If you want to know where movie producers are going next for ideas…well, Children’s books.. NOW are the new horror stories…as we’re awaiting the release of “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey”. Well, some of us are anyway…But there’s even MORE to look forward to after that. The people behind that one are also working on “Bambi: The Reckoning”. You pretty much know where this one’s going: Bambi’s mother is killed, and he becomes a “vicious killing machine that lurks in the wilderness.” Three Blind Mice”, “Rise of the Loch Ness”, “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Jurassic Theme Park”, and, perhaps most importantly . . . “Spiders on a Plane”.
(If Samuel L. Jackson doesn’t star in this one, WE RIOT.)
