Dragonquest from Asylum hits trailer
The Asylum has put up the trailer for Dragonquest. It doesn’t look like a mockbuster, but might be coincidentally titled to cash in on the Dragonball Z film.When an ancient warlord summons a mythological beast, a young hero must complete a series of quests to awaken the dragon that will defeat the monster.
The Asylum is also remaking The Land That Time Forgot, based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. Directed by C. Thomas Howell.
Thanks to Avery for the reminder!

Repo Chick coming soon
Alex Cox has shot a sequel to Repo Man called Repo Chick that no information is available on the internet. So, yeah. Expect the next sequel, Repo Baby, to come out in 2025.Alex Cox’s blog
The REPO CHICK shoot is done. We wrapped half a day behind – actually half a day ahead, since, having lost a day due to our robbery we made up half a day. We never managed a 13-page day, but there were at least a couple of eleven pagers.

The Phantom miniseries from SciFi Channel (SyFy)
The Phantom (seen here and here in Turkish form) is getting a miniseries on SciFi Channel. All we know at this time is it will be produced by entertainment company RHI, who is also producing Riverworld and Alice3 in Wonderland miniseries for SciFi Channel (I am sure that Alice in Wonderland miniseries isn’t meant to cash in on Burton’s version…) No word on on the Phantom series will show the Phantom’s love for spanking!

Three Stooges movie looks like a reality
Sigh…
MGM and the Farrelly brothers are finally slapping together their high-profile cast for “The Three Stooges,” a comedy project the filmmakers have been developing for years. Sean Penn is set to play Larry, and Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly. Benicio Del Toro is a rumored possibility for their taciturn leader, Moe.
The studio is looking to start production in the fall for a 2010 release slot.
…
Peter and Bobby Farrelly wrote the script, which Bobby has referenced as “Dumb, Dumber & Dumbest,” and will produce with Bradley Thomas and Charlie Wessler. Earl and Robert Benjamin of C3 will executive produce.The film is not a biopic but a fictional treatment that maintains the Stooges’ gleeful slap schtick updated for a modern milieu.
Originally constructed as four separate shorts, the feature screenplay has since been streamlined into a single narrative. Included in the story line is an opening that shows the Stooges as kids in an orphanage, a device that will require some “Benjamin Button”-style visual trickery to place the adult actors’ heads on child actors’ bodies.
Give me Curly Joe over this combo!
