Nista epohalno,ali je posao Spikeovog pomocnika odlicno obavljao,a u ovoj prici je da bi pokrio pricu o afroamerickim zanr reziserima.....

Naslov FEAR ITSELF je prilično oslobađajuć u smislu da sada nije neophodno dovesti nekog ko se već dokazao kao gospodar horora, već se mogu angažovati i nove nade.

Word's been flying all over the web today that Mick Garris is, officially, no longer involved with the NBC Masters of Horror re-creation, Fear Itself. Of course, Mick had to officially exit the project when the writer's strike began, but we decided to drop him a line and confirm that he's still off now that the strike has ended, as well as verify the directors' names that were revealed yesterday.

"I've left the show for good." he replied, and to be honest we're not surprised. The man's got about 10,000 balls in the air at all times, so with all the downtime from the strike priorities had to be reevaluated.

In response to the director's names: "I believe that all but Carpenter will be a part of it. Stuart Gordon started shooting the first one yesterday in Edmonton." If memory serves Gordon was one of the first to shoot for Masters as well. Getting the best out of the way, perhaps?

Mick further verified that the next project he's working on is Bag of Bone, an adaptation of the Stephen King novel about a man returning to the summer home he shared with his wife after her death. Hopefully we'll learn more on it soon so stay tuned!

BURBANK - March 3, 2008 - A host of provocative directors, actors and writers - including award-winning directors John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV"), Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason," "Bride of Chucky"), Brad Anderson ("The Machinist"), Breck Eisner (upcoming Universal Pictures film "Creature from the Black Lagoon"), Mary Harron ("American Psycho"), Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator") and Ernest Dickerson (NBC's "Heroes") - have been signed for NBC's "Fear Itself," a new 13-episode suspense and horror anthology series from Lionsgate in association with Industry Entertainment.

Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns"), Shiri Appleby ("Charlie Wilson's War"), Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost"), Eric Roberts (NBC's "Heroes"), John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise"), Russell Hornsby ("Lincoln Heights"), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire"), Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal"), Stephen R. Hart ("Shoot 'Em Up"), Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy") and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") are among the sought-after actors who will be portraying various characters in three episodes of the series.

Among the writers set are Joe Gangemi ("Wind Chill," the novel "Inamorata"), Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night"), Dan Knauf ("Carnivale," "Supernatural"), Lem Dobbs ("The Score"), Matt Venne ("White Noise 2: The Light"), Richard Chizmar & Johnathan Schaech ("Masters of Horror," "From a Buick 8"), Victor Salva ("Jeepers Creepers"), Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet," "Amazing Stories"), Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan ("Masters of Horror"), Kelly Kennemer ("The Music Within") and Max Landis ("Masters of Horror").

The announcement was made today by Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President, NBC Entertainment.
"We've teamed up with some of the most illustrious writers, actors and directors to create a distinctive, scare-filled series that will push the boundaries of this classic genre," said Weinberg. "'Fear Itself' will deliver memorable and horrifying moments that will keep fans on the edge of their seats, begging for more on this fun-filled ride of terror."

"We and our partners at Industry Entertainment couldn't be happier about NBC's enthusiastic support of 'Fear Itself' and the caliber of artists who have been drawn to the project," said Kevin Beggs, Lionsgate's President of Television Programming and Production. "Our goal is to offer audiences a fantastic thrill every week and we've certainly got the all-star team to do it."

"Eater," is directed by Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator," "Masters of Horror") and written by Cemetery Dance Magazine publisher and editor Richard Chizmar ("From a Buick 8") & actor Johnathon Schaech ("Masters of Horror," "That Thing You Do!"). A rookie cop (Moss) must spend her first night in the precinct watching over a serial killer, coined "The Eater" (Stephen R. Hart, "Shoot 'Em Up"). When her fellow cops start acting bizarre, she quickly learns that no one is who they seem. Russell Hornsby ("Lincoln Heights"), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire") and Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal") also star.

"Spooked," is directed by Brad Anderson ("The Machinist") and written by Matt Venne ("White Noise 2: The Light"). While on a stake out in a haunted house, a private eye (Roberts) is made to confront the demons of his past. Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost") and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") also star.

"Community" is directed by Mary Harron ("American Psycho," "The Notorious Betty Page," "Big Love") and written by Kelly Kennemer ("The Music Within"). When a young married couple, played by Routh and Appleby, find the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, their lives seem...well...perfect. But as the dark underbelly of their neighborhood creeps to the surface, they soon realize that their neighbors will go to any extreme -- even murder -- to make sure that they comply with their twisted sense of conformity. John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise") also stars.

"Red Snow" has a screenplay written by Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet," "Amazing Stories"), from a story by Del Howison ("Dark Delicacies"). Breck Eisner ("Creature from the Black Lagoon") will direct. When four criminals find themselves stranded in an old, snow-covered fort, they slowly discover both the fort and the seductive trio of sirens who reside there are filled with deadly secrets.

"Chance" is written by Lem Dobbs ("The Score"), with a director to be announced later. In the vein of such classic doppelganger stories as "Jekyll & Hyde" and Poe's "William Wilson," the episode explores a dreadful, classic battle that ensues when a man is confronted by his evil self.

"New Year's Day" will be directed by Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV"), and is written by Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night") from a story by Paul Kane. A young woman wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by horrifying zombies.

"Family Man" will be directed by Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason," "Bride of Chucky") and is written by Dan Knauf ("Carnivale," "Supernatural"). This action-charged, psychological thriller focuses on a likeable family man who switches bodies with a serial killer after a near-death experience. Now, he must fight from behind bars to keep the murderer from adding his family to the long list of victims.

"Skin & Bones" is written by Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan ("Masters of Horror") with a director to be announced later. When a cattle herder returns home to his family after being lost in the woods for days, he just doesn't seem the same. Soon, a terrible mortal struggle ensues against the terrifying monster
possessing him.

"Something With Bite" is a reinvention of the classic werewolf story from writer Max Landis ("Masters of Horror"), the son of John Landis. Ernest Dickerson (NBC's "Heroes") will direct.

In "Nightmare in Lace," John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London") will direct an episode written by Victor Salva ("Jeepers Creepers"). On her wedding day, a beautiful bride receives a mysterious note that reads: "The person you are marrying is a serial killer."

The series is produced by Lionsgate in association with IE Indy TV, Industry Entertainment's newly formed independent television label, and was created by Mick Garris. The Emmy-winning team of Keith Addis and Andrew Deane ("Masters of Horror") are the executive producers. Peter Block is co-executive producer; Grant Rosenberg is supervising producer; and Adam Goldworm, Ben Browning and Jonathan Hackett are producers.

Ne vidim šta ne valja sa ovim tredom... Zašto pokretati novi?

pošto sam iz pouzdanog izvora bio upozoren da su prve 4 epizode ovoga najobičnije gubljenje vremena, zaobišao sam ih.
ipak, pružio sam šansu stjuartu gordonu i 5. epizodi (EATER), i mogu reći da ona deliveruje na sasvim zadovoljavajući način, imajući u vidu sva ograničenja mesta i kontexta u kome se javlja. ovo je jedna poštena no nonsense klasična HORROR epizoda koja maximalno koristi kratku formu za koloplet jeftinih šokova i dobro orkestrirane napetosti bez tupljavine i gubljenja vremena. sve u svemu, sasvim respektabilan i dostojanstven doprinos od čika gordona, koji se pokazao kao pouzdaniji autor za quickie low budget effective horror od mnogih nabeđenih mastera horrora!

While NBC's FEAR ITSELF will take a break after this week's installment (Larry Fessenden's SKIN AND BONES, airing Thursday night at 10 p.m.) in deference to Olympics coverage, the network passed on some more info about the next round of episodes that will start airing later in August:

• Ernest (DEMON KNIGHT) Dickerson's werewolf episode SOMETHING WITH BITE, written by Max Landis (who co-scripted dad John's MASTERS OF HORROR entry DEER WOMAN), centers on a veterinarian (THE WIRE's Wendell Pierce) who starts to transform after he's bitten by a strange animal that's brought to his clinic. As he turns, he also adopts a new outlook on his boring life; Paula Jai Parker co-stars.

• In Rob (WRONG TURN) Schmidt's THE SPIRIT BOX, scripted by WIND CHILL's Joe Gangemi, ROCKET SCIENCE's Anna Kendrick (pictured) and Jessica Parker Kennedy play two teenaged girls who use a Ouija board to contact a friend who has killed herself. It turns out their pal was actually a murder victim, who enlists them to take revenge for her. The cast also includes WIND CHILL's Martin Donovan and Mark (DEXTER) Pellegrino.

• CHANCE, helmed by John (JOY RIDE) Dahl from a screenplay by Lem (DARK CITY) Dobbs, focuses on a man who does battle with his evil doppelganger, with a cast headed by Ethan (VACANCY) Embry, Christine Chatelain and Vondie Curtis Hall.

• ECHOES, directed by Rupert (STIGMATA) Wainwright and written by Sean (MASTERS OF HORROR: SICK GIRL) Hood, focuses on a young man (THE HILLS HAVE EYES' Aaron Stanford) who moves into a new apartment and comes to suspect he lived there in a decades-old past life—and that his previous identity was a serial killer. Eric (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) Balfour and Camille Guaty co-star.

• Eduardo (CURANDERO) Rodriguez's THE CIRCLE, scripted by actor Johnathon (PROM NIGHT) Schaech and his writing partner/Cemetery Dance publisher Richard Chizmar from the short story by Lewis Shiner, features Schaech, Ashley Scott, Melanie Nicholls-King and Eric Keenleyside as members of a group of friends who meet every Halloween to tell horror stories—and receive a frightening contribution one of their former pals.

Keep your eyes here for schedule updates, and look for an interview with Fessenden and review of SKIN AND BONES at this site very soon. FEAR ITSELF's official site can be seen here. —Michael Gingold

Meni je od scenaristickih imena najprijatnije to sto se vratio kultni a potcenjeni Lem Dobbs.

Pogledao sam šestu epizodu NEW YEARS DAY.

režija: Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW II, III & IV)
scenario: Steve Niles (strip serijal 30 Days of Night)

Gordonova epizoda je znatno bolja, ali i NYD ima svoje momente. Početak je intrigantan, podeća na [●REC] i 28 DAYS LATER... Posle burnog dočeka Nove godine, curka se budi u svom krevetu da bi ustanovila da je u gradu otpočela invazija zombija. Zgrada u kojoj živi je prepuna zombija, a na ulicama je još gore. Pokušavajući da preživi, curka postepeno odmotava film prisećajući šta se sve izdogađalo na dočeku...

Bousman obožava drmajuću kameru, pa je i ovoga puta obilato koristi. Epizoda fino teče, ima dosta događanja, a flešbekovi ne usporavaju mnogo akciju. Vidi se da nije potrošeno baš mnogo keša, ali NYD izgleda bolje od, recimo, SLAGALICE STRAVE IV. Krvoliptanje je nešto suptilnije nego što bi trebalo, ali mi to nije mnogo smetalo... Kraj je do izvesne mere originalan i meni je legao - mada verujem da neke od vas neće zadovoljiti.

6/10 (Bilo bi 5/10, ali volim zombike pa sam Bousmana malo častio.)

Ovo zvuči ODLIČNO! Keem 'em cumming!

Peta epizoda: EATER

režija: Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator i još toliko toga lepog)
scenario: Johnathon Schaech & Richard Chizmar (From a Buick 8)

Gordon je još jednom napravio odličan posao. Pre neki dan sam gledao njegov dugometražni STUCK, a evo sada i doprinosa   FEAR ITSELF antologiji... Ovoga puta, Stu se odmorio od klasika i ekranizovao savremenu priču o kanibalu koji teroriše mladu policajku tokom noćne smene. Zaplet je jednostavan da (gotovo) jednostavnji ne može biti, ali baš zbog toga EATER odlično funkcioniše. Takođe, natprirodni twist priči daje posebnu aromu. Bez obzira što se čitava priča odigrava na jednoj lokaciji i što likova nema puno, EATER drži pažnju do poslednje krvave sekunde.

8/10

Osma epizoda: SKIN and BONES

režija: Larry Fessenden (Wendigo, The Last Winter)
scenario: Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan (Carpenterove MoH epizode)

Iznenađen sam. Fessenden opus mi je oduvek bio dosadan (WENDIGO - negledljiv, THE LAST WINTER - jedva podnošljiv). SKIN + BONES je tako imao sve preduslove da mi se ne dopadne, ali nešto je (za promenu) krenulo po dobru.  

Doug Jones glumi muža/oca/brata koji je nestao u divljini, da bi se posle 7 dana vratio na ranč. Povratnik u prvom trenutku izgleda kao iznemogao čovek na ivici smrti - otuda i naslov - ali stvari nisu onakve kakve izgledaju.

Del Toro je Jonesa odavno probio  ali je ovo prvi put da ga gledam bez maske. (Zapravo, i ovde je našminkan, ali je u manje-više ljudskoj formi.) Čovek je jezivo mršav, ali ga to ne sprečava da bude odličan glumac. Uloga koju je ostvario je istinski jeziva, a tokom gledanja sam čak povremeno osećao i napetost što je najveći kompliment koji mogu da dam jednom horor produktu.

8/10
