The only thing better than a guilty pleasure cult-action flick is its inevitable sequel!

Danny Trejo was bad-arse in Machete, and we can't wait to see him in Machete Kills!

But that might not happen if the people suing rolling-up-their-sleeves-in-preparation-for-a-lube-less-anal-fisting-of director Robert Rodriguez get their way!

Overnight Productions filed a motion in court to kill the film's pre-release and cut ties with Robert all together!

They also want $2 mil in damages!

And apparently this is all over some tax document snafu!

We aren't sure how worthwhile their case is, but this bums us out because we were really looking forward to the flick!

Between the seXXXay Jessica Alba, the spicy Michelle Rodriguez, the buxomly Amber Heard, and Charlie Sheen as the Perezident…

How could anyone deprive the world of this film?!

The deadites are coming…but not until 2013!

Last we heard about the Evil Dead remake, Sony Pictures had made a distribution deal for the FilmDistrict/Ghost House Pictures flick.

Now, we're hearing that the film has officially been given a release date of April 12, 2013!

We've also learned some new story details! In this version of the cult classic horror flick, a group of friends travel to a remote cabin where they find the Book of the Dead. After the book is read, the group must "fight to survive when a demonic force is unleashed."

Get ready for more deadites!

Back in July, we heard that Sam Raimi was planning a remake of his 1981 horror cult classic The Evil Dead!

We were kind of excited about it, especially because we'd heard that Sam was talking about making the movie for a low budget, just like he did for the original!

Now, we're hearing that Sony Pictures has made a deal to distribute the flick, which is being put together by FilmDistrict and Ghost House Pictures.

Here's what producer Rob Tapert had to say about the project in a statement:

It's a bummer that they didn't host the reunion on the coast where the movie actually took place, but at least it sounds like it was an AWESOME event!

Check out the video (above) of highlights from the Big Lebowski cast reunion event in NYC, which was thrown in an effort to promote the new blu-ray release of the cult classic.

El Duderino and the rest of the cast are lookin' good! It's great to see them all together, 13 YEARS after the movie came out! CRAZY!

Are U a Big Lebowski fan? Who's your favorite character from the movie?

HOLY SHIZ! This NEEDS to happen!

It's pretty much common knowledge that the 2001 cult classic, Wet Hot American Summer, is pretty much the best movie in existence, and we're thrilled to reveal that co-writer and director, David Wain, is planning a PREQUEL film with all the same actors - which includes Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, Paul Rudd, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper and Elizabeth Banks - even though they're all ten years older!

Wain explains:

No! This NEEDS to happen!

Back in 2009, there were rumblings of a proposed sequel to the '80s cult classic Heathers coming to fruition, with original stars Winona Ryder and Christian Slater both on board to reprise their roles as the rebellious Veronica and J.D., as well as original writer Dan Waters and director Michael Lehmann!

However, when recently asked about film's current state of development, Ryder revealed that plans have stalled!

She explains:

"There was an idea, and I was sort of like on their back about like, 'We've gotta do it because, you know, Heathers exist outside of high school.' And there was this whole idea that Dan [Waters], you know, came up with with some little additions from me. At one point, I really wanted it to happen and was trying to get everyone riled up. But last I heard, who knows? I'm like, 'We should do this.' But everyone's doing their things right now. It's nice when people bring that up because I'm so proud of that movie, and I love when people come up and ask if there's going to be a sequel. It means it's still in their consciousness."

Um. HELL YES, it's still in our consciousness, bb!

Nothing has even COME CLOSE to comparing to the greatness - and bite - of that movie (No offense, Mean Girls)!

We seriously hope that they don't let this idea slip through the cracks!

C'mon guys, get everyone back on board! We bet Shannen would be down, too!

What do U think?? Would U like to see a sequel to Heathers?
