Since we're now running out of vampire properties to adapt, it's time to start scraping the bottom of the barrel for the next best thing, werewolf movies. Now while some may turn out to be pretty awesome (THE WOLFMAN), some, like this newly announced remake of THE HOWLING, I presume, will not. The original HOWLING, directed by Joe Dante, followed a woman being stalked by a serial killer who ended...
I need to learn to take my own goddamn advice. A while back I mentioned that the very act of mentioning a classic movie will inevitably jinx it, and flip a switch somewhere in the Hollywood Derivative Idea Dungeon, thus...
It seems that Joe Dante's The Howling is now up for remaking. Tonight we've learned that Joe Nimziki, a former studio marketing executive, will be making his feature film debut with The Howling: Reborn. Nimziki also wrote the script. The original Howling spawned a series of sequels that, from what I can remember, were pretty much all crap. Could this remake be any better? The original film was based...
I have seen bad werewolf effects in New Moon and I have seen bad werewolf effects in the trailers for The Wolfman , and I have wondered why (or how) this particular school of wizardy has gone backward in the past 30 years. Yep, the standard is still Rick Baker's work in An American Werewolf in London . But that doesn't mean Hollywood won't keep trying, no matter how often or badly it fails. And that's...
Nimziki was once the head of marketing at MGM before moving on to New Line. He ankled/was removed from that post in 2001, and, to the best of my knowledge, has been attempting to jump start his directing career ever since. According to Wikipedia, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin named James Rebhorn's hawkish-and-imbecilic Secretary of Defense in INDEPENDENCE DAY after Nimziki 'cuz they plain didn't...
He is the unbearable lightness of being a director, producer, actor, mentor. He is the most effervescent of gentlemen, one who has that gene for making it all look easy.

Oscar News: Indie legend's proteges have nabbed many Oscars -- The first job I had in the movie business paid $400 for four weeks' work on location in 1974 in some of the top chicken-fighting spots in Georgia for a movie called "Cockfighter."
Remember Corey Feldman taking a gun to his head, for Joe Dante? Well that didn't kill him, but this behind the scenes look at his direct-to-Netflix movie Splatter is killing us. Tony Todd, what are... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
I thought I saw this movie before but it turns out I saw the sequel, The Howling II, which has little to do with this thing. It is a werewolf movie, directed by Joe Dante and starring fairly good cast. Not great, tho worth watching. Okay, worth watching if werewolves are worth watching. I suspect that this movie might have seemed pretty decent when it came out in the early 80s but now its aura of
The werewolf genre should be a no-brainer. The concept of the beast within, of hidden rage and monsters buried inside a man (or woman), tied to the environment or the phases of the moon, is rife with possibility. However, it...

VENICE (Hollywood Reporter) –Joe Dante returns to coming-of-age horror with the 3D film "The Hole," which is essentially a psychological thriller imparting a lesson. Luckily, Dante and writer Mark L. Smith ("Vacancy") never get too preachy with their message. "The Hole" needs strong marketing to find its audience, however. Today's adolescents, at whom the film is aimed, have grown up on more hardcore...
