DAMMIT(?): Jeff Daniels Confirms “Dumb And Dumber To” Is DEAD

A few months back the internet exploded for an hour or so over news that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels had officially signed on to make a sequel to Dumb And Dumber. The film was set to shoot in August, but TMZ is now reporting that Jeff Daniels has proclaimed the film “dead” following the exit of Carrey (who thought the studio was not as excited about the project as he would have liked). Is this good news? Is it depressing? I guess at this point we will never really know what might have been, but I get the …

DAMMIT: “Raging Bull 2″ Begins Production This Summer

Lots of cool remakes and sequels have been funneling through the pipeline recently, so it only makes sense that a bad decision or two would make the cut. Call me crazy, but the decision to green light Raging Bull 2 was one such mistake.

Moviehole has the exclusive, which reveals Raging Bull II plans to chart the early days of Jake LaMotta’s life, and then pick up again in the days after the end of Scorsese’s film. De Niro will not reprise his role as LaMotta, which already makes me weary, but legendary actor William Forsyth has stepped up to …

Simon Pegg Denies “Hot Fuzz 2″ Rumors, Expresses No Interest In The Project

Earlier today, ComingSoon started a fuss online by reporting exclusive news that Nick Frost had revealed work on Hot Fuzz 2 was underway. As it turns out, this is not the case.

Shortly after the ComingSoon article went live, Hot Fuzz star Simon Pegg took to Twitter with the post “Hola Madrid! Seems to be some conjecture about there being a Hot Fuzz 2 in prod. I can confirm this untrue.”

Pegg followed this tweet moments later with a post that nearly nails the coffin shut on the idea of HF2 altogether, commenting “Also, I don’t want to make Hot …

Dammit, “Top Gun 2″ Is Happening

Tom Cruise is amidst a blitz of press for his latest Mission Impossible flick and recently spilt the beans about another sequel that is sure to equally overjoy and piss off the internet.

In a recent interview with MTVNews, Cruise shed a bit of light on the rumors that have been swirling about the possibility of a Top Gun sequel, but mostly just let people know it is in fact a reality in the making. If online stories are correct (and this is a good if), Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, the screenwriters behind ‘Thor’ and ‘X-Men: First …

Horror fans have been losing their minds for the past day following word from DreadCentral that Sam Raimi had secretly traveled to Detroit in order to begin making something related to Evil Dead. Bloody-Disgusting took the story further a few hours later, claiming Raimi probably wasn’t the director, but still left most hanging in excitement.

Well hang no more because we have the answers! Word is, Raimi DID go to Detroit for what is being called “quasi-reboot” of the Bruce Campbell lead Evil Dead series and production is (apparently) already underway. Directing the feature will be Freddy Alvarez, the …
