Halloween 6: The Producer's Cut - Official Release Petition

Sold at conventions and swapped among friends and fans, bootleg versions of "The Producer's Cut" of Halloween 6 have been circulating now for years.  (I first saw a bootlegged version of it on VHS over a decade ago.) But a new online petition addressed to Miramax/Dimension Films is urging the company for an official DVD/Blu-ray release.  The petition even offers to initiate a Kickstarter campaign to help with the financial burden of transferring the original, unused elements from the Producer's Cut to HD.

Miramax/Dimension have shown a complete lack of interest in giving this version of Halloween 6 an official release, despite past fan petitions.  They even turned a deaf ear to the movie's writer, Daniel Farrands, who explained to execs just how sought after this version of the movie was amongst fans of the series.  I'm afraid unless this petition receives tens of thousands of signatures, the studio will continue being apathetic toward both the film and its fans.

Find a link to the petition below and sound off in the comments section.

The Walking Dead Companion Series in 2015

As if AMC weren't already making enough bank with their original series, they are currently working to develop a companion series to their most popular show, The Walking Dead.  Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert are already on board to produce.  No news yet on storyline, cast, etc.

What say you?  Leave your thoughts on whether or not you think AMC is making the right call here or not, and where you'd like to see this new series go storyline- and cast-wise.

This is the age of the BOUNTY KILLER.

Born from the ashes, the Council of Nine rose as a new law and order for this dark age. To avenge the corporations’ reckless destruction, the Council issues death warrants for all white collar criminals. Their hunters: the bounty killers!

American Psycho - The Television Series!?!?

As most of you already know, I'm a HUGE fan of both the novel and the film adaptation of AMERICAN PSYCHO.  Both told the story of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy stock broker by day and sadistic serial killer by night.  The film was released in 2000 and quickly garnered a cult following.  A forgettable sequel soon followed and the character will eventually find his way onto the stage with a musical version to premiere later this year.  If you thought a musical version of AMERICAN PSYCHO was a stretch, you ain't seen nothing yet.

It was announced today that FX Network is developing a television series based on the classic novel/movie.  According to FX, the series finds Patrick Bateman as a middle-aged man who takes an up-and-coming serial killer under his wing to help him hone his bloody craft.

No, seriously.  I wish I was joking.  AMERICAN PSYCHO the television series is in the works. There's so many things wrong with this I can't even begin to count. God help us all.  What say you?
