Nothing Concrete But Could Brad & Bale Be Back?

Perhaps our disappointment at Brad Anderson’s latest effort VANASHING ON 7TH STREET can again be traced back to that vintage Sitges year of 2004, where three directors promised so much and yet only one (The Wookie) has delivered any kind of follow up to date.

That year we were mightily impressed by Anderson’s THE MACHINIST, however, in going over our 2004 notes we can see that it was more the combination of Brad and Bale that left us wanting more. Good news then with this piece over at Jo Blow where the word is that the dynamic duo could soon be reunited on the J.G.Ballard inspired CONCRETE ISLAND.

A Horrible Way To Die (Starring Jim Bowen’s Son)

Cinematic horticulturists that we are we like to follow our Sitges seeds as they grow. Sometimes they eventually wither and die, while other times they seem to magically burst forth into life, a bit like Nic Cage’s hair. Either way, once they’re planted during the festival we like to see how they blossom come spring.

While cyber-stalking A.J Bowen we stumbled over this piece at Twitch where Michael Guillen gets to talk with the cast and creators of one of our Sitges 2010 favourites, A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE.

And yes, he IS still Jim Bowen’s son.
