If the title ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD wasn't cool enough, now they have a fascinating composer!

Published at:  Feb 21, 2008 1:44:49 AM CST

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So, the Karate Kid, Miho and... um... Jeremy Sisto. And a kid by the name of Jake Hoffman (yes, his daddy was a Graduate)... anyway, they're in a low budget vampire comedy called ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD. Okay, this project is automatically cool.

Son of Dustin's movie will be scored by Son of John. Sean Lennon will score the flick.

Hoffman plays a struggling actor who gets cast in an off-Broadway production of HAMLET... run by an undead Romanian (played by John Ventimiglia).

And Ralph Macchio plays a mob boss who fights vampires. That's really all I need to know. I'll watch this movie. What about you?

    ...was the last movie to have such a cool title. Hopefully this film will be different than SOAP in the sense that it has more than its title going for it.

    who fights vampires. That is pretty silly. Just saying it makes me chuckle. Try it out loud. See if you can do it without at least smiling. Then go try it on someone else!

    Sean Lennon's music...

    by indiebum

    Is really impressive, and a step away from his father's. Just take a listen to the track "Photosynthesis" on his "Into the Sun" album and you'll understand why he's getting into film scoring. His newer album "Friendly Fire" is excellent and has a lot of cinematically fitting tunes.

    Ha, I actually read the script for this

    by freakemovie

    during an internship of writing coverage one semester. I'm pretty sure my official stance was that it starts out fun, but then gets way too caught up inside the mechanics of its own plot and boring backstory and ends up being a drag. Oh, and something about everybody becoming a vampire was thrown in at the end.

    Wack On! Wack Off!

    by scottindc

    How does crap like this keep getting green-lighted? Sounds like a campy remake of Innocent Blood (which was already somewhat bad despite Anne Parillaud's best efforts). The Karate Kid as a mob boss? Is he going to 'wack off' all his enemies? Horrid premise. A must skip and probably destined for a direct to DVD graveyard. You'll find it in 2 years wedged between Gidget Goes Galveston and Gigli.

    i won't see it based on that alone.

    another great film is going to get crapped on because folks will be confused.

    look at what happened to Twister

    a good film. Let alone a great one. This, on the other hand, reeks of Troma. Which is a good thing.
