![]() ![]() Last but not least, Guillermo del Toro will direct a new version of Frankenstein over at Netflix, says Deadline. “Faces of Death was one of the first viral video tapes, and we are so lucky to be able to use it as a jumping off point for this exploration of cycles of violence and the way they perpetuate themselves online,” said Mazzei and Goldhaber in a statement. Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber will be at the helm. ![]() Meanwhile, a remake of Faces of Death starring Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things”) and Barbie Ferreira (“Euphoria”) is set up at Legendary Entertainment, per THR. Tom Gormican ( The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) would direct the film, likely a big screen venture for an I.P that’s been relegated to low-budget streaming in recent years. Sony is said to be returning to the jungles for a new Anaconda, according to internet scooper Daniel RPK. It’s just one cliche after the other, and essentially has no redeeming qualities, but I get what FauntLeRoy was trying to do here and I don’t hate it.Remakes are still as trendy as lip-syncing on TikTok, it would seem. But somewhere in the story of an eccentric billionaire (Rhys-Davies) who wants to live forever and is trying to find the snake blood from the second film, the mercenary team he hires to make sure it gets transferred, and an unexpected hero female scientist this movie was not terrible to watch. And John Rhys-Davies plays a maniacal bad guy who is believable as El Jefe. He chews scenery with full knowledge of how rough the dialog is and makes the most of it. For one, they should have leaned harder on Hasselhoff. Okay, I know a lot of that could be explained by FauntLeRoy just doing what he could with a limited budget, but there were other problems. ![]() Also, every time they’re in the interior of a jeep or car there’s a crazy cheap green screen that makes it seem like they are driving in a green screen booth that someone rented for their wedding as a joke. It’s not even rendered well on the screen so it feels like it’s digitally added in and also poorly made. So, by the third film everything regressed and the snakes look like someone’s teenager spent a few hours on a free CGI training program and created a big snake. Especially noticeable since the first two Anaconda films set the visuals for what the movies should look like. I’m not saying these are good or bad, just that special effects and CGI had advanced to that stage.Īnd I know that this was direct to TV so the budget was smaller, but the CGI was super bad. The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Indiana’s Crystal Skull, Twilight, and Prince Caspian (Narnia). In a moment I’m going to shit on the special effects so I want to quickly mention what else came out in 2008. He also directed a few TV movies and was given the keys to the Anaconda kingdom around 2007/8. ![]() FauntLeRoy, is a renowned DP who got started on the Munchie franchise and has 69 credits including Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2. This franchise really fell off an anaconda-sized cliff. A pretty well-known cast to make a pretty bad movie. For this one they managed to lasso in David Hasselhoff, John Rhys-Davies, and b-movie stars Crystal Allen, Patrick Regis, and Ryan McCluskey. So apparently Anaconda 3 and 4 are a story that is directly tied together. As part of the 88 Films Anaconda Deluxe Collector’s Edition IMDB ![]()
