A few years ago Oren Uziel wrote a script called The Kitchen Sink, a horror-sci-fi-comedy mashup that combined vampires, zombies, and aliens and had Jonah Hill attached to direct until he landed himself an Academy Award nomination and exited the project as fast as he could. Sony then tapped Robbie Pickering (Natural Selection) to direct the picture instead, and now years later, it’s finally set for a release under a new title. Fans of horror comedy might be interested in Freaks of Nature, a bizarre mishmash of Monster Squad and Zombieland, about a small American town that gets caught in a war between the undead.
Starring Nicholas Braun, Mackenzie Davis, Ed Westwick, Vanessa Hudgens, Keegan-Michael Key, Joan Cusack, Bob Odenkirk, Denis Leary, and Cerina Vincent, Freaks of Nature opens just in time for Halloween on October 30th. Watch the trailer below.

Deadliest Warrior Comic-Con interviews! We speak to the panel of Spike's Deadliest Warrior: Vampires vs. Zombies, including Dr. Armand Dorian, Richard "Mack Machowicz and Robert Daly, as well as Steve Niles, writer of 30 Days of Night and Max Brooks, writer of the World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide novels, both of which are being made into movies in the near future. World War Z stars Brad Pitt and Mireille Einos. Spike and Deadliest Warrior now ask the question of which of these mythical creatures would come out on top in a fight to the finish? It's definitely not a traditional Deadliest Warrior, with prior match-ups including Spartan vs. Ninja and other featured warriors including the Dracula inspiring Vlad the Impaler, Atilla the Hun and even modern day match-ups including the Ira, Somali Pirates and more.

Everyone knows full well that the most dangerous warrior of all is an overmaxed Bastet Warder, but despite our repeated, well-reasoned letters to Spike TV, the network appears intent on moving forward with another season of their show, Deadliest Warrior.
The new season sounds as exciting as ever, with match-ups that are the stuff dreams are made of...if you're anything like us and happen to dream about vampires fighting zombies. Here's what we learned out about the conflicts you've always wanted to see play out:
Vampires vs. Zombies, the new season's tenth episode, is a departure for the normally history and science-based series. In the past, they've run thousands of simulations to determine each conflict. New host, former Navy Seal Richard "Mack" Machowicz, spoke about pitting fictional characters and creatures against one another and how it's still in the same spirit of discussion and argument. Dr. Armand Dorian, the show's medical consultant,...

You can find the full schedule on comic-con.org [1], or after the jump I've listed the film and television highlights, which includes the Masters of the Web panel which I've been invited to be a panelist on (In full disclosure, I've been asked to be on this panel for a few years now, but I've only just recently gotten over my fear of speaking in front of large audiences). It should be a fun panel, and I hear they will be giving away some really cool prizes as well.

If past years are any indication, Comic-Con will begin releasing its official 2011 panel schedule later today (Wednesday) with the schedule for Preview Night, Wednesday, July 20. If that happens then we can expect them to follow suit for the rest of the days, so that Thursday will see the release of the Thursday of Con schedule, etc., through Sunday.
Once the official schedules are posted these “TV and Movie Panels and Screenings Updates” will be scaled back to just the date, time, title, and location, since the rest of the information and So Much More (including comics panels, autograph signings, etc.) will be available on the Comic-Con schedule link we’ll provide. Consider this, then, the last of the extremely long posts, and hopefully we’ll be getting that official schedule soon.
Hmm, here’s an interesting matchup: Glee will be in Hall H on Sunday at 10:00; Supernatural will be...
