The theatrical reissue of Sam Raimi’s classic THE EVIL DEAD is in full swing, having launched last Friday in Los Angeles to a sold-out crowd, and the folks at Grindhouse Releasing got in touch with the very latest on the shows.

The NIGHT OF THE DEMONS remake directed by Adam Gierasch has been bouncing around the release schedule for a while now, but now it looks like the update of Kevin S. Tenney’s 1988 Linnea Quigley-starrer has finally settled on a date.

This week sees the beginning of the 2010 edition of South by Southwest, the music and film celebration that aims to introduce the world to new cinematic talent. One of them is Gareth Edwards, whose movie MONSTERS is among the five SX Fantastic genre features being presented at the event by Fantastic Fest. Fango spoke to the visual FX artist turned writer/director as he awaits MONSTERS’ SXSW world premiere this Saturday, March 13.

Not since the liger has an animal hybrid generated so much buzz. Syfy has announced that Eric Roberts will star in SHARKTOPUS, a new Original Movie being produced by Roger Corman that will premiere on the channel later this year.
