There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

The Evangelical MAGAs I know are now trying to cancel Halloween, because they see this and think it’s Devil worship.

I’d like to share with you the new Disney / Star Wars trailer, but they capitulated to fascists.

Go fascist, go cashless.

Bring back Jimmy Kimmel.

I survived a real life SAW trap: moderating a panel of SIX filmmakers who made all TEN Saw movies in just one hour!

Thanks to Josh Stolberg for letting the writer of what Twitter Haters would call “a Saw knock off” — SOUL MATES — hang with the big boys at HorrorCon LA! @joshstolberg.bsky.social

Robert Redford wasn’t just great at being a movie star, he was The Natural.
