Rob Lowe Directing Candy Bar Horror Short Film BUTTERFINGER THE 13TH
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 13th, 2011 at 1:51 pm


Rob Lowe is kind of on fire these days. He’s killing it every week on Parks and Recreation, he has a New York Times best-selling memoir flying off shelves, and he recently signed on to return to his West Wing roots as a political operative in Knife Fight. Now, he’s taking his talents to horror. Candy bar horror, to be more specific. Lowe will be directing a 25-minute short film for Butterfinger called Butterfinger the 13th. The horror-comedy is set to be released on October 13th, just in time for Halloween.


Hit the jump to check out the sweet (zing!) teaser trailer for the film, as well as a tongue-in-cheek press release.

Trailer for Rod Lurie’s Remake of STRAW DOGS
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 13th, 2011 at 12:25 pm


The trailer for Rod Lurie’s remake of Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs has gone online. The remake transplants the story from rural England to the deep South where a screenwriter (James Marsden) and his wife (Kate Bosworth) relocate to her hometown. Like in the original, they encounter hostility from the locals and matters get increasingly worse for the couple from there. I’m not familiar with Lurie’s original but I’m liking the Southern setting in the trailer, and Skarsgård is positively creepy as the antagonist.


Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film also stars Alexander Skarsgård, Dominic Purcell, Laz Alonso, Walton Goggins, and James Woods. Straw Dogs opens September 16th.

DreamWorks has released the first trailer for Craig Gillespie’s 3D remake of Fright Night which stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant and Imogen Poots, I did a set visit for Fright Night and recently watched twenty minutes of the film in a Santa Monica editing suite. I’m confident the remake is going to be cool. Judge for yourself by checking out the trailer after the jump along with the poster. Fright Night hits theaters August 19th.
