ZOMBIE BLOODBATH 3 finishes-

Extreme Entertainment is finished with the editing on the film, and the behind the scenes segments, as well as other special features, are finiished as well.  Distribution of the film is almost sealed for all markets and should be available very soon.  After a few delays, this sought after and eagerly-awaited film will finally be available in the deluxe editions everyone has asked for.  Many great bands have been signed for the soundtrack (including BLOOD STORM and IMPALED) and negotiations are ongoing to cram the film full of music from Necropolis Records, who may also be putting out the soundtrack. Trailers for ZB3 are going out on 100,000 DVDs from Troma films this month and there is gonna be a Zombie Bloodbath comic series.

SAY IT AGAIN wraps production

The newest project from director Todd Sheets is the comedy "Say It Again"  Described by the Extreme team as a cross between Kevin Smith and John Hughes, the film is a major departure for Todd, who also scripted.  Fans of Todd's gore filled Horror flicks need not worry.  "It's an experiment and we wanted to do something totally different just to show people we have the talent in the company to do something like this." Todd said.  "We want the people who claim all we can do is throw blood around to be forced to eat their own words... this will surprise a lot of people."  The "daily footage" is incredible, with a huge growth in the acting and production design, as well as some very impressive composition and structure.  It is a major step forward for the company in many ways, and will begin editing the first week of November, with a March release planned.

OTHER EXTREME NEWS:

Lords Of Chaos is currently in pre-production for a February/March start date (weather depending).  The film, based on the book about the Norwegian Black Metal scene, with music and appearances by many stars of that scene.  It is a brutal film, uncompromising and full of some very horrible things.  "A full-on return to true horror" as Todd calls it.  Another recent film has been added called "Dreaming Purple Neon" to be directed by Todd and produced by Ari Bavel from a script that is being collaborated on by both of them.  Other films in the planning stages are:  Catacombs 2: In The Beginning, Violent New Breed 2, Wolfsbane and Zombie Wranglers, a comedy about making a low budget undead epic.

Monumental Pictures to become a part of the Extreme Team.  Blake Fitzpatrick, young director, has merged with Extreme Entertainment.  Blake will be directing a producing a line of ultra-low budget gore-filled shot on video features for distribution in various world markets for Extreme.  Among his films planned is "Flesh Eating Freaks."

Brian Eklund Project on hold: Due to unforseen complications, Brian's directing debut is on hold, with a start date now uncertain for his Vampire Epic. Also, perhaps directly related to this situation is Brian's recent decision to withdraw as Executive Producer of Extreme Entertainment.  Brian and Todd are best of friends and like brothers, and he will more than likely still be a part of the Extreme Team in one form or another in the future, just not in that particular capacity.  More on this situation as it develops.  As of now, we at Extreme all offer Brian our support and love and wish him the best and a complete recovery.

Blake Washer has been scripting the sequel to "Violent New Breed" over the Fall and Winter for a Fall 2000 production, also planned for 2000, Antwoine Steele's long awaited project 30 Kilos , The Paul Van Dan Elzen written Horror fantasy The Red Key and Brian Eklund's debut as a director, an untitled Vampire movie combining Norse mythology with bloodsuckers with tons of digital effects.

The Shivers is gaining cult status since it's release a year ago and you can order it from EI Cinema - just go to the SHIVERS PAGE on this very website for ordering information. The film was trimmed by about 17 minutes for the final cut, but the footage may be re-instated at a later date for DVD or Laserdisc release. Fear not, only a very few seconds of gore was trimmed. Most of what hit the cutting room floor was concerning a small sub-plot and some dialog here and there.... EI have been very supportive of the film and fan reaction has been incredible, with word of mouth fueling the fire that this film keeps creating.



Be sure to check out our updated LINKS PAGES... many of them are doing special stories and pages for not only "The Shivers," but Todd and Brian as well!!!


And finally:
Todd has joined a black metal band called DESCENSION.  The band are currently playing around the Kansas City and Missouri area and are planning on recording a CD before doing a mini-tour in December.  Plan on extreme horror-influenced music when you catch these guys!
