There are plenty of reasons why I’m looking forward to Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog.” For one, I’m excited to see if the Mouse House can successfully revive hand-drawn animated features that Pixar mastermind John Lasseter is overseeing things. For another, I love New Orleans, especially its musical heritage, and I’m anxious to see the setting fully recreated by Disney animators. And now, thanks to a video hosted by Cartoon Brew, I’m also eager to see more of the film’s villain, Dr. Faciler.
As you can see in the behind-the-scenes clip, Faciler is voiced by and very much resembles Keith David, an underrated character actor who you may recognize from such films as “Platoon,” “They Live,” "Clockers," “Barbershop” and “Requiem for a Dream.” And if you don’t know him by face, you probably know his deep signature voice, which has been heard in tons of documentaries, cartoons and video games. He’s done Disney feature animation before, having spoken for the god Apollo in the “Hercules” film. Most recently, he voiced the cat in “Coraline.” Read More...

There are no further details than that, though McKellen also mentioned that he'll be getting the script "within the next week." This falls very deeply into the rumor territory for now, though I have little doubt that a script exists or that there's a Bilbo short list. Especially since "Hobbit" director Guillermo del Toro

Zombified: Horror Franchises That Rob Zombie Should Tackle After 'Halloween'
Posted 8/25/09 12:00 pm EST by John Constantine in Commentary
Unfamiliar with Rob Zombie’s special brand of filmmaking? Watch the video for his song “Dragula” below. In just three minutes and forty-eight seconds, you get a nigh on perfect sense of the man’s personal style. More than his love of gore, his sense of gallows-ready humor and an obvious fondness for the color red, it betrays Zombie’s fandom. The guy really, really loves his horror movies.
His feature length work, originals “House of 1000 Corpses” and “The Devil’s Rejects” play like over-enthusiastic love letters to seventy years of scary cinema. Horror gave back by letting him play with one of its favorite toys a couple years back. Zombie got to remake “Halloween” in 2007, which he did such a great job with that he was allowed to turn right around and make "Halloween II," which hits theaters this Friday.
