HOLLISTON from the mind of ADAM GREEN First Look!

Tony Todd (Candyman), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13 Part VII, HATCHET), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4), Director John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), and a slew of other horror-movie veterans will guest on FEARnet's Holliston, a new sitcom created by Hatchet filmmaker Adam Green.

The show, which debuts April 3, stars Green and his fellow real-life gore-teur Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, the forthcoming Knights of Badassdom) as a pair of cable-station employees who dream of becoming horror directors.  Other guests on the on the show's first season include Derek Mears (2009's Friday the 13th remake), Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects) and Ray Wise (Swamp Thing, Twin Peaks).

Holliston will regularly feature Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, who plays Green and Lynche's boss, and Oderus Urungus from the band GWAR, who essays a version of himself.  "He lives in my closet and only I can see him." says Green of Urungus' role on the show.  "He comes out from time to time to give me advice on whatever that week's dilemma is.  It's always the worst possible advice somebody could give."

Betty White, Cloris Leachman & Robert Englund in SyFy Original

YES on all Counts.  I will absolutely watch this.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Betty White (The Golden Girls), Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein), Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Colin Ferguson (Eureka) have all been cast in Lake Placid: The Final Chapter!





You may remember the 1999 mild hit Lake Placid which Betty White had a great part in along side Bridget Fonda & Bill Pullman.  White made that film, hands down.

"Englund will play Jim Bickerman, a poacher caught up in the film's latest giant croc attack. Elizabeth Rohm (Law & Order) and Yancy Butler (Kick-Ass) to co-star."

The film is said to be shooting in Bulgaria and will be released in 2012.  

The Help director Tate Taylor to Direct Melissa McCarthy Comedy

It's official.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, The Help director Tate Taylor is set to direct rising star Melissa McCarthy in a comedy which she wrote.

 Taylor is riding the success of The Help, as he should and it looks like since September McCarthy and Taylor have been in talks and finally confirmed the deal with New Line.


 Project centers round an overweight woman who is laid off from her job at Hardee's, discovers her husband is having an affair and decided to go on a road trip with her alcoholic, foul-mouthed, diabetic grandmother.

McCarthy co-wrote the script with her husband Ben Falcone (he plaied the air marshal in Bridesmaids)
