It’s a bonus episode of Nightmare on Film Street, and we’ve gone ghostly! Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they crack open the coffin lid on 13 Ghosts: The Series. Think back to William Castle’s iconic 1960 rendition and then fast-forward to its 2001 Dark Castle revamp. Feeling nostalgic yet? Well, hold onto your ghost detectors because there’s a brand new chapter unfolding.

Stepping into our spooky studio are Series Creators Patrick Mediate, Ashley Robinson, and Aaron McLane of Primordial Pictures. They’ve been huddling with Dark Castle Entertainment, cooking up a television series concept for 13 Ghosts. And here’s the kicker: they’re dabbling with Augmented Reality. Think your regular binge-watch, but with a ghostly cameo in your snack bowl.

But wait, there’s a plot twist! While Dark Castle’s giving a thumbs up, Sony Pictures Television is still playing hard to get. What’s...

When it was released back in 2001, Dark Castle Entertainment’s remake Thirteen Ghosts (stylized as Thir13en Ghosts) didn’t exactly set the box office on fire, scaring up just $68 million worldwide on a sizable production budget of $42 million. Reviews for the film were also largely negative at the time, making it both a financial as well as a critical misfire.

But the times, well, they have changed. Like many horror movies over the years, director Steve Beck’s Thirteen Ghosts has been re-evaluated in the two decades since its original theatrical release, becoming something of a fan favorite here in 2023. Fans have come to appreciate the gruesome effects, the big budget production design, and the titular monsters themselves, which came equipped with their own backstories thanks to a DVD special feature that we’ve written about in the past. And it’s safe to say Dark Castle has noticed this renewed interest.

Thirteen Ghosts, a classic horror film from 2001, is being adapted into a series by Dark Castle Entertainment, the same team behind the original reboot. The series will explore a different ghost in each episode, drawing inspiration from the original film and incorporating international supernatural tales. There is potential for the series to incorporate augmented reality (Ar) technology, allowing viewers to see additional ghosts in their own homes through an app, taking the horror experience to a new level.

A phantasmal sensation is in the air as the 2001 horror film Thirteen Ghosts is getting a new lease of life. The haunting legacy continues with the announcement of a series adaptation, courtesy of Dark Castle Entertainment—the creative minds behind the original reboot.

In the rich landscape of ghost lore, Thirteen Ghosts has been a chilling presence for generations. The story began with director William Castle's 13 Ghosts in 1960, which was...

Dark Castle Entertainment has a Thirteen Ghosts series adaptation in the works, and pitch photos for the show have been unveiled.

Recently, Dread Central reported that Dark Castle, the company behind the 2001 film reboot, had plans for a TV series adaptation. A handful of pitch images were also revealed, teasing what could be in store for the potential show. Some additional images of the pitch photos were shared with Horror Geek Life, including looks at Dennis Rafkin's ghost-catching machine, a peek into the mind of Cyrus Kriticos, and a tease of the backstory for the Angry Princess ghost.

Wyoming is headed to West End. Brokeback Mountain — Annie Proulx’s short story made popular by the 2005 film — is getting a stage adaptation set to premiere in London, starring Lucas Hedges and Mike Faist as closeted cowboys Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist. It marks both actors’ West End debuts.

Variety reports that the West End adaptation of Brokeback Mountain is slated to premiere at the venue @sohoplace, and will play from May 10th through August 12th, 2023. Although there’s no Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in this go around, Proulx said in a statement that the “script is fresh and deeply moving, opening sight lines not visible in the original nor successive treatments,” which seems like a promising co-sign.

The play Brokeback Mountain was written by Ashley Robinson, with songs by Dan Gillespie Sells. Jonathan Butterell directs, and it’s produced by Nica Burns with Adam Blanshay Productions, Lambert Jackson Productions...

A stage adaptation of Brokeback Mountain will come to the West End this spring, starring Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges.

The adaptation, which calls itself “a new play with music,” is based on Annie Proulx’s short story, which was later adapted into the 2005 film. The stage version was written by Ashley Robinson and features direction by Jonathan Butterell and songs by Dan Gillespie Sells.

The show will make its world premiere at London’s Soho Place and run from May 10 through August 12.

Hedges, who was Oscar-nominated for his role in Manchester By the Sea and has performed on Broadway, will play Ennis, the role portrayed by Heath Ledger in the film adaptation. Faist, who recently appeared on Broadway and in the West Side Story film, will play Jack, the role portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal. Both actors will make their West End debuts with the show.

“Brokeback Mountain” is set as a stage production.

Almost two decades since the acclaimed 2005 film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger debuted, “Brokeback Mountain” is confirmed as a West End play. Oscar-nominated star Lucas Hedges (“Manchester on the Sea”) will play the part of Ennis Del Mar, with BAFTA-nominated “West Side Story” breakout Mike Faist cast as Jack Twist.

“Brokeback Mountain” is based on the New Yorker short story by Annie Proulx. Producer Nica Burns stated that the play is inspired solely from the 1997 short story and not Ang Lee’s film, according to Deadline. Production will be a play with music and debut at the Sohoplace Theatre in the West End for a 12-week season starting May 10.

“Brokeback Mountain” centers on two cowboys who fall in love in Wyoming. Ashley Robinson adapted the script, with “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” director Jonathan Butterell helming the play with collaborator Dan Gillespie Sells...

"Crash" winning Best Picture over "Brokeback Mountain" is easily one of the biggest upsets in modern Oscar history. The Academy's decision was already highly contentious and has only aged like sour milk in the decades since. Ang Lee's tragic romance, on the other hand, remains a touchstone for positive queer representation in mainstream cinema. To dismiss it as the embodiment of the "Bury Your Gays" trope is to approach the film in a vacuum. At a time when homophobic humor intended to assuage the insecurities of straight audiences was commonplace in Hollywood, Lee and his "Brokeback" actors dared to take the story of two men falling in love seriously.

According to Deadline, the tale of cowboys Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist is getting a new lease on life thanks to a London stage production based on Annie Proulx's original 1997 short story (not Lee's movie). Mike Faist and...

BAFTA-nominated Mike Faist and Oscar-nominated actor Lucas Hedges will star in a London stage adaptation of Annie Proulx’s short story Brokeback Mountain.

The production is described as a play with music and will run at the Sohoplace Theatre in the West End for a 12-week season beginning May 10.

Theater owner and producer Nica Burns stressed that the play is based on Proulx’s short story originally published in the New Yorker in 1997 and not on Ang Lee’s acclaimed 2005 film that starred Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Faist, who landed a BAFTA nom for West Side Story, will play the part of Jack Twist. Hedges, whose Oscar nom was for Manchester By the Sea in 2016, will play Ennis Del Mar.

The story of two lonesome cowboys who fall in love in the big, wide open spaces of Wyoming touched a chord with those who read the story and caught the movie.
