From the webmaster:

I'm just wanting to let everyone know that I am not affiliated with Amicus Productions. I'm not a relative of Subotsky or Rosenberg. I am just a guy who believes that these films have their historical place in cinema history and should not be forgotten. Why do I say it's the ONLY Amicus website? I say that because it is the only website that is 100% dedicated to the legacy of Amicus Productions and it's creators. Of course it's not an official website, because the original company has been defunct now for over 30 years. It has just recently been revived as Amicus Entertainment.

Tobe Hooper talks about Buick 8 movie on Eyegore red carpet

I really hate doing the "paraphrasing" movie news site thing, so I'll just let the article speak for itself. This was posted by Mr. Disgusting on the great Bloody Disgusting site:

This evening marked the 6th Annual Eyegore Awards, along with the opening of Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, which will be ongoing through November 1st in Hollywood, CA. Also on the red carpet, we had the pleasure of talking with horror legend Tobe Hooper, who chatted a bit about his forthcoming Stephen King adaptation, From a Buick 8. What's for dessert you ask? How about a little cameo by Bill Moseley, reuniting the duo of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2! Read on for the skinny!

Right off the bat director Tobe Hooper (the original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE) updated us on his next project, FROM A BUICK 8, which is the latest Stephen King adaptation, which is being penned by John Schaech and Richard Chizmar.

“Just a few days ago I got the screenplay... it’s great" he tells SpookyDan on the red carpet. "We start casting relatively soon. It’s really cool.”

Hooper also revealed that the film is going to be pretty gory, giving away a pretty sweet gag that hopefully we'll someday see on the big screen.

“It’s got a little bit more visual [elements]…. there is a a vacuuming scene where someone blows smoke into something he aught not. The hair is going forward, the skin's loosening, eyeballs are coming [out]…. It’s gory, really."

“[There's] a mix of CG and practical," he explains. "A little CG to touch up the flaws and then the practical. I love practical.”

So there you go with some news directly from the director of the upcoming Amicus production From A Buick 8. The article goes on about Hooper and Moseley's work together on Chainsaw Massacre 2 and other things, so if you're interested in reading the whole article, then click here.
