skills to stay alive. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)
** THE BRIDE!: Peter Sarsgaard has revealed that his wife Maggie Gyllenhaal's new film THE BRIDE! will be a violent, punk, wildly romantic film that's also got song and dance sequences? Warner Bros. Pictures is releasing the film which stars Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley, Annette Bening, Penelope Cruz, John Mulaney, Sarsgaard and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The $80-100 million project has been dubbed a reimagination of James Whale's iconic 1935 classic BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN in which a lonely Frankenstein monster (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself.
The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Sarsgaard described the recently wrapped filming project which sounds quite wild:
"The Bride is punk, and it's fast and really emotional. Also, it's violent at times and it's wildly romantic… There are big dance numbers and stuff in the movie. I'm so happy with the way that Warner Bros. has supported Maggie on the movie, too… It's the best thing I've ever read. To me, it's both a big movie for adults and a big movie that's for teenagers. It's what everyone hopes for and tries to solve in making a big movie." (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)
