Christopher Kahler just sent me a quick e-mail with some brand new publicity stills from his upcoming remake of the Ed Wood classic "Plan 9 From Outer Space" called "Grave Robbers From Outer Space."

Kahler intends to expand on the story from the original by adding a back story for the Bela (Lugosi) and Vampira characters, called Phineas and Mera in the new film, plus other plot points that Wood was unable to.

Kahler's cast includes Kimberly Bendix (as Mera) Dawn Oswald (as Paula Trent), Michelle Shields, (as Officer Jamie), Joel D. Wynkoop (as Eros), Leann Van Mol (as Tanna), and Ron Blair (as Inspector Daniel Clay).

According to the director, "the filming is going even better than expected and everybody has been very pleased with it so far."

Here are the new stills from "Grave Robbers From Outer Space":

Sigourney Weaver Has No Interest In Alien Prequel

Sigourney Weaver has turned her nose up at reprising two of her most famous roles. Yesterday it was reported that the actress had backed out of her contract to once again play Dana Barrett in "Ghostbusters 3" and today she has opted not to play Ellen Ripley in Ridley Scott's upcoming "Alien" prequel.

You really have to admire Weaver for not taking the easy money to reprise earlier roles in films that she thinks are sub-par.

In the case of the upcoming "Alien" prequel she really had a very strong reason for turning down another chance to play Ripley again, the part just didn't make sense in the chronology of the story.

Weaver recently told reporters, "I don't think that Ripley could appear in an Alien prequel because she doesn't have any access to the creature until the first Alien. But Ridley (Scott) is producing it and that makes me happy."

Frankly, I agree with her (again), if Ripley were to appear in a story that was supposed to happen before the original "Alien" then it would severely 'water down' the events in the first two films.

Last August I reported that Weaver was very excited about being in a new "Alien" movie, however, she did have conditions at that time for playing Ripley yet again, "I don't care whether the budget is big or small, or if it's a lead role or not. If the story's good, I'm there."

True to her word, she felt that the story wasn't right, and she turned down the part.

Good for you Sigourney Weaver! You go girl!

Have you ever wanted to see the best scenes from Hollywood's ever growing list of zombie films over and over again in a continuous loop? Well, the movie gods have smiled upon you, because Mr. Lobo of the nationally syndicated late-night horror phenomena, "Cinema Insomnia", has added his talents to "Nonstop Movie Party Zombies", a DVD collection of the best undead flicks ever assembled.

Indeed, this special DVD collection features a special 'loop' feature that let's you view the really good parts, over and over and over.....and somebody stop me! Okay, I got looped up there for a second.

Now I have to warn all of you out there, this DVD is a particularly nasty one. According to Mr. Lobo, the DVD broke loose last night and......well.....went on a kinda bender.

Here is a blow-by-blow account of the carnage as Mr. Lobo posted it on Facebook last night:

9:00 pm - My new DVD just ate the last bit of sour cream in your fridge? What are you gonna do about it?
9:04 pm - My new DVD is putting it's feet up on your chair! What now?
9:05 pm - My new DVD left a wet towel on the floor in your bathroom. I suggest you don't smell it!
9:08 pm - My new DVD logged into your facebook account and is deleting all your friends who "seem like douches"...

Well, "Nonstop Movie Party Zombies" sounds like one horrible house guest......kinda like when my wife's family is over on holidays.

There are two options for ordering this rude, but yet awesome zombie collection.
