3D ZOMBIELAND AND JACKASS


Sony is making a deal where they would make a 3D sequal to Zombieland. Blood and zombie body parts will be hurtling toward the screen. The original production team is all signed on board for this bloody sequal. Zombieland seems a little more reasonable to go 3D, but what about Jackass?! Thats right, Paramount is coming out with a sequal to Jackass in 3D. Dick Productions will produce it with Spike Jones. The oddest of things are switching over into 3D, who knows what will be next?!

ITUNES PRICES GO UP!


Azcap and BMI, the two main groups that represent and collect fees for song writer composers and music publishers, are trying to collect more money from itunes. More money for them means less in your pocket. Both groups might ask apple to pay a fee every time a customer plays a 30 second preview of a song. They also want to charge a fee for music used in downloaded tv shows. Many people in the industry suspect that this could cause a dramatic price increase through out all of itunes. Sorry all itunes users lets hope the price increase doesn't happen : / but don't worry ill keep you guys posted if I here any more on the topic.

It's about after the Apocalypse, when all humans are dead because machines have taken over. It is the harsh topic of man vs. machine. But one scientist brings his little puppets in hopes that something sort of human lives on. Now that the puppets are alive they have to battle the machines. The movie is supposed to be action packed, fun to watch and make you think. Lets hope it lives up to its reputation!

SCOUT TAYLOR!


Scout Taylor-Compton, from Halloween 1 and 2, wasn't very freaked out about all the blood a dead bodies on set. Wanna know why? Because her dad was a MORTICIAN! Thats right Scout's dad dealt with dead bodies all day. Apparently she grew up in a mortuary for half of her childhood. Scout even used to help out! She would embalm the bodies. EW! So the fake dead bodies were nothing to her compared to the real ones her and her dad used to work on. Do you think that it's just a coincidence that she went in horror films?
