J.S. Cardone, the man who scripted THE CONVENANT, WICKED LITTLE THINGS and the upcoming PROM NIGHT remake, has also written the screenplay for another Screen Gems remake, according to the IMDB. The website reports that Cardone was tapped to write the screenplay for THE STEPFATHER, which was based on a true story. In the original Terry O’Quinn plays a seemingly normal man, who wants the perfect family. When they don’t measure up, he eliminates them and moves on to find his next perfect family.

News is coming from the Weinstein camp that GRINDHOUSE will not be split into two movies and re-released.

JoBlo reports that the “word I got from inside the Weinstein Co. last night was that the plan to split GRINDHOUSE in two and re-release was very likely kiboshed. So that could be it for the GRINDHOUSE experiment folks, the website reports.”

Its a real shame that the GRINDHOUSE experience was seen by more people. After this theatrical crash-n-burn it is highly unlikely we’ll see another dose of double-feature entertainment.
