Director Albert Pyun tries his hand at this latest adaptation of the Lovecraft classic. Morgan Weisser star of other Pyun movies including Bulletface (2010) and Infection (2005) leads a small but experienced cast that includes his father Norbert Weisser horror fans will remember him from his brief but memorable role as the crazy Norwegian in The Thing (1982) and Crystal Green (who also starred in Bulletface). Although made on a shoestring budget the few who have seen H.P. Lovecrafts Cool Air seem to like it. A veteran director and seasoned actors will hopefully make this adaptation work. We will see.

Even back in the day Marvel was tryinig to get some of its titles out in movie form but wasn't successful. There's been a Punsher that starred Dolph Lundgren and even a Fantastic 4 movie that was so cheesy it got shelved and has never seen the light of day and we also had a Captain America movie that will finally be getting a Director's Cut on blu-ray in May.
Director Albert Pyun says that the film once had a huge budget and the n the backers backed out and the film had to be finished on a shoe string budget. Pynn is going to ride the coat tails "so-to-speak" with the big screen release of Captain America and his recent Director's Cut release of Cyborg.
Here's what Pynn is describing his cut as;
It will be based on "my own 35 mm CA work picture and temp mix [that] I did before I left [the] picture.

One of the earliest (and best) cinéma-vérité films to cross our desks was Albert Pyun's 2005 one-take wonder Infection, which was renamed Invasion (review here) for its DVD release, so you can bet our ears perked up today when we learned a sequel is on its way!
Here's what director Pyun told us, "We begin shooting Infection (aka Invasion) 2 in Nevada on March 28. The original cast is back (Jenny Dare Paulin, Norbert Weisser, Scott Paulin, Morgan Weisser, Alan Abelew) to continue the struggle against the spread of infection."
Pyun adds that additional casting is being done by Norbert Weisser and includes a much bigger cast and much more action and creatures than the original film.
He continues, "Again, it will be a single unedited shot that will follow the infection into a small town. It will be set in the time period between 1:40 Am (when the first film ended) and 3:00 Am.

The down side to this current boom in first-person perspective horror films is that it gives many people the idea that all you need to succeed is to be cheap, as though somehow removing the need for complicated camera setups and heavy duty post production also removes the need to have actual talent. For every Oren Peli or Jaume Balaguero there are scores of others out there cranking out frankly unwatchable junk that they trumpet as the next Paranormal Activity or [Rec]. The vast majority of these films will, justifiably, never be heard of and simply disappear.
The good side, however, is that true talent rises quickly. When you can't hide what you're doing in expensive post production effects and all there is is you and your camera it becomes immediately obvious where the real talent is. And Uruguayan director Gustavo Hernandez - to say nothing of his Dp Pedro Luque...

There's a lot going on in the horror world right now, a welcome change for the traditionally bland month of December. Below the jump you'll find quick updates from around the web and the trades for True Blood, Night Of The Living Dead: Origins, Daybreakers, The Chronicles Of Riddick 3, Zombieland 2, Invasion, [Rec] 3, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and more.
Castings:
True Blood has gained a new werewolf and a new vampire. THR announced that Ugly Betty's Grant Fowler has joined the cast as a werewolf named Coot, with newcomer Theo Alexander as Talbot, an "intensely beautiful" vampire. This comes just a day after Prison Break's Marshall Allman and Quarantine's Denis O'Hare joined the cast (as Sam's lost brother and the Vampire King of Mississippi) as reported on our Starlog site. Filming on Season 3 began this week. Night Of The Living Dead: Origins, a CGI "reimagining/prequel" of/to George A. Romero...
