If once upon a time I knew that the director of the first Paranormal Activity movie was making a television program called The River that'd be starring Thomas Krestchmann and Joe Anderson, then my brains have completely abandoned me because I have forgotten it, and to forget such a thing is to commit the darkest of sins. I just randomly clicked on this report about the show at ComiCon from BD and noticed those two in the pictures and was all, WHA??? What pictures, you ask? These pictures!
So what is The River?
ABC's official synopsis: "Famed explorer Dr. Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood) went looking for magic deep in the uncharted Amazon and never returned. The shocking truth about his disappearance is out there, somewhere, just waiting to be discovered. To the millions of kids who grew up watching his nature show, Dr. Cole was a hero. To his own son, Lincoln (Joe Anderson), he was more of an enigma. Now, six months after he vanished, Lincoln is finally ready to bury the past when Dr. Cole's emergency beacon suddenly goes off. At the urging of his mother, Tess (Leslie Hope), Lincoln reluctantly joins her on a search for his father. To fund the rescue, they agree to let Dr. Cole's cagey ex-producer, Clark (Paul Blackthorne), film the mission documentary-style. The mixed crew of old friends and new acquaintances includes the sexy and resourceful Lena (Eloise Mumford), loyal mechanic Emilio (Daniel Zacapa) and lethal bodyguard Captain Kurt Brynildson (Thomas Kretschmann). "

And I just did some research and I totally posted about this show's existence before. That's it! Close up shop! My brain's done for.

This extensive batch of new pictures from Dario Argento's Dracula 3D includes our first look at Thomas Kretschmann fanged out:
There's gore and Rutger Hauer and more to be seen if you click over. The gallery also unfortunately underlines my doubts about Argento's ability to make pretty pictures anymore, even with Thomas Kretschmann, because everything looks over-lit and cheap. Perhaps these are just super-early glimpses and things will look different with the finalized product, but then I wonder why we're even seeing them yet. I mean, Thomas' eyes are half-closed in a shot they released! WTF?

While so far they've been stuffed with the sort of praise that horror director Dario Argento's done his damndest for years now to squash deserving, it's still been worth reading the first couple of STYD's dispatches from the set of his Dracula 3D film for little tid-bits like this. When asked what the look of the film will be, Thomas Kretschmann, who you'll remember is starring at the titular bloodsucker himself, had this choice phrase on hand:
"Splatter Visconti!"
I don't care that the previously alluded to squashing of Argento's goodwill makes me doubt this Visconti allusion deeply (once upon a time an Argento movie could at least be considered pretty even while it made no sense; his recent movies have just been ugly. Giallo still haunts me) - I just love that phrase. Splatter Visconti! Splatter Visconti! Splatter Visconti! The staccato cineaste alliteration of it. And I love it especially coming from the tender lips of Tommy boy. It's a keeper.

--- Make It A Full Moon For Luna - Diego Luna, who I love and probably even prefer to his Y Tu Mama co-star Gael Garcia Bernal if we're being honest, is in talks to join Neil Blomkamp's sci-fi follow-up to District 9, called Elysium and starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster and District star Sharlto Copley, and which... well hasn't that thing been filming for ages already? They're so damn secretive about it. Anyway yay Diego! Love him.--- World's End - AICN got a little bit from Simon Pegg on where his and Nick Frost's third film with Edgar Wright stands right now. They are working on the story, and they want it to be interesting, basically!
--- Breathless Mahoney - Has anybody seen Dick Tracy lately? I was the perfect age of 12 when it came out in 1990 and I remember obsessing over it for that Summer but I don't think I've seen it since. I've been meaning to rewatch it for ages now but have no idea what that'll feel like. Anyway Warren Beatty's mentioned making a sequel. Timely, Warren!
--- Always Ari - PopWrap's got the trailer for a new movie with Ari "Balls Deep" Graynor called Lucky, in which she stars opposite Colin "Why does he keep getting jobs oh right, his father" Hanks. Let's make it the year of Ari! This movie's out next month.--- The Thin Blue Broad - A friend of mine saw a screening of Errol Morris' new film Tabloid last year and apparently the woman who's the film's subject was there - she's that crazy woman who abducted a Mormon guy and cloned her dog, all sorts of bonkers shit - and she had a freak out, and it was awesome. The trailer for it's out now; the film's out in July.
--- Fairey Glare - Y'all have surely already seen this but there's artist Shepard Fairey's poster for John Carpenter's film They Live that he created for a special screening of the film down in Austin, where they vanquish movie-texters with glee. (via)--- Space Stage - A couple of pictures of the sets and sound-stages for Ridley Scott's Prometheus have made their way online which you can look at over at io9. Green screen and a cave. Thrilling. Just get me pictures of Michael Fassbender's underwear drawer already!
--- And finally, here's video of Dario Argento talking about his intentions for his now-filming Dracula 3D with Thomas Kretschmann and his daughter Asia. After just suffering through the ineptitude of his most recent film Giallo I'm even more skeptical than ever. (via)

Guldernit, I says! It really is going to be impossible for me to do anything but hype myself up impossibly over Dario Argento's Dracula 3D now that it stars his daughter Asia as Lucy and THOMAS KRETSCHMANN AS THE BIG DRAC. Sigh. Asia tweeted this pic of her and her swanky Aryan co-star from the set today, and it's an insta-erection for the eyes. Do by them right, Dario!

It was only a couple of weeks ago that we saw the first early "art-work" for Dario Argento's yet-to-be-filmed Dracula 3D movie, and it was cheap and abysmal looking and I admitted that I've gotten so weary of Argento's cheap and abysmal output as of late that I didn't think I could stomach another dreary go of it.
Silly me! I spoke too soon! Because today's news casts no doubt upon there being any in Hell that I'll be missing this movie. I feel a little bit less than good about it still, but it can't be helped. No fighting against this tide. Via Screen Daily:"Thomas Kretschmann has signed on to play the lead in Dario Argento’s Dracula 3D, Italy’s first live action stereoscopic 3D, which gets underway May 30 in northern Italy.The Valkyrie and The Pianist actor will star alongside Asia Argento, Marta Gastini and Rutger Hauer, who plays doctor Van Helsing."
As the pictures attached to this post attest, Kretschmann acted in a movie for Dario Argento once before (and opposite his daughter Asia as well), called The Stendhal Syndrome. I posted more pictures from it way back when I watched it, but that's not gonna stop me from posting some more today. Not when that's what we're talking about.
I mean, my god, have you ever seen anything prettier? Point being, point Argento. I'll see your damned Dracula movie now. You'd better make good use of your 3D. I want the full Kretschmann poking my eyes out, dammit.
