About those Halloween 3 rumours . . .

They're true.

- 30 -

I kid, I kid. But not about those Halloween 3 rumours being true.

Bloody Disgusting, along with The Basement and several other horror/news sites on the Interwebs, reported earlier this week that The Weinstein Company was developing a third film in the new Halloween franchise kicked off by Rob Zombie's two controversial flicks.

The buzz was enough to prompt the HalloweenMovie.com site to publish a statement about the state of a third -- or eighth, depending on how you count it -- Halloween film. Here it is:

"As you know, we do not comment on rumours regarding a Halloween film in any stage of production no matter how accurate or inaccurate they may be. However, over the past few months, we have been flooded with ton(s) of emails, tweets, Facebook postings etc. . . regarding the state of the next instalment.

As we stated before, we are dedicate to the fans of the Halloween series just as much as we are dedicated to delivering a film we believe the fans deserve and will, most importantly, love. With that being said, we can confirm a new instalment of Halloween is indeed on track and moving forward. We are currently developing a script, to finally bring Michael back to the theatres!"

So there you have it, Halloween 3 is coming, and it will feature Michael Myers. No word on if it'll be in 3D, 2D or some other dimension. We in The Basement have our fingers crossed for 2D.

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e...

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo...
