Just in time for the holidays, writer/directors Adam Green (HATCHET 1 & 2, FROZEN, SPIRAL) and Joe Lynch (WRONG TURN 2, the upcoming KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM) are coming to the Alamo Ritz in Austin, Texas on Monday, November 28th to carve up and serve you an unhealthy amount of movie cuts with all the artery-clogging trimmings. A VERY GREEN & LYNCH CHRISTMAS will feature various fun short films from the  horror anthology,  CHILLERAMA, trailers that have never seen the light of day, promos from their upcoming TV show HOLLISTON, a new teaser and exclusive clip from the upcoming KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM, and will close with a 90-minute slasher that will have you laughing in ways that may rival TROLL 2.  Throughout the night, the two filmmakers will be having a very candid and open discussion with the audience about their work, tribulations, and the state of the genre so bring your questions.  To make things even more awesome, the boys will be giving away a whole bunch of posters, DVDs, Blu-rays, and soundtracks. Nobody leaves empty-handed (or sober)!

Most importantly is that ALL proceeds from the evening will go to help fund Austin’s local American Legion Hall’s quest to build an elevator for disabled veterans- so if you have a few extra dollars to bring and give to help the cause, we urge you to do so. Tickets will go on sale very soon through the Alamo Drafthouse’s official website so check often and frequently.  This event will likely sell out before the actual night, so if you live in the area, if you like to laugh, and if you want to show your appreciation to those who have served, sacrificed, and fallen in the name of freedom… please drop whatever else you’re doing and take this night to join us.  As always, bring anything you want to be signed, bring your cameras, and bring your questions.  Most of all, check your inhibitions at the door and come ready to get rowdy and laugh.  This night is all about laughs and getting a one of a kind chance to truly hang out with a theater full of fans and like-minded cinefiles.  Even if you’re one of the many bloggers or critics in the Austin area community, we encourage you to leave the work and opinions at home for the night and just come and enjoy yourself.  This is going to be one for the books and Green, Lynch, and the entire Drafthouse family is looking forward to it more than you can imagine.  We all truly hope to not only see you there, but to HEAR you party with us and show your appreciation for our beloved veterans who are the real heroes of the night.

MGM is in talks to acquire Killer Pizza, an Adam Green-scripted adaptation of the Greg Taylor book about a 14-year old boy who lands a summer job at a pizza joint that is actually a front for a monster hunting enterprise. Rafaella De Laurentiis (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, DRAGONHEART) is producing with 1492 Pictures and CJ Entertainment. 1492 Entertainment’s Chris Columbus (HARRY POTTER, THE GOONIES, GREMLINS, THE HELP) brought it to MGM after meeting with the brass there and sensing the studio’s appetite for Gremlins and Goonies-type fare, and Killer Pizza fit that bill. After a long period of being frozen, MGM has become an active buyer, recently partnering with Sony on the Antoine Fuqua-directed Eminem-starrer SOUTHPAW after DreamWorks let that project go. The company also acquired Where’s Waldo, which had been developed as an animated film property by Illumination Entertainment. APA and Industry rep the writer and CAA repped the book.

Filmmaker Adam Green will be hosting the “Team Unicorn Super Happy Fun Panel” this Saturday at the Los Angeles Comikaze Expo.  The panel will feature the girls of Team Unicorn (Rileah Vanderbilt, Clare Grant, Milynn Sarley, Michelle Boyd) as well as Derek Mears (Friday the 13th 2009, Holliston), Sean Becker (The Guild, Holliston), Alex Pardee (urban artist, Digging Up The Marrow), and Bonnie Burton (Star Wars.com).  The entire group will be signing for one hour immediately following the panel at 12 noon, so bring whatever you’ve got and (as always) Adam will sign for free.  Team Unicorn will also have shirts, posters, buttons, and more merchandise for sale at the event.  Not familiar with Team Unicorn yet?  Behold their awesomeness at www.teamunicornftw.com.
