Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday was a bonkers sequel that took the simple masked slasher movie franchise to new heights (or new depths?). The early 90s film that attempted to end the franchise was hated by critics and very divisive with fans. However, now you can get the full story of what the creative people were thinking as director Adam Marcus recalls being a bright-eyed, fresh-faced film student who was given the keys to the kingdom and didn’t exactly know what to do with the newly purchased property from New Line Cinema. The trailer for Hearts of Darkness: The Making of The Final Friday is now here.

Marcus has spoken directly with fans as he announced that the documentary is “almost 2 hours long.” The Blu-ray edition will feature “another 2 hours of goodness that we could not fit in a theatrical feature film! Oh yeah! We’ve got...

Skeleton Crew Productions has revealed the official trailer for Hearts of Darkness: The Making of The Final Friday, a feature-length documentary on the creation and legacy of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.

Adam Marcus, director of the divisive 1993 sequel, serves a producer in addition to being interviewed alongside stars Kane Hodder, Steven Williams, and John D. LeMay.

Other participants include actors Steven Culp, Rusty Schwimmer, Richard Gant, Kipp Marcus, Andrew Bloch, Allison Smith, Julie Michaels, Michelle Clunie, Michael B. Silver, Kathryn Atwood, and Jonathan Penner, composer Harry Manfredini, and special makeup effects artists Howard Berger and Robert Kurtzman.

Hearts of Darkness will have its world premiere at FrightFest Glasgow on March 8 and its U.S. premiere at Texas Frightmare Weekend in May, both with Marcus in attendance.

The filmmaker will be touring with it for more screenings around the country. A Blu-ray and streaming deal is in the works.

A documentary covering the 1993 Friday the 13th sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here) has been in the works for quite a while, and about eight months ago Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to give a promising update on its progress, saying that it was about to go through the color timing and sound mixing stages of post-production. It has been longer than expected, but now Marcus has given another update, letting fans know that the color timing and sound mixing are finally happening this month.

Before the week began, Marcus wrote, “The doc just went through legal and has been approved. Which means we are officially Locked! This means the film is completed from an editing stage and we’ve taken all the steps to ensure that the film meets all the standards to be released.

This past Sunday, August 13th, marked the thirtieth anniversary of one of the most divisive entries in the Friday the 13th franchise, 1993’s Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here). To mark the occasion, Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to announce that an epic documentary on the film, Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday, is almost finished!

Marcus said, “The picture is locked. Our soundtrack is just days away from completion. It will only have to go through Color Timing next week, Sound Mix the week after and then has to be seen by our legal team (Larry Zerner in Jason’s house!) and then we’re done! I will, at that time, include all of you in what we are working on for our Distribution and Film Festival & Convention schedule. You are, after all,...

Thom Bell, who helped to create the soul songs style that became known in the 1960s and 1970s as “The Sound of Philadelphia,” died Thursday in Bellingham, Washington. He was 79 and no cause of death was given.

His lawyer, Michael Silver, confirmed the death.

Bell, along with fellow producers and songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, were the forces behind the lush orchestrations that characterized The Sound of Philadelphia. Bell, Gamble, and Huff were known as “The Mighty Three,” working out of a Broad Street building and creating a song factory that dominated the era’s charts and Top 40.

Dyanna Williams, a music journalist and broadcast personality, announced Bell’s death on her social media accounts Thursday afternoon.

Monday’s episode of The Good Doctor marked a major milestone for Shaun and Lea — one that promises to radically alter the trajectory of their relationship.

At the start of the hour, Lea’s car was seized by a sleazy tow truck operator named Tricky, who refused to cut her any slack for having her vintage automobile parked in someone else’s spot. St. Bonaventure’s heroic head of It insisted the spot belonged to her, but Shaun refused to lie on his girlfriend’s behalf.

Garcelle Beauvais, who plays Hanna Linden on TNT’s drunk lawyer show Franklin & Bash, is going to go up the dial a bit to a guest-spot on TV Land’s original sitcom, The Exes, starringScrubs’s Donald Faison. The episode is set to air July 25th.

Beauvais (who dropped the Nilon off her name after she got divorced last year) has been doing well so far into Franklin & Bash season 2. I wouldn’t go so far as to hail her as a great actress, but her portrayal of Hanna Linden is well-executed. She and the sleazy Damien Karp (also well played by Reed Diamond) are attempting behind the scenes to get our heroes F & B drummed out of the prestigious Infeld Daniels law firm where they all work, but when Hanna has to work with our party boys, she genuinely seems to enjoy their company and what they do. She...

This bold, strange poster for Georges Franju’s 1974 Nuits rouges is one of my all-time favorites, one I’d love to own, though I haven’t seen the film itself. There is something very contemporary (or at least end of last century) about its simple Helvetica tagline announcing “Le Nouveau Franju” and more especially its grid system credit block, also in Helvetica (which reminds me of Spiritualized’s 1997 CD, or the 1996 Trainspotting campaign). The letterman jacket typeface for the title is a bit of an anomaly, but the red letters nicely echo the stunning red mask looming over what at first glance seems to be a cityscape but which turns out to be a pile of crates.

I can’t decipher the artist’s name on the poster (running up the side of one of the crates) so if anyone recognizes it I’d love to know what it is.

On this week's episode of USA's "Royal Pains" (Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Et), Hank (Mark Feuerstein) -- an emergency doctor, who's wrongly blamed for a patient's death and moves to The Hamptons -- is dealing with the business split from his brother Evan (Paulo Costanzo) and of course, treating yet another wealthy Hamptonite.

As Hank examines a patient (guest star and "NYPD Blue" alum Michael B. Silver) in our exclusive sneak peek below, he seems to wonder if the ailment is connected to his manscaping tendencies. As the patient says of his bare chest, "It's for the ladies ... Clean and smooth like a sexy porpoise." (Apparently, "sexy porpoise" is a thing.)

Here's the official description of the episode, entitled "Dawn of the Med":

Hank and Evan heatedly compete for a new business opportunity. Stubborn illnesses in three different patients turn out to be related. Divya attempts to covertly reconcile the brothers' differences,...

HankMed’s newest doc, Dr. Jeremiah Sacani (Ben Shenkman), has certainly proved that he has some personality challenges to overcome. But could his challenges turn out to work in his favor?

“In this scene, there’s a moment when he and Divya begin to see that there might be some potential for this guy because...

Horatio (David Caruso) and Tripp (Rex Linn) escort the last of the escaped prisoners, Jack Toller (Callum Keith Rennie) back to Miami on a plane. Tripp threatens him with putting the medal he receives for catching him between his forehead, after being taunted by Toller for taking so long for them to find him. Toller is remembered for the gruesome way in which he cremated his Vics. Horatio finally notices the plane is off course and the pilot, Capt Winston (Bo Kane) tells him he had to do it. Horatio tells him they had priority to Miami. That's what you get for using a private plane and pilot, what happened to police pilots. An altercation ensues between the crewman (Austin Priester) on the plane and Tripp is hit in the head. Toller releases his cuffs from the seat and escapes. Horatio has to choose between shooting the crewman or Toller.

While original TV movies continue to struggle on broadcast TV as evident by the underwhelming ratings for the Hallmark Hall Of Fame film on ABC last night, the genre’s resurgence on basic cable continues. TNT has decided to extend its Mystery Movie Night franchise into the spring, greenlighting today the original movie Hornet’s Nest, an adaptation of the Patricia Cornwall novel that will star Sherry Stringfield and Virginia Madsen. The green light for Hornet’s Nest comes ahead of the debut of the TNT Mystery Movie Night, which features original movies based on popular crime novels. The franchise is set to premiere tomorrow with Scott Turow’s Innocent and continues Wednesday with the Sandra Brown novel Ricochet, starring John Corbett, Julie Benz and Gary Cole. The series will feature six movies this month and in December before returning in the spring with Hornet’s Nest and three other movies to be announced.

Filed under: TV News

'ER' veteran Sherry Stringfield will co-star opposite Virginia Madsen in TNT's 'Hornet's Nest.'

Based on the Patricia Cornwell novel, the film will be part of TNT's Mystery Movie Night and debut spring 2012. Madsen will play police chief Judy Hammer and Stringfield will play her top deputy, Virigina West. The two make a serial killer their top priority.

Robbie Amell plays reporter Andy Brazil, Michael Boatman co-stars as Richard Panesa and Michael Silver rounds out the cast as Hammer's deputy chief, Adam Goode. Hammer pairs Stringfield's character up with Brazil's cub reporter, causing some friction.

If you know anything about video games you’ll know by now that La Noire is a detective thriller, set in 1940s Los Angeles and made by Rockstar – the same guys behind Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. You just might have heard that it was the first video game to bag a slot at the Robert De Nero’s Tribeca Film Festival, back in April. But what you most certainly know is that it boasts fantastic, hitherto unprecedented, motion capture for a video game. This development has enabled Rockstar’s Team Bondi to focus the bulk of the game around gauging the facial expressions of crime suspects.

This gameplay mechanic wouldn’t have been possible without the technology backing it up, as La Noire boasts frighteningly realistic and often incredibly subtle facial expressions. Yet Rockstar needed more than just technology if they were to create dozens of distinct...

Love Shack is a gleeful, slick faux documentary in the grand tradition of Best in Show and This Is Spinal Tap – except instead of dog shows or hair bands, this flick takes aim at the porn industry. Directed by Gregg Saccon and Michael B. Silver, it's a decidedly goofy, gay-inclusive, PG-13-appropriate take on the making of a "legacy" porn flick.

A cast of commentators, including former porn stars, a "professional" porn historian and a VH1 "I Love the 80s" style snarkmeister begin the picture, detailing the life of recently deceased "Mo Saltzman" (Ian Gomez), a beloved and wildly successful porn producer with 40 years of "commercially and artistically successful" films under his belt.

Mo has left an artistic legacy, according to the "academic" commentator, an empire according to Mr. Snark, and a loving, non-traditional family, according to his many stars. Now in their 50s and 60s, former performers recall their...
