Last year's "Gnomeo & Juliet," which had a long and tortuous production history, even for the admittedly even-more-arduous standards of animation, turned out to be a surprise box office hit, taking in almost $100 million at the domestic box office (with another $95 million overseas). William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," very loosely translated (i.e. decidedly in lacking in suicide) to the world of British garden gnomes was spritely and fun, and benefited from the songs and input of producer Elton John. Well, a sequel is now underway, with a talented director and an amazing title. That's right folks, look out for… "Sherlock Gnomes." Elementary! According to a press release (via Collider), the new film will be directed by the great British animation director John Stevenson, an industry veteran whose work goes all the way back to Jim Henson's "Muppet Show" (he worked as a story artist on Henson productions...

Masters of the Universe, a film based on the He-Man Mattel toy line, has been in development for years. Attempts to get a movie made in 2008 with Kung-Fu Panda director John Stevenson didn’t work out at Warner Bros., so Columbia picked up the project. Very little has been heard since 2010 when Mike Finch [...]

A while ago we reported on a 3D animated remake of The Last Broadcast, which if you remember followed two filmmakers, Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler, as they had their own hunt in the woods looking for a nasty local legend pre-Blair Witch. Today we learned a bit more.
Filmmaker John Stevenson dropped us a line with a quick update.
"A brand new script is being written for the remake, and I am abandoning plans to make a 3D animated film," Stevenson tells us. "Michele Pulaski and James Seward are still reprising their roles for the remake. The film will be set in present day, incorporating present social networking and technology into the film. Interior scenes will be shot in a converted warehouse when the script is finished and exterior filming will be shot in Port Republic, NJ and Batsto."
Look for more on this one soon.

Nothing shocks us anymore. Nothing. Way back in 1998, even before The Blair Witch Project became the phenom that it was, two filmmakers, Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler, had their own hunt in the woods looking for a nasty local legend in The Last Broadcast. The film played like an A&E documentary with an ending so polarizing that many either sing its praises or damn it to hell. If you missed it, don't worry. Something wicked this way comes.
We received word today that filmmaker John Stevenson is hard at work on a 3D animated remake of The Last Broadcast. The film is being produced by Loyal's House of Blood Production, and Victor Miller (writer of Friday the 13th) is serving as associate producer. Even more interesting ... Michele Pulaski and James Seward are reprising their roles as the characters Michelle Monarch and Jim Suerd.
