It often doesn't take long for real-life controversies and tragedies to make their way to the big screen (last year's "Zero Dark Thirty" and "The Impossible," just to name some recent examples) -- but they don't usually come in as strange of a package as this.

"Wild Things," the provocative 1998 thriller starring Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon and Bill Murray, could receive a sequel, but with a major twist: It'll be inspired largely by the Amanda Knox murder trial.

To be specific, it's not a sequel per se, according to director John McNaughton, who told Hollywood.com that, if made, the new movie will center on the original characters' children.

"Do you know the Amanda Knox case? It's something like that," McNaughton reportedly said. "Something that's like the child of Suzie Toller [Campbell's character], she claimed that Matt Dillon's [character] had raped her a long time ago and maybe...

John McNaughton, who directed the 1998 film "Wild Things," starring Matt Dillon, Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, Kevin Bacon and Bill Murray, hasn't worked for over a decade. But now, the helmer has revealed that he's planning to get behind the camera again for a new sequel to "Wild Things." In an interview with Hollywood.com, McNaughton said that he and Stephen Peters, who wrote the original film, as well as the direct-to-dvd sequels "Wild Things 2" and "Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough," have already worked out the story, which will focus on the children of the original characters. "It's not one of the sequels, but about their children," he said. "Do you know the Amanda Knox case? It's something like that. Something that's like the child of Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell), she claimed that Matt Dillon's [character] had raped her a long time ago. Maybe there is a child and...

If you take a few moments to brainstorm the shittiest ideas for film sequels that could also turn out to be amazing, you might instinctively come up with a few humorous answers, like Who Else Framed Roger Rabbit? or The Great Dictator 2: Even Greater. But no one in their right mind would ever stumble upon saying .a Wild Things sequel.. But that just means you're not director John McNaughton, whose right-mindedness is up in the air. McNaughton told Hollywood.com that another Wild Things film is in the works, and that he.s working on it with screenwriter Stephen Peters, who wrote the original film as well as Wild Things 2 and Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough. But forget about everything you.ve seen after the first one, because they want the new sequel to tell the story of the original movie's characters' children. Let this quote sink...

Through a reputable online shopping website, I managed to pick up the Halloween Collection for a ridiculously low price. Having only seen the first two all the way through, I wanted to view all of them as I do love a good bit of seasonal horror.

I had my corn popped, my fridge stalked full of caffeinated products and was ready to begin the horror marathon to end all horror marathons. I started with the original John Carpenter classic and went straight through them all, concluding with the absolutely diabolical and somewhat embarrassing Halloween Resurrection. The boxset didn’t include the recent Rob Zombie remake and it’s sequel, which is good because they don’t exist.

All I want from a Halloween film is Michael Myers to wear the infamous white mask and that iconic theme to play. Two simple things that even Rob Zombie couldn’t get right.

William Forsythe shoud be in more movies, I'm just saying! Thanks to Anchor Bay we'll get to see Forsythe go up against something lurking in the deep in this cool water monster flick called The Rig. Fitting isn't it, the disaster in the Gulf and now these kind of movies will start popping up. Anyway, check out the PR and the artwork below and leave us a comment!

Back in 1985 the film Clue, featuring a dynamo of a comedy cast with Tim Curry at its head, made a mockery of the murder mystery genre, and it did so expertly. 25 years later we’re still getting many films every year where the writer and director attempt to pull a fast one on the audience by throwing red herrings left and right. Some films have excellent hooks that you just never see coming, while others are as predictable as the Disney sequel that just reverses the plot points of the original.

Now, put Clue out of your mind and think back to the 1998 mystery thriller Wild Things, featuring Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Matt Dillon, and Bill Murray. Was it a masterpiece? No, but it had a nice little mystery wrapped up in a soft-core porn package. It was trashy, shallow, and relied heavily on its cast to carry it through its theatrical run.

Your sleep has been off lately, hasn't it? You can't quite place your finger on it, but you haven't been getting your full eight and what few hours you do get are plagued by tossing and turning that leaves you feeling like you've barely slept at all. Admit it, you've been rattled by the thought that Wild Things 4 would be the next victim of the Die Hard 4 curse and end up going the PG-13 route.

What, you didn't know there was a Wild Things 4? Well you do now and the good news is it just received an R rating. What's the bad news? Wild Things 4 exists and it's rated R for "some sexuality/nudity, language and violence." I mean, come 'on. "Some sexuality/nudity'? John McNaughton's original erotic thriller starring Denise Richards, Neve Campbell and Matt Dillion was given a "strong" classification for the same things 12 years ago!

I had the chance to read the script for a new webseries coming to you by the Ronalds Brothers and starring Judd Nelson, and it was pretty impressive. Now I get to offer up a first look trailer, and knowing what I do about the series, I'm very hopeful for this one. Take a look at some info from the press release, and then check out the trailer. Shot entirely on the new still camera (Canon 5D Mark II), Here & Now is a whimsical web series with a comedic flare. The series stars Judd Nelson who plays a guy that looks like Judd Nelson, and even though he isn’t, on occasion, he uses “Judd’s” identity to woo the ladies. Playing opposite Nelson is Kevin Berman who plays David, a barbershop owner stuck in a rut and looking for a second lease on life. This is a sweet but...

It's a story set in the Pacific Northwest, about a young man and the woman he loves. The boy must protect the girl from evil forces, and the title indicates that there might be something supernatural going on. No, it's not Twilight-- and I promise I was only partly trying to cash in on Twilight fever with that teaser. It's Something Wicked, a movie that sounds like some horror-supernatural hybrid and will be directed by Jay Lowi, who has made pretty much nothing at this point. Ok, he made the 2001 thriller Thriller, starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Wild Things 3, and as far as I know, no one saw either of them. Either way, his next movie starts shooting in Oregon in January, and if he manages to cash it on the Twilight phenomenon, he'll probably be all the better for it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chambers Productions is gearing up to shoot the psychological chiller Something Wicked. Jay Lowi (pictured) will direct from a script by Joe Colleran, who also produces.

The movie is about a young man trying to protect his girlfriend from a mysterious predator that has killed her parents. Wicked is set to begin filming this coming January in Oregon; Lowi’s previous movies include the thrillers Tangled and Wild Things: Diamonds In The Rough.
