'H2: Halloween 2’ Is 100 Percent Rob Zombie, Says Rob Zombie

Posted 4/20/09 1:36 pm EST by in News, Video


Back in 2007, audiences waited to see just how closely to the original "Halloween" director Rob Zombie was taking his remake. Well, Zombie was wondering the same thing. For his follow-up however, there are no questions whose vision this is.

"The first one, it was like a true remake, reimagining, whatever the hell people want to call it," Zombie says. "So you had to go through the beats of, 'How much do you keep? How much do you change? What do the fans expect? What don't they expect?' Because if it's too similar it's a waste of time, and if it's too different everyone's upset. But on this one, it's, 'Do whatever you want.' " Click here to read our full interview with Zombie from the set of "Halloween 2," and watch a short snippet below.

When MTV News caught up with Michael Cera in January, the actor labeled the long-gestating "Arrested Development" film as "more hypothetical than people think." His co-star Will Arnett apparently agrees.

“There’s no script as of right now, but it’s something that Mitch [Hurwitz] is actively working and getting ready for, and we’re hoping to start shooting by the end of the year," he told us. "I know that’s one of the goals. There are a lot of pieces that have to come together. There are what, like, nine cast members plus various other people like Mitch and Ron Howard, and everybody kind of has to get their brain around this one delicious soufflé.”

Arnett also laughed at the media’s obsession with the idea of a Bluth family reunion on the bigscreen. “God, I’ve never known a movie who’s every step of development has been as closely followed. This movie’s gonna be such a disaster,” joked the actor, who plays devious magician Gob. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: Ron Perlman Flies High In 'The Mutant Chronicles' Dogfight

Posted 4/3/09 5:47 pm EST by in Video


Back when "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" came out, cinema pundits everywhere wondered if its use of nearly 100-percent CGI sets would usher in a new age of filmmaking. Its lackluster run at the box office put an end to that argument (with "300” being a notable exception), but that isn't stopping other forward-thinking storytellers.

Such is the case with "The Mutant Chronicles," a sci-fi action pic starring Thomas Jane, John Malkovich and Ron Perlman. In the film, humans are battling against an army of underworld NecroMutants, and true to form nearly everything except actors and props is set against a green screen. You can check out the results when it hits theaters April 24 (or VOD as of March 27), but for now check out an exclusive clip below featuring a steampunk-esque dogfight high above the earth.
