Amber Heard and William Fichtner Might DRIVE ANGRY With Nicolas Cage

Patrick Lussier’s Drive Angry 3D already has its leading man in Nicolas Cage, but our own Steven Weintraub can confirm Blood Disgusting’s scoop that William Fichtner and Amber Heard are in talks to star alongside Cage. Fichtner, whom many of you might remember for playing the bank manager with the shotgun in the opening sequence of The Dark Knight, is a veteran with over 50 acting credits to his name. Meanwhile, Heard has been on a roll lately, recently starring in The Stepfather and has four films in post-production.  Here’s the synopsis for Drive Angry 3D:

The story centers on a man (Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway.

The screenplay, penned by Lussier and Todd Farmer, reunites the team behind My Bloody Valentine 3D, which Patrick Lussier directed and Todd Farmer helped script. Filming is set to begin in Louisiana in March with a planned Feb. 11, 2011 release by Summit.  For more on Drive Angry 3D, read this.

Exclusive: Producer Mike De Luca on Nicolas Cage’s DRIVE ANGRY and Alex Proyas’ DRACULA YEAR ZERO

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 13th, 2010 at 12:05 am

If you’ve been reading Collider the past few days, you’ve seen what I’m calling “7 Days with Producer Mike De Luca”.  The reason for the name is, I was able to speak with De Luca for an extended amount of time and rather than post everything at once, I’ve broken our conversation up into smaller parts.  I’ve already posted what he said about the Metal Gear Solid movie and Ghost Rider 2, and now it’s time for his updates on Drive Angry and Dracula Year Zero.

If you haven’t heard of Drive Angry, it’s going to star Nicolas Cage and it’ll center on a man who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby.  It’s going to be a hard R and in 3D.  Also, it’s directed by Patrick Lussier, who recently did the very fun My Bloody Valentine 3D.  According to De Luca, “it’s hyper pulpy.”  He also says we can expect “car parts and body parts flying at you in 3D.”  Awesome.

The other update was on Alex Proyas’ Dracula Year Zero.  According to De Luca, the project is still at Universal and he’s trying to get the studio to think it could be one of their big tentpole releases.  He says,  “as written it’s literally on the scale of Braveheart with Dracula.”  Much more after the jump:

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D DVD Review

by Brett Weinstock    Posted: May 25th, 2009 at 11:02 am

The original “My Bloody Valentine” came out in 1981 and is considered a cult classic.  Though not many saw it, those who have (including me) have developed a following for its downright intense death sequences and inventive ideas (for its time).  In fact, Tarantino himself called it his favorite slasher film of the 80′s.  Since everything these days is either a sequel or remake, it was only a matter of time before Lionsgate decided to release a newer, updated version of the film.  Instead of just creating some garbage, popcorn movie, they decided to spend a lot of money getting a decent cast and implementing the use of 3-d technology.  Honestly, the results were not disappointing.
