The Stanley Film Festival has just announced its lineup – and, as usual, it looks amazing: an exciting mix of new and classic fear films. I hope you can join me and the rest of the attendees for all the fun — at the historic Colorado hotel that inspired Stephen King to write THE SHINING, and where we shot the miniseries! One of this year’s highlights will be a special 30th Anniversary screening of RE-ANIMATOR (1985), Stuart Gordon’s seminal adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s tale. I will be hosting a chat with Stuart at the event. The Festival will also be presenting Stuart with its Masters of Horror Award. Other festival screenings will include new films by Adrian Garcia Bogliano, Takashi Miike
As part of their on-going “Friday Night Frights” series, the Los Angeles-based Cine-Family will host a very special screening of SLEEPWALKERS (1992) – on Midnight, April 24th. I’ll be on hand for the fun, along with co-stars Brian Krause and Mädchen Amick. Anders Holm (a huge fan of the film) from Workaholics will also be there. Here’s how Cine-Family describes the movie: “SLEEPWALKERS marked the first of many collaborations between Stephen King and director Mick Garris, who would later go on to helm the TV versions of THE SHINING, THE STAND and DESPERATION — and damn, is it a doozy. Brian Krause and the always-haunting Alice Krige star as a mother/son team of shape-shifting energy vampires
UNBROKEN (2014) — the incredible and inspiring true story of my father-in-law, Louis Zamperini — is now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Based on the best-selling book by Laura Hillenbrand, adapted by Joel and Ethan Coen, directed by Anjelina Jolie, and starring Jack O'Connell — it’s a magnificent production, and one of this most highly regarded and successful films of last year. I served as an Executive Producer on the film, and am so proud to have been a part of it. The Blu-ray/DVD also features a generous and fascinating array of bonus features. You can order your copy here.
