Jim Carrey, Horror Movie 'Aleister Arcane'

[grinchy steve]

This would be perfect for a Halloween 2019 release. Jack Black is competing against himself this year with 'Goosebumps 2' and 'The House with a Clock in it's Wall'. Both look like they could be happening in the same universe.

And 'House with a Clock' is directed by Eli Roth, you know, the man who is (was?) supposed to direct 'Aleister Arcane'. The trailer surprised me, I think there's a chance he could pull this off visually, which I never expected. Of course 'Aleister' should be aiming at a bit older audience to begin with, if true to the source material, R-rated even, but still. This could actually work.

I was watching a music video
To the song
"I've got my mind set on u"
With George Harrison
I tried to accompany with in on
Drums
But the video is so
AA mode but hilarious
I loved it

Man, I really hope this is still happening ...

Amblin is sort of in a soft-reboot stage. Because they are doing the Arachnophobia remake, have you been in discussions with them about any other projects coming down the line, especially ones that call back to what we were talking about with this void in classic PG films?

Eli Roth:
This actually happened because I was going to — and I’m still supposed to — direct an adaptation of a graphic novel called Aleister Arcane with Jim Carrey, which is an even crazier Gremlins-, Beetlejuice-type movie. And the writer has been working on the script and it’s just the timing of it didn’t work out with the script, and then The House With a Clock in Its Walls came in and I was almost pre-approved at Amblin to do this type of movie.

There's hope. I think that's great news.

Nice update. I hope it will get made eventually. Keep hope alive !

[grinchy steve]

I'm really hoping for this one too. I'm already in love with the project.

Have anyone seen Gremlin a s Beetlejuice movies ? Seems this movie comes close to these type of movies

[grinchy steve]

Although I do understand where Roth is coming from, I don't think Gremlins and Beetlejuice are right as comparisons. Unless they make it a lot more friendly for younger viewers. I would say Arcane is a lot more lugubrious and creepy when it comes to the visual horror, in that way it's nothing like those two movies. My guess is they will tone it down.

Now that Sonic is done filming, I truly hope this is next! "House with a Clock in it's Walls" did well, that should greenlight this for Eli Roth. A late September / early October release would be perfect. Fingers crossed.

No updates on his next yet.. . Guess he is enjoying his new role as a political artist.

For some reason
Im not too keen on this movie
A little too gorry for me
Tired of the zombie like stuff
Thats been out there
If I had to choose between
Ace and Aleister
Id go for Ace with Preserve/Enviro theme

[Canadian Jayne]

Maybe Aleister would have
A Black Christmas Tree
I just can't imagine a
Black one - it just doesn't
Seem right;(

i think cinema is saturated with cheap gore at the moment.......whatever Jim does it needs to mess with folks heads if he's going down the horror road......
