 Tommy Iommi confirmed today to Birmingham Mail that himself, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward have all reunited to give the original incarnation of Black Sabbath one more go. The reunion has been kept mum, but in the works for awhile — Iommi and Osbourne spent June writing material for a record to be released in 2012. Tour rehearsals are already in the works. The only concern that Iommi seemed to think foreseeable is the health of Bill Ward, who he admitted is not currently at 100%.
Whatever it was that possessed men in their 60s to get the idea into their head to say, “Hey! Let’s get the old band back together!” well, sweet christ, we’re glad it’s happening.
UPDATE, 8/16/11 at 17:45: Blabbermouth is now reporting a statement by Tommy Iommi where he says that there has been NO official confirmation; that essentially the Birmingham Mail journalist spoke out of turn. Read more at their site.

 What AMC does if you breathe a word of the firing... So I was looking at Shock Til You Drop, as I do every day and I saw this beauty! Way to go AMC! So let’s see, a show blows away the ratings right out of the gate, one of the best writer/directors in Hollywood, awesome cast, tax breaks, and god knows what else. Yeah let’s get rid him and treat everyone like shit. Someone needs to grow a set and tell AMC to screw…take the Walking Dead to Starz…go for the uncut gold!

 After what seems like forever, The Thing remake trailer has officially made its way to the internet. I think I’m on the fence about this simply because I love the Carpenter film so much; I just think there is no reason to see a group of Norwegians go through the same “Thing” as MacReady’s crew….but after seeing the trailer it seems as though Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. is keeping the faith right down to the Dean Cundey framing and lighting. I’m just hoping for this not to suck. If I can sit through it without getting mad I will give it my stamp of approval.
See the trailer after the jump! (more…)

 Boston filmmakers and writers of John Carpenter’s “The Ward,” Michael and Shawn Rasmussen, have released another batch of stills from their latest film, “Dark Feed.”
This indie film, shot on location in Massachusetts, is a we all go a little mad sometimes tale of a low-budget movie crew making a horror movie in an abandoned mental hospital. Unsurprisingly, it’s not long before things go very, very wrong.
The Rasmussens have released a new batch of production stills via Facebook and we’ve got the goods for you after the jump. (more…)

 Here’s a bit of news that stirs the kid in me! Disney and Johnny Depp are teaming up to redux The Night Stalker….yes The Night Stalker based on Dan Curtis’ 1972 cult classic starring Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak. I know Depp can do this role based on his portrayal of 50s schlock director Ed Wood in the movie of the same name!
For the whole story that has more stuff we don’t really care about in it go to DEADLINE
