August 26: Blood on the streets...

After shooting a humiliating demise last week for Jim McKenny's DEATH TO THE AUTOMATONS, Fessenden this week faced the grim reaper again for a special appearance in MULBERRY STREET, a low budget horror pic from newcomer Jim Mickle, now shooting nights in downtown Manhattan.

 

August 24: DEATH TO THE AUTOMATONS
enters the next stage of production!

It's scale models, special effects and explosions galore!


 

August 23: Feeling RIPPED OFF?

Fans are complaining about Lions Gate's deceptive packaging for THE OFF SEASON, which depicts a corpse rising from a spooky graveyard. Hey, we love the image, but that ain't in the movie!

We begged them to change it, so don't blame us. Give 'em hell here.

Lions Gate is cool; they're doing a lot for horror these days, but hey, a little respect for the fans and the filmmakers, please.

 

August 22 - Principal photography on DEATH TO THE AUTOMATONS wraps!

Question: "What was the impetus for shooting “Death to Automatons” in black and white versus color?"
JFM: "Color is for suckers. It’s just a fad. It’ll never last."

July 25 2005 - VARIETY batty for THE ROOST.

The Roost
By ROBERT KOEHLER
A movie with bats in its belfry, "The Roost" celebrates and restores the 1970s B-horror pic with zero gloss and terrific, rough-hewn craft. Imagining what happens when a group of young people en route to a friend's wedding get sidetracked at a farm taken over by vampire bats, debuting helmer Ti West taps into the realist-horror spirit of mentor and exec producer Larry Fessenden, and makes a scarier pic than any by his master. Distrib Vitagraph should have no problem finding eyeballs for horror fare this genuinely creepy. Future midnight haunts are a lock. (more)

May 21 : Jim Jarmusch's BROKEN FLOWERS wins the Grand Prix at Cannes!

"I would also like to say quickly that I do not believe in competition for artistic works. It's already an honor to be selected in the competition and to be here next to such great directors as Atom Egoyan, David Cronenberg, Amos Gitaï, Lars Von Trier, Gus Van Sant, Johnnie To and Mr. Hou Hsiao-Hsien as I am one of his students, Wim Wenders who has been so generous with me when I began making movies 20 years ago and Robert Rodriguez. I accept this award in the name of all filmmakers who follow their heart and make films that interpret their vision. We are part of the same family and it's an honor to be included in this family."
