PREACHER 2

You're not cracking up -- despite the fact that there's no first film in theatres or at home, director Sam Mendes told MTV's Splash Page that he believes there's more movies behind that one thanks to screenwriter John August.  "He's about halfway through," Mendes said. "There's a long way to go yet, but I'm very, very hopeful. I think it could be amazing.  You have to try and get one really good and then, if you're lucky, you can make a second or a third.  You can create something that's going to run. But I think that there's certainly more than enough for one good movie and plenty left over."  

No release date announced.

DEAD OF NIGHT

The production blog has been updated with producer Dan Forcey discussing the shooting.  Forcey said, "I was lucky enough to see a few of the dailies (rushed developed shots that are shipped to a lab and shipped back for the director to see) the other day and I have to say, hopefully without being too self serving, that the way [cinematographer] Geoff [Hall] is shooting this, it’s creating an amazingly beautiful movie, and hopefully one that will do justice to the amazingly beautiful source material."

Starring Brandon Routh, release date: 2010.

WAKE THE DEAD
