It follows “two men, one an architect, and the other Holmes, whose fates were forever linked by The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893: Daile H. Burnham, a brilliant and fastidious architect racing to make his mark on the world and Henry H. Holmes, a handsome and cunning doctor who fashioned his own pharmaceutical “Murder Castle” on the fairgrounds.” DiCaprio acquired the rights to the book nearly a decade ago.

Leonardo DiCaprio And Martin Scorsese Team Up For “Devil In The White City”

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese have long been attached to the adaptation of Erik Larson’s book The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness At the Fair That Changed America. The book, about the true story of serial killer Henry H. Holmes, was going to be adapted for film, but it looks like the plan has changed. It is headed to the small screen instead. Variety is reporting that both DiCaprio and Scorsese will executive produce Hulu‘s series “The Devil in the White City.” “The Devil in the White City” follows “two men, one an architect, and the other Holmes, whose fates were forever linked by The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893: Daile H.

Blu-ray Review: The Critters Collection (1986 – 1992)

Man oh man I love me some Critters…well the first film anyway. To be truthful, I loved the sequel as well, but only ended up seeing it once or twice, and the third and fourth pics? Well, I know I saw them at some point, but I remember fuck-all about them…but that first film; my lord I must have watched that fifty times in the late eighties alone! So, since it’s obviously waaaay past time for a re-visit to the frightful franchise, and since those delicious devils at Scream Factory have just put out a new Blu-ray collection featuring all for films, we begin my latest revoltin’ review for these hallowed haunted halls! To the surprise of no one we begin with: Critters (1986): A group of intergalactic convicts, who resemble the offspring of Fizzgig mating with a porcupine (and we both know that lil’ bastard totally would too), escape a prison asteroid and land near the farm of young

Tarantino Casts Charles Manson’s Character In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

We’ve been talking about Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood for a while now. The cast list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood’s biggest and brightest, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Roby, Burt Reynolds, Timothy Olyphant, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Damien Lewis, Emile Hirsh, Luke Perry, Dakota Fanning, Clifton Collins Jr., Keith Jackson, Al Pacino, Nicholas Hammond. One key role has gone unannounced, the actor playing the role of murderous cult leader Charles Manson. Well, we are happy to report that the character will be played by actor Damon Herriman, which has been confirmed by his PR company October Coast. Herriman does have a resemblance to Manson and he is talented – that was proved during his long run on “Justified”. The Australia born actor has appeared in many films and series like Riot, The Nightingale, Son of a Gun, “Incorporated”, “Quarry”, and “Secret City”, just to name a few. Lewis has been cast

Zak Bagans Producing Charles Manson Documentary

There are a whole slew of Charles Manson films being releases soon. The Tarantino one starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio is getting the most spotlight and love…for obvious reasons, but we have just learned that ‘Ghost Adventures’ star Zak Bagans is producing a documentary on the modern day monster which will be titled ‘Manson’s Bloodline’. Bagans tells TMZ that filming began on the doc shortly before Manson’s death last year; “it will cover everything from Manson’s life to the news of his death and the court battle over his body… to exclusive footage of his open casket funeral.” This documentary will surely be informative, in-depth, and interesting. Regardless of the monster that Manson was and the absolute horrific nature of his life, he remains a very popular figure to examine. Bagans will surely do a fantastic job at exposing exactly who this racist cult leader was and what made him so appealing to his followers. No release date has

‘World War Z 2’ Delayed In Favor Of Tarantino’s New Film

While we are excited about Brad Pitt signing on to co-star in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, we are sad to report Paramount will be delaying World War Z 2 (again). Due to the fact that Tarantino’s film is set to begin production soon, the studio has no choice to postpone production of the zombie sequel until this fall. Not only to Pitt star in David Fincher’s WWZ 2, he is also serving as executive producer. Eventually, the film will get made, it’s just a matter of when. Pitt will co-star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio who has been cast as Rick Dalton, a former star of a western series. Pitt will play the role of Dalton’s longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth. It’s been said that Margot Robbie has been cast to play Sharon Tate, the actress who was murdered along with several friends by members of the Manson family.
