Logan's Run Remake Update - Logan 5 And Jessica 6 In 3D?

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Hold on to your lunch classic sci fi movie fans, it looks as if the 3D movie craze has claimed another, unlikely, victim.

"Logan's Run"

Last night at the premiere of "Splice", producer Joel Silver dropped the bombshell, "Logan's Run" will be made in 3D. In fact, the film maker had always envisioned the film in the 3D format (?).

This is what Silver told MTV, "I'd like to make Logan's Run [in 3-D]. It's a movie I've always been intrigued with, excited by. We're writing a script now and that should be a big 3-D movie and it should be devised and shot in 3-D. I think if we can pull it together, then it would be."

Wait a minute here, we are talking about "Logan's Run", right? Makes me more than a little nervous thinking about what kind of plans Silver has for film.

Let's just hope that he doesn't add 20-ft-tall robots or over-the-top, Matrix-like, action scenes to t…

Exclusive! The First Look At Fred Olen Ray's "Dy-no-mite!" Monster Flick SUPER SHARK ATTACK"

Honestly, you would think that this 'giant sea critter' phase would die out, eventually, but it doesn't, they just keep on a comin'.

I could really go on and on here about all the "Mega Shark", "Mega Piranha" and giant octopus flicks out there right now, but what's the point?

Everybody is really eating these types of movies up right now, so who can blame a guy like Fred Olen Ray, who is a huge monster movie buff, from wanting to add his own brand of movie to the genre?

As can be expected, "Super Shark Attack" follows in the footsteps of it's predecessors, with the foolproof formula of combining a huge man-eating sea creature, with tons of hot bikini-clad beauties, and a bunch of classic TV stars that we all grew up with.

Hey, if it worked for Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, it should work for Jimmie 'JJ' Walker (Good Times) and John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) right?

The Star Wars Report: Dancing In The Street

STAR WARS 8 The Last Jedi will see Snoke turn Rey to the Dark Side in front of Kylo Ren, according to an amazing new fan theory.

A Star Wars theorist has noticed something very intriguing that Snoke says in the novelisation of Star Wars The Force Awakens.

In the canon book there’s a specific line from Snoke to Kylo Ren that would suggest Rey could turn to the Dark Side in The Last Jedi.

The result of which could even see Kylo Ren turn back to the Light.

In his new YouTube video, Mike Zeroh says: “There is a little piece that hints towards Supreme Leader Snoke showing Kylo Ren the Dark Side in front of him.”

With all eyes on the second chapter of the third trilogy, these new characters are set to enhance the journeys of Rey, as played by Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron and John Boyega’s Finn.

Step back 37 years to 1980 and the arrival of The Empire Strikes Back and you see the introduction of two new characters who had a HUGE effect on the direction of the plot.

A Gallery Of Sexy Halloween Costumes For 2015!

By -
Image
Halloween also known is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.

According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain. Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.

Typical contemporary festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related "guising"), attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing and divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching horror films. In many part…

"I hope I've shown you how to treat a lady. Next time I'll have to get rough."

They are two of the most popular female characters in gaming, so it's no surprise they're so popular among cosplayers. What's even more amazing is that they're both from the same game. Capcom's Darkstalkers debuted in arcades back in 1994 before moving on to the Playstation a couple of years later, and after numerous sequels, American cartoons, Japanese anime, books, comics, and cross-overs into other games, its greatest legacy may still be Morrigan and Felicia.

Superman And Wonder Woman’s Future Son Revealed

If you’ve ever wondered what the children of Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, or Aquaman would look like, the time for wondering is over. Thanks to DC Comics, every fan gets to see the parentage and superpowers of the sons and daughters of the Justice League. The good news is that they’re every bit the heroes that their parents were, making up the Justice League of the future… the bad news is that they’ve traveled back in time to seek their parents’ help. Because as heroic as their superhero parents taught them to be, the future may be too lost for them to ever save.


The solution, as is usually the case in comic books, is to head back to a time before the world went so wrong. Before Aquaman was corrupted and claimed Cyborg’s body to keep himself alive. Before Mount Olympus was returned to Earth in the middle of New York City. And before the Gods of Olympus saw their powers stolen by the maniacal villain called ‘Sovereign…

What Are Celebrities Doing For Halloween? - Part 1

Written By: Ken Hulsey

The other day, last Friday to be precise, I was sitting at work wondering, "What do celebrities dress up as on Halloween?" I mean, honestly, they pretty much dress up in costumes on almost a daily basis in their line of work. You would think that when it came to Halloween, they may be kinda 'over' the whole idea of putting on yet another costume. This whole idea really intrigued me, so I decided to get in touch with all the famous types that I have crossed paths with here at Monster Island News to find out what they had planned for the holiday, and to see if, and what, they were going to wear as a costume.

Here are a few of the replies, and they came almost immediately after I sent them.

Now if anyone would be kinda tired of putting on costumes it would be actress/stunt woman Patricia Tallman. She's played a Klingon, a Starfleet commander, t…

Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull talks Pacific Rim and Godzilla

From Flickering Myth

We're only a few months away from Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim hitting our cinema screens and production has begun on Gareth Edward's reboot of the Godzilla franchise. With all the monster madness coming from Legendary Pictures, CEO Thomas Tull took some time to speak to Collider about the upcoming kaiju flicks.

On the subject of Godzilla, Tull once again confirms that they are aiming for the dark tones of the original as opposed to the campy nature of the 60s and 70s sequels, "it was very important for us to take it back to its original DNA in the first Japanese film, so just tonally it’s a much different movie. And with Godzilla, those of us who grew up with Godzilla, you kind of bring whatever pre-disposition you have to the movie and the experience. For us, all I can tell you is that we’re making the Godzilla movie that we want to see."

Sexy Model Bettie Page Notorious Erotic Pin Up Goddess

Page's trademark curvy figure and raven hair made her a fixture in men's magazines in the 1950s, and the icon found a cult following that lasted long after her modelling days.

The star also landed parts in dozens of silent fetish films in which she often played a dominatrix, but the aspiring actress only had one small speaking role in the 1953 movie Striporama.

American actress Gretchen Mol played Page in the 2005 biopic of her eventful life, The Notorious Bettie Page.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, who hand-picked Page to be the Playmate of the Month in January 1955, has paid tribute to the star, saying: "I think that she was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society. She was a very dear person."

Page faded into obscurity in the 1960s after converting to Christianity and serving as …

"The Brain That Wouldn't Die" Being Remade In Oregon - First Images

By -
Image
The 2016 remake of the same name, The Brain That Wouldn't Die is a satirical take on the story, utilizing both the intentional and unintentional comedic elements of the original, while bolstering the characters and plot. Directed by Derek Carl and written by Hank Huffman, the team behind the short film Bad Seed (2015) and the upcoming web series Y2K 2000 (2016), the remake proudly wears its influences on its sleeve, from the colorful gore-fest Re-Animator to the exceedingly funny The Man with Two Brains.

The film will be shot in Portland, Oregon, with a local cast and crew.

Combining elements of Gothic horror, film noir and science fiction, The Brain That Wouldn't Die is a charming, if not delightfully flawed, entry from director Joseph Green and producer Rex Carlton. Filmed in 1959 and released in '62, “Brain” follows the misadventures of Dr. Bill Cortner (Jason Evers), a brilliant surgeon who revives the head of his recently decapitated fiancee, Jan Compton (Virginia …

Godzilla 2: First Set Photos ... More Monsters?

Filming on the sequel to Gareth Edwards amazing re imagining of Godzilla (2014) has been taking place in Atlanta now for just over two weeks and the first on set photos have leaked out. Not much can be seen in any of the pics, all they contain are images of Warner Bros trailers and cars in all sorts of disrepair. It's the usual collateral damage stuff that exists in every single giant monster movie since 1933 when King Kong decided that he didn't like the civilized world very much and went ... well ape.

Here is an eyewitness report:

GODZILLA II Night Filming from the scheduled Inman Village ParkWay shoot that happened two days ago.


According to bystanders and witnesses, there were a lot of thunderous noises, booms, and monster sounds emitting around the location. With cars turned over, flames roaring, and with debris scattered everywhere. And clearly from the glimpses of the set, it must have been quite the night!

UFO - Fighting Aliens In A Super Sexy Future!

By -

In the year 1980, a secret military organization named SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) becomes operational. Its purpose is to defend the Earth from Aliens who've been coming to Earth and kidnapping humans. It is believed that these Aliens are a dying race, and are transplanting human body parts to extend their own lifespans.

SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a film studio near London England. SHADO also has a base on the moon (Moonbase) and a fleet of submarines (Skydiver). Incoming UFO's are initially detected by an Earth orbiting satellite named SID (Space Intruder Detector). An initial interception attempt is made in space with three Interceptor craft launched from Moonbase. A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a fighter plane (Sky One) launched from Skydiver. Landed UFO's are tracked down with ground Mobiles.

SHADO is run by the extremely dedicated Commander Ed Straker, and is overseen by General James Hende…

The True History Behind St. Patrick’s Day

Here's what we know about the real St. Patrick

The modern St. Patrick’s Day celebrations that will take place on Thursday, at least in the United States, will likely be characterized by commercial lucky charms and green beer—all of which has very little to do with the historical figure of the saint. As it turns out, it took centuries for the holiday to accrue the elements that now seem crucial to its celebrations.

The March 17 celebration started in 1631 when the Church established a Feast Day honoring St. Patrick. He had been Patron Saint of Ireland who had died around the fifth century—a whopping 12 centuries before the modern version of the holiday was first observed. But very little is known about who he actually was, according to Marion Casey, a clinical assistant professor of Irish Studies at New York University (and a regular marcher in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan).

“We know that he was a Roman citizen, because Britain…
