SDCC10: Director Frank Darabont Talks ‘The Walking Dead’

Posted on July 24, 2010

Yesterday, we brought you an exclusive interview with Andrew Lincoln, the star of one of the most anticipated upcoming series on AMC, The Walking Dead. Based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman, the show adapts this “zombie apocalypse” story into a 6-episode season, coming this October on AMC.

The series is said to be an amazing hybrid of both comic story elements, as well as horror elements from Hollywood. One name that can attest to that is horror director Frank Darabont. Darabont helped take Kirkman’s series to AMC, and he’s also executive producer of the show, as well as stepping behind the camera to direct a few episodes.

We got the opportunity to speak with Mr. Darabont about the upcoming series, as well as what attracted him to the project. Check out the interview after the jump and keep it here for more coverage of the upcoming The Walking Dead series.

SDCC10: Eye Popping Teaser Trailer Revealed for ‘Saw 3D’

Posted on July 24, 2010

With the news that we will be witnessing the culmination of the Saw franchise this October, one had to wonder if Saw 3D could really be a worthy cap to the series. From the looks of the new official trailer, Saw 3D will not disappoint.

For all you torture porn lovers out there, this film is shaping up to be the biggest and baddest of them all. The magnitude and complexity of the traps previewed in the trailer, as well as the addition of the 3D component, should bring a satisfying end to the world record setting franchise.

Those of you who have come to depend on the Saw films as their horror fix every Halloween will be disappointed by the trailer’s confirmation that this will in fact be the final film. In the film, Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flannery) is a self help guru and Jigsaw survivor who is sought out by a group of Jigsaw survivors who are seeking his support to help overcome their trauma. Unfortunately, it’s Dagen’s demons that end up unleashing the new round of terror.

The film is set to star Tobin Bell (Saw), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Costas Mandylor (Beowolf) , Betsy Russelly (Saw III) and Sean Patrick Flannery (Boondock Saints).

With Saw ending its reign as the top horror franchise, are there any upcoming or recent horror movies that you the Flickcast readers are hoping to see franchised?

Lionsgate’s Saw 3D is opening in theaters October 29. Check the trailer out after the jump and stay with us for more Saw 3D news as it develops.

SDCC10: The ‘Dexter’ Panel Offers Glimpses of New Season

Posted on July 24, 2010

Ralph Garman from L.A. radio station KROQ 106.7 hosted the official San Diego Comic-Con 2010 Dexter  panel. Ralph got things rolling by showing an exclusive  sneak peek at the second season of its animated webisode series ‘Dexter Early Cuts: Dark Echo,’ to a packed hall.

A video showing gameplay from Dexter ‘the game’ for the iPod and iPad was on tap next, revealing some of the in-game action from the 3D game based on the  Dexter series. But what the audience really wanted to see, was a trailer from the upcoming Dexter Season 5 which begins in September.

The trailer takes us back to the game-changing events of Season 4’s shocking finale. A crying baby; the police arrive with siren’s blaring at Dexter’s suburban house; an image of Rita, Dexter’s wife, resting lifeless in a bathtub full of blood. In front of the officers on the scene, Dexter appears to admit it. He admits he did it. Killed his own wife.

Ponderous, since Dexter’s serial-killing peer, the crafty and lethal ‘Trinity Killer,’ played masterfully by John Lithgow, was most certainly responsible. Still, the apparent admission stirs suspicion in those around Dexter, and many begin to question if perhaps there is more to Dexter than meets the eye.
