Hijinks ensue!
Looks eeeeenteresting... by Ribbons	May 30th, 2007 02:34:07 AM
...this is gonna sounds goofy, but I almost feel like I'm cheering for Dom to do well after his character's arc on "Lost." Potentially interesting premise, so hopefully it'll be worth seeing.
'cause nothing says "fun premise" like grave-robbing by Zardoz	May 30th, 2007 02:57:45 AM
Good luck on the movie career, Dom! (seriously) We'll miss Charlie on Lost, but hopefully we'll see you in some flashbacks next season...
so Charlie died for THIS? by newc0253	May 30th, 2007 03:07:43 AM
just kidding, it looks fine.
said it before... by BadMrWonka	May 30th, 2007 04:35:58 AM
this sounds a LOT like "the body snatcher" from 1945 with Bela lugosi and Boris Karloff...very creepy film, very similar premise. worth checking out.
The Body Snatcher by evil mystical ninja	May 30th, 2007 05:42:48 AM
Sounds similar to that film but also to the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's inspiration for his short story of The Body Snatcher... Burke and Hare dug up and sold dead bodies, then started murdering and selling dead bodies... Then they got caught - 16th victim I think? One of them made a deal with the judge so they got off whilst the other was hung. Shame.
Some of us not seen Lost yet, you dick by Col. Tigh-Fighter	May 30th, 2007 06:14:24 AM
dick, dick, dickity dick-head
Wonder if the movie will be released in Smellovision by Yeti	May 30th, 2007 06:26:04 AM
Nothing like the smell of decaying flesh and BRAAAAAAAAAAAAINS to go with cheese covered tacos at the movies. Yumyumyumyumyumyumyum...
Who hasn't seen Lost finale yet, Col. Tigh? by Zardoz	May 30th, 2007 06:51:43 AM
Seriously, where are you? And if you hadn't been spoiled about the episode until now, how did you avoid finding out? Is your cave comfy? (I kid, I kid!) But honestly, I would avoid reading ANY of the talkbacks on this site if you really want to remain pure about Lost. (and what are you waiting for? Go and watch it on ABC.com right now! Go on, shoo!)
this looks great by WolfmanNards	May 30th, 2007 06:55:49 AM
it looks like a grave robbing comedy. thats awesome
Larry Fessenden... by Mosquito March	May 30th, 2007 07:43:01 AM
...makes horrible fucking movies. He's apparently not directing this one, but he's producing/starring, so his Nicholson-wannabe stink will be all over it.
who haven't seen Lost third season finale...? by Prometeo	May 30th, 2007 07:47:28 AM
Well... how about 95% of the planet? The fact that some of us (impatient as we are) living in other countries, have torrented the eps instead of waiting perhaps a year to see them doesn't make them... lets say... widely spread information. Now, I'm not saying 'keep quiet' a whole year... but at least don't divulge that info on a not directly related talkback, specially not in the subject line, for a prudent 3 to 6 months, perhaps?
This looks like fun. The Tall Man!!! by gotilk	May 30th, 2007 07:48:44 AM
Oh and Walt kills Locke right before Jack ends up 20 years in the past off the island.
so all those predictions and near misses by oisin5199	May 30th, 2007 10:39:03 AM
including the statement - "Charlie, you're going to die" half a season ago wasn't a dead giveaway?
Looks great! by ccchhhrrriiisssm	May 30th, 2007 11:43:09 AM
Dominic is a great actor -- and LOST's loss will be the big screen's gain! Good luck, Charlie, er, Dominic!
It's a remake...sorta (seriously!) by bgart13	May 30th, 2007 11:43:37 AM
Seems likely based on the true story of Burke & Hare, and how they sold bodies to Dr. Knox. In the 50's, there was a film called "The Flesh & The Fiends" starring Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasance, and Billie Whitelaw (directed by John Gilling, too!). A creepy little film. Even Donald Pleasance's character wore a tophat just like that fellow up above.
Easy on Col. Tigh, Zardoz... by Abin Sur	May 30th, 2007 12:55:25 PM
He doesn't know that Starbuck died yet either...
Looks like we know why Charlie died now by indyjonez100	May 30th, 2007 01:29:04 PM

Larry Fessenden by Bibo	May 30th, 2007 02:24:53 PM
I wrote a sketch and needed a mildly funny name for a Joe-everyguy type and came up with Larry Fessenden. I had never heard of the real dude. Then somebody linked me to his IMDB page. (He sure doesn't look like a Joe every-guy.) Now I tell people it's an homage.

You had a week you lazy ass. If you've got time to post here, you've got time to go to abc.com.
Not another period grave-robbing comedy/horror flick by BannedOnTheRun	May 30th, 2007 05:30:00 PM
At least there aren't CG penguins in it... or are there?

heh
G & S FX is doing the makeup by lghtanddrk	May 31st, 2007 12:25:01 AM
G & S FX are working on doing some of the special FX makeup. They did most of the zombies on Shadow: Dead Riot. I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of some test makeup pics for I Sell the Dead and I can say without a doubt that their stuff kicks ass.
I feel suitably chastised by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 1st, 2007 09:28:21 AM
I wuz saving them up. Got the last 5 eps to watch in a row. However you were right, Charlie was on death premonitions. It was bound to go wrong from there.
