Some ‘Scream IV’ news
Mar 10th
Just popped onto BD and found this:
Here’s some uninteresting non-news that’s being reported across the web. At the press conference for Repo Men in New York, star Liev Schrieber explained that from what he knows he will NOT be returning as Cotton Weary in Dimension Films’ Scream IV, the beginning of a new trilogy penned by Kevin Williamson. Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox have all been confirmed to return although Wes Craven has yet to be locked down to direct. A May star date was scheduled, although I’d bet against it.
Thought I’d post it as I know a few Scream fans who read here

‘1408′ Writer Returns to Pen ‘Pet Sematary’
Mar 5th
Matthew Greenberg – who did a solid job adapting 1408 – will be penning yet another Stephen King adaptation, this time a remake of the 1989 chiller Pet Sematary (I can’t wait to see how many people spell this wrong). Published in 1983, King’s creeper tale centered on a family that trades the city life for the country life in Maine, then discovers that they have moved near a pet cemetery that rests on an ancient burial ground. When the husband’s toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the father takes the boy’s body to the cemetery, where it is resurrected in demonic form. Paramount brought the book to life in 1989, with a feature version adapted by King that starred Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Fred Gwynne. Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity and James Wan’s forthcoming Insidious) is producing. Greenberg also penned Halloween: H20, Mimic, and the “Masters of Horror” episode The Fair Haired Child.
Another remake!!
Class of 1999 (1990)
Mar 4th
Plot: Robot teachers have been secretly placed in the schools where the students have run riot. The teachers do a god job of controlling the unruly youngsters, until they go too far and some students get suspicious
Review: Now this was a 90’s film! Bradley Gregg plays the lead in the film as a newly released inmate who has to go to a high school inside a warzone that is controlled by two rival gangs. Some great acting by this guy – you have to check him out!
Malcolm McDowell (of Halloween fame) also pops up in this as the head of the school (oblivious to what’s going on around him) as well as the bad guy from Scanner Cop 2, Patrick Kilpatrick (who makes this film as well).
There are some riots and explosions – mainly down to the gang war, but this changes as the new ‘teachers’ take their places in class. Now from here on in it steps up a gear. There’s a scene inside the teachers apartment that literally had my heart beating as they were nearly caught by them.
For some reason the ‘Class…’ reminded me of Bronx Warriors as the weaponry used and costumes were very alike.
As usual ignore the cover and just sit back and have a good old time watching teachers vs students, school bombs, shooting sprees, and some a mad scientist to boot.
Damn good 90’s film that will leave a smile on your face as it comes to a close and your finger on the trigger if this situation ever happens (sarcastic laugh).

Maniac Cop III: Badge of Silence (1993)
Mar 2nd
Plot: A female cop is gunned down and wrongly accused of using excessive force in a hostage rescue attempt. Maniac cop returns from the dead once more to seek revenge, destroying everthing and anyone that stands in his way.
Review: Robert Z’Dar returns once again as the Maniac Cop in the third instalment of this series (or trilogy if you like). Robert Davi and our new Freddy, Jackie Earle Haley both star in this humorous, action packed flick.
The main premise of the film takes place from where the second finished but this time Matt Cordell is after a female cop (well I say after but it’s really protecting) who has been wrongly framed for shooting a civilian. Matt wants Kate for his wife since Houngan, a man that used magic to bring him to life again can return her soul into her body making her live again then she can be Matt’s bride.
There are some scenes you might recognise from previous films (some walking scenes and a staircase scene as well) but that doesn’t distract from the fun you’ll have while watching it. Robert Z’Dar really does makes his mark again and speaks only once like in the previous film.
It’s quite a fast-paced entry, especially the chase sequence at the end that is bloody well done but not as cheesy as the chase in Lep 2. There’ll probably be a lot of questions that haven’t been answered at the end of this film, mostly to do with the Voodoo Priest – but I’ll let anything slide until you see the trilogy for yourself.
