That's right peeps, we might not be getting a sequel to the rather brilliant Zombieland , we're going to get a TV series instead. But it won't be a network series, oh no. This mother is going the On Demand route. Seems Amazon .com is trying to compete with Eli Roth 's Netflix original series Hemlock Grove by jump starting the Zombieland project. No word yet on who's in it or when we'll see it, but each 30-minute episode will follow the adventures of a group of survivors who band together during the zombie apocalypse. Unless you've been living under a rock, the Zombieland movie starred Woody Harrelson , Jessie Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin and the lovely Emma Stone , all of whom are pictured above. The verdict is still out on whether Netflix or Amazon can sustain a series like this, but I say go for it. VOD is the wave of the future, and I'd love to see these sites produce good, original content until the cows come home. Source: iO9 Related...

As I continue the countdown to the Mayan apocalypse, I must incorporate a zombie franchise or two. Zombieland became an INSTANT classic. How does this happen? Good chemistry + Bill Murray death scene = EPIC Then toss in the zombies and zombie kills of the week. Woody Harrelson is badass, Emma Stone is hot and Jesse Eisenberg is ...well ..nerdy.  Nothing unexpected there. For a movie to just show up, tackle a tired genre, breathe it new life and become an instant hit with genre lovers?  That is worth seeing at least once. I've seen it a few...dozen times...haha. Never tiring. Definitely a Good if The Basement were to toss a rating on this end times dessert. Since I missed my countdown movie yesterday, I'll do two today, and continue tomorrow. You can't talk about world-ending events without Charlton Heston.  Of all the "end of the world" movies, Heston was involved in, I chose Soylent Green. In real life, Heston was a gun supporting, bug out...

Basement contributor Matt Bellamy has taken it upon himself to watch and review at least one horror movie a day for the month of October . . . because he's awesome that way! For tonight's edition Bellamy has to decide if it's nut up or shut up time. Perhaps more of a straight up comedy than a horror? You can make that argument but it has zombies in it, and it's pretty gory so... I'm saying it counts! Right off the bat, you know this movie is going to be awesome because we jump into some rules you really should abide by in order to survive the zombie apocalypse--limber up, double tap, always check the back seat, just to name a few! Jesse Eisenberg stars as the main character, a young geek (playing comfortably outside his usual roles *cough*), on a journey trying to cross several hundred miles of dangerous and undead landscape to reach his parents who it turns out are actually most like...

Noir-style cop movies aren't all the rage these days, but Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer and stars Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte and Ryan Gosling seem poised to change all that with their upcoming flick Gangster Squad. Sure, the title is a little silly, but the preview below looks anything but. This tale of a rogue band of cops taking down an L.A. gangster during the dirty 30s looks as badass as the production design is beautiful. Did I mention Emma Stone's in this? She is. This is a great cast and, if there's one thing Hollywood is good at, it's putting on a spectacle. Gangster Squad is due out some time this year, and it's a film I am going to keep on my radar. In the meantime, give this trailer a peep and sound of if you are so inclined. PS: excuse the Revlon ad at the beginning. Just click on as soon as you are allowed. It came with the trailer. Promise! PPS: I gotta dust off my fedora and trenchcoat :)
