Fango got an update from 
Having made his directorial debut with last year’s UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS, FX/creature creator Patrick Tatopoulos (pictured) has since been attached to helm DreamWorks’ aliens-on-an-airplane actioner NON-STOP and the comics adaptation I, FRANKENSTEIN. Now he has boarded another genre feature, SUSPENSION.
He's played an Eddie (a.k.a Venom in SPIDER-MAN 3). Now, Topher Grace essays an Edwin in the upcoming PREDATORS.
Rumors abound that actor, director, teacher and legendary special FX wizard Tom Savini will be returning to the foam-latex-and-Karo-syrup fold to handle the gore gags for FRIDAY THE 13TH: PART 2, the planned Platinum Dunes-backed sequel to last year’s remake. The prospect is delicious—along with his work on George A. Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD, Savini’s groundbreaking gags in Sean S. Cunningham’s original FRIDAY almost singlehandedly sparked the American splatter craze of the 1980s, and the visionary craftsman hasn’t done any real hands-on genre film work since 2002’s middling serial-killer biopic TED BUNDY.
