Darren Lynn Bousman is a filmmaker who quickly became one of the most sought after directors in the film industry after his first three major films Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV opened at #1 at the box office three years in a row. He then went on make his passion proect, Repo! The Gentic Opera, which was a combination of Blade Runner and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Darren is also working on a monster movie entitled The Barrens, and a short-film series called, The Devil’s Carnival. 11-11-11 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD today, April 24th.
11-11-11 is supernatural horror film that focuses on Joseph Crown, a famed, best-selling author who is coping from the recent and tragic death of his wife, Sarah, and son, Cole, who died in a fire caused by an insane fan.

I recently had the chance to speak with Darren Bousman about 11-11-11. He discusses internet piracy, how an unfinished version of his movie was reviewed by mainstream sites and downloaded over a million times online before he was even finished making it, what extras we can expect on the DVD, how his new short-film series The Devil’s Carnival has become a road show/burlesque act, his upcoming monster movie The Barrens, as well as his upcoming numerically-themed horror flick Ninety, and his love for Harry Potter.

"It really just came down to me screaming and a lot of blood," laughs Linkin Park and Dead By Sunrise mainman Chester Bennington in regards to his role in the highly anticipated Saw 3D.

“I want to play a game…!”
One of the secrets behind the original Saw was the fact that there is very little gore. The story of a madman who gives people a choice to live (disfigured or minus body part) or to die a nasty death mostly relied on suspense the first time around.
When two men (Cary Elwes and Leigh Whannell) wake to find themselves chained up in a dank bathroom, they are face to face with a dead body lying between them. After a video tape begins to play the realize that they are currently in a kill or be killed situation.
Are you ready for the stench of death? Or the chilling screams that fill the darkest night? Well it’s finally here. The overwhelming sense of fear – or "what fear fear’s most" – came alive this past Friday night as Universal Studios Hollywood transformed itself into a nightmare to end all nightmares.

Lionsgate has just unveiled a new "motion poster" for its October release Saw 3D, which is the supposed final entry in its highly lucrative franchise. Naturally, if this one is highly lucrative too, I won't be surprised to find that it's not quite the last tale Jigsaw tells, but for now they're sticking with the "it all ends here" rap.
We all know about MGM's dire financial situation; it's been an on-going mess for what seems like years now. The company has been forced to postpone its two biggest properties, The Hobbit and James Bond, while putting itself up for sale in the hope that someone will just give them some money. Any money. Please, every nickel counts...
But that's not stopping them from reaching for The Outer Limits. The studio has evidently hired scribes Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (Saw 4-7) to write a screenplay based on the classic 60s sci-fi TV show, which was essentially an hour-long "Twilight Zone" but even geekier. (Lots of martians, parallel dimensions, and the like.)
