News today for those hungering for a foot-long sandwich covered in chocolate sauce that you might want to share with a few of your closest friends: A sequel to “The Human Centipede: First Sequence” is now in the works. This however, is not exactly news as director Tom Six revealed his sequel plans earlier this year with the subtitle, “The Full Sequence” (yes, more bodies, more, “attachments,” ahem). Still, now people actually know what the film is and can be grossed out even further. The original remains, to this day, the most baffling A- review ever given out by The Playlist (context there if you have no clue what that fucked up film is about). [BBC]
David Koechner, probably still best remembered for playing Champ Kind in “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” has apparently been offered a role in “Final Destination 5,” and a bunch of people you’ve never heard of — Nicholas D’Agosto, Ellen Wroe, Meghan Ory, Miles Fisher and Arlen Escarpeta — are also part of the cast. [Bloody Disgusting]
Rob Reiner’s coming-of-age romantic comedy “Flipped,” starring Rebecca De Mornay and Anthony Edwards was supposed to go wide, but has pretty much died in limited release and won’t expand. [THR]
TV actress Emily Montague (“Melrose Place,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Days of Our Lives”) has joined the cast of Craig Gillespie’s “Fright Night” remake starring Colin Farrell, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant, Toni Colette and Anton Yelchin. That disparate cast sounds like something out of Robert Rodriguez’s “The Faculty” or “House on Haunted Hill” (both in the late 90s that both starred Famke Janssen when she was trying to find her career sea legs). Montague will play a vampire. [THR]
It's an odd, odd year when "Human Centipede" ranks as one of the least disturbing films one has scene in the past few months.
The Human Centipede is fucking brilliant.
I hope they don't just regurgitate stuff from the first film HEY YO.
…and I'm out!
