Torture Cinema Poll #8: Pick Our 2nd 2012 Movie
I don’t think it’s necessary to remind you how much we hate you all for not picking Jumper. But I guess there’s not much we can do about that. You people seem to love it when we watch the truly awful and offensive… So here’s the next poll: Notice the new addition. If you pick that one, Jen will use every source at her disposal to find out where you live and ruin your garden…

I say that knowing it’s only been a few days since the last episode went live. But we’re catching up on some unfinished business, so you’ll have to give us a break. Episode 82 is our much anticipated Torture Cinema feature, in which we review-while-intoxicated the wonderfully terrible “romance” flick known to lesser beings as Twilight (we like to call it “1,000 Ways to Destroy Female Self-Esteem”).

Flick Bits: Boneshaker by Cherie Priest Optioned for Film!
According to Deadline, Cherie Priest‘s 2009 steampunk novel Boneshaker (released through Tor) has been optioned for a film by Cross Creek and Hammer Films: Los Angeles, CA – November 30, 2011 – Brian Oliver, President of Cross Creek Pictures, Simon Oakes, Vice-Chairman of Exclusive Media Group and President & CEO of Hammer Films and Guy East and Nigel Sinclair, Co-Chairmen of Exclusive Media Group (“Exclusive”) announced today that Hammer has acquired the rights to the novel “Boneshaker” by Cherie Priest for adaptation to the big screen. Project will be co-produced by Hammer and Cross Creek Pictures and co-financed by Exclusive and Cross Creek Pictures. John Hilary Shepherd, a 2010 WGA Award nominee for his work on the first season of the Showtime series, “Nurse Jackie,” is writing the screenplay. Tobin Armbrust, Head of Production is overseeing the project’s development for Hammer Films. Cross Creek recently released The Ides of March, written and directed by and starring George Clooney. It is also the company behind Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman. Exclusive Media Group, another key player here, brought us the 2010 American remake of Let the Right One In (retitled Let Me In), and had a hand in many of Cross Creek’s projects. Overall, that sounds like a pretty awesome crew to have behind Priest’s novel. What do you all think? Congrats to Ms. Priest! Let’s hope for a wicked awesome steampunk film in our near future!
