“…A few months ago we brought you news on the Zombies Ate My Neighbors adaptation from up-and-coming director John Darko, and while that’s definitely still in development, Darko has been working on another interesting film in the meantime. He has been directing a unique new social horror project titled Killcam Livethat features an interactive website and more. A teaser trailer and website have launched, and we have even more official news on the “social horror” project. The film will follow group of college students as they willingly participate in an experiment to study the effects of communicating solely through social media.”

Okay now, this is a good idea. All of us have sat in front of a movie and just hung our heads at the direction it took. Either some of the characters were too dopey or the story dragged, but we’ve all wished for an opportunity to grab a movie halfway through viewing it and change the outcome. Well, gorehounds, Killcam Live is going to give you that chance this Halloween.

Old-School Video Gamers, Rejoice! Zombies Ate My Neighbors Movie In The Works!

http://perezhilton.com/tag/john_darko/#.UDGWQtBWoaU

Remember the good ol’ days of Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, andMortal Kombat II?

Of course you do, and for those of you slightly less mainstream gamers out there, you might also remember a Super Nintendo game calledZombies Ate My Neighbors.

Filmmaker Donnie John Darko remembers the game, and he’s currently seeking financing for a Zombies script, which he wrote based on the cult classic video game.

Word is the film will be done independently, and wheels seem to be moving along for the project pretty smoothly thus far.

Sounds like a fun, campy, zombieriffic nostalgia fest!

We’re game!

Horror-Comedy ‘Zombies Ate My Neighbors’ in Development, Based on the ’90s Video Game

http://www.slashfilm.com/horrorcomedy-zombies-ate-neighbors-development-based-90s-video-game/

Ready for another zombie movie? How about another zombie comedy? Well, ready or not, here another one comes: A screenplay based on the cult classic video game Zombies Ate My Neighbors has been written, and now the film is starting to come together. It’s being described as “John Hughes meets Judd Apatow meets George A. Romero”, which sounds like an ultimate pairing of things-everyone-loves, assuming it can be done right.

Life After ‘Saw’ Turns Out to Still Be Scary

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/20/movies/saw-franchise-creators-are-back-with-insidious.html

MOST of “Insidious,” the new film from James Wan and Leigh Whannell that opens April 1, takes place not in a dank, rust-stained industrial-size men’s room, but in a perfectly respectable middle-class house. There are no visible hacksaws, manacles or face masks wired with explosives intended to blow a jaw apart. No one is dismembered or disemboweled. In fact, there is no bloodshed of any sort.

You’d be forgiven for feeling like you’re drowning in a sea of potential action zom-coms at the moment, but anyone who owned a SNES in the 1990s may prick up their ears at the news that a film adaptation of Zombies Ate My Neighbours is in the early stages of development.

…John Darko has written the script and is co-producing. Darko has recently been shooting second unit and stills for James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s Insidious: an association that shouldn’t stop him from landing some useful connections for financing. No director or cast are attached yet, but it seems reasonable to assume that Darko is eyeing the gig behind the camera himself.

Lockdown: Red Moon Escape

http://www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-latest/-lockdown-red-moon-escape/5041746.article

While it is intriguing to see the worldwide domination of the zombie film reach Arab cinema, in truth the region needs no real assistance from Western-orientated horror genres. Genre films featuring Djin – Arab ghosts – have been made in the past, though there has yet been a locally originated feature film that really embraces horror.

“4 Cool Things You Didn’t Know About Facebook Home That Will Make You Actually Want To Use It” ACCORDING TO ME

1) Home will automatically update you when your GF/BF is scheming on the low via other secret FB profiles

2) the main camera is now located on the front screen for ultimate selfie enjoyment

3) the keypad has been replaced by exclusive never before seen emojiis

4) you get all the glorious feature of facebook and instagram for FREE and it’s available now on every other fucking phone in your pocket. Fuhh.

Here’s some truth… I started from the bottom and now I’m here. I’ve slept on sofas and sometimes wondered how I was going to make it through the week. Went hungry and experienced my own tragedies. Yet, that’s never stopped me from hard work and holding on to the possibility of greener pastures. Hope is an incredible thing once you’ve fully embraced it. But that was then, and I want to address the now. Life since has been nothing short of amazing. Everyday has been getting increasingly better and I tend to reflect my joy in social situations I.E. via parties, Instagram photos, status updates, tweets, etc. If the next person has the right to share a picture of his or her meal at Baja Fresh - or some sort of event worth sharing, then who am I to judge the importance or the intentions of the action? It is what it is. It’s not that serious. We all like to share. Look, I’m constantly changing everyday of my life… I’m learning the world is much bigger than I was brought up to imagine. Then one day I woke up and realized no matter what; I am doing exactly what I want to regardless of recourse or possible misfortune. Chasing dreams takes an extreme amount of risk and bravery. Life is too short to not enjoy it. Every second. So whomever can agree, I applaud thee and say right off the bat; that you deserve every bit of your success. Basically what I’m trying to say is; I’m not that kid anymore waving around a screenplay gasping for attention (which is fine) - I’m fucking happy and excited that the grass is actually greener on the other side. So excuse me if I seem a little douchey, take it for what it is and judge all you want. Because I’ll take that as a reflection of how you see yourself. I’m doing me, so worry about you. And to certain individuals out there; knock off the hating ass bullshit. It’s not a good look. I mean… is life supposed to be anything but spectacular? Hop on a plane, go to a place that scares you, swim to Hawaii, fly to Mars, whatever!!! Don’t have money to? Save. Work it out. Or don’t. Your choice. But above all, before you judge… Look in the mirror. To all my friends, I love you dearly. To those that diss directly or indirectly, you’ll never hear a reply for it. Best. JD.

Allow me to reintroduce myself… My name is John Darko and I make movies and produce a ton of other cool shit. I’m blessed beyond explanation.

And my life is getting increasingly better by the minute

I’m trying my best to convey this without sounding like a complete “hippie” or one of those overly optimistic cats whom sometimes warrant a reality check… But it’s true, everything can be illuminated. Just jump out of the dark for a second. 

ANYHOW: I’m working on a few things that contractually I cannot discuss (BOOO!) BUT I can give a little insight…

1) I will be back behind the camera (Directing) in a few months. http://insearchofadam.com  <—- THAT IS ALL, for now.

2) I jumped back into the music biz, and it has been crazy fun to have been apart of the assembly of “probably the greatest thing to happen to rock music this year!” Last year I had the pleasure of directing a music video for the band “On Being Human” and now we are working together on a new record, and a hybrid concept film which still remains to be a secret. In due time.

For now, here’s that video… Watch it, love it. 

3) I have a twitter http://twitter.com/johndarko go follow me and RT all of the dumb sh*t I say. And please tell the powers that be over at TWITTER HQ to give me my “verified status”. K thanks.

4) I will be posting here more often, a new layout is coming, YES I HAVE GONE CORPORATE. So, check back within the next few weeks or so. It’s a pretty massive change. I promise. 

I guess that takes care of the present & future.

So enjoy the past… See ya next time!
