Darkstone Entertainment has begun shooting a remake of Ed Wood’s classic PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, which is celebrating it 50th anniversary. The remake, titled PLAN 9, is not intended as camp or parody, but instead realize Ed Wood’s original vision; check out the trailer below. Author Tony Schaab is producing a novelization of the original film to coincide with PLAN 9’s release, and is also putting together an anthology of horror authors to produce short stories revealing how Plans 1 through 8 were tried and failed by the aliens. I was honored to be invited to submit a contribution to this anthology.
TAKE SHELTER: Contemporary Noah or Completely Crazy?
This looks interesting … In the upcoming film TAKE SHELTER, a man has visions of the end of the world, and prepares for it by building a tornado shelter, alienating friends and family in the process–a sort of contemporary Noah. Is he crazy, or prophetic?
ZOMBIE DIARIES 2 Looks Like Fun
THE ZOMBIE DIARIES 2 looks like a fun zombie film set in the UK. The trailer has a lot of elements I like: scary zombies, focus on the apocalypse, not the post apocalypse, soldiers as main characters instead of cannon fodder or stock villains, and a cinema verite approach that is realistic but without being overbearing. It will be available on DVD June 27, 2011. Catch the trailer below.
Script Shadow Reviews Older Screenplay Draft for WORLD WAR Z Adaptation
Script Shadow reviews an older draft of the screenplay for the World War Z film adaptation.

Upcoming Apocalyptic Film: THE COLLAPSED
Trailer for THE COLLAPSED, an upcoming post-apocalyptic survival horror film about a group of survivors trying to reach sanctuary. I’m looking forward to this one. Fangoria calls it “genuinely shocking.” If you can shock Fangoria, it’s got to be scary!
