Blumhouse Acquires ‘Free Fall’ From ‘Getaway’ Scribes!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Blumhouse Productions have acquired, on spec, the latest project from Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker. The same duo that scripted ‘Getaway‘, the 2013 thriller that starred Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and Jon Voight and featured a Shelby Super Snake Mustang, driven by Hawke at breakneck speeds and wrecked so many cars that a junkyard was set up on scene just to repair vehicles. ‘Free Fall‘ won’t have the vehicular overhead ‘Getaway‘ required, the scares and thrills will be achieved by different means.

Hi, Bryan Here….
Jason Blum and his Blumhouse production company have jumped into the Haunted House business.

That is, until one tragic performance when his assistant climbed into a magical box and vanished forever. The theater was shut down instantly and permanently closed to the public … until now.” Sounds cool, but not as cool as Eli Roth’s Goretorium. Press release below.

The ‘Fast and Furious’ Spoof, ‘Superfast’ Has Cast Its Leads!!!
Jana B., Here….
Finally. I’m surprised it’s taken this long for there to be a spoof made from ‘The Fast and Furious‘. The writer-director team of Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg who have both brought us’Vampires Suck‘, (as if ‘Twilight‘ didn’t already show us that), and ‘Meet The Spartans‘. Personally, they ought to be grateful King Leonidas isn’t around to kick their arses all over the place for that one, but I digress. They’re sticking to the method they know best by filling the roles in ‘Superfast‘ with up-and-comers.
