The Turkish Batman has landed at TarsTarkas.NET! Full review with THREE video clips!
SciFi Channel upcomings
Fred Olen Ray is directing an upcoming SciFi Channel original film called Dire Wolf (it looks like it will keep the title but it might change), which is a werewolf movie that will have lots of gore.
Another one is Rise of the Gargoyle:
Eric Balfour (“24”) stars as Jack Richmond, a struggling author whose outlandish theories on pagan architecture make him the laughingstock of the academic world. But when Jack finds himself face to face in a demolished church with a live version of the stone gargoyles he’s devoted his life to studying, no one believes his story.

$quid
Imagine Anaconda directed by the Coen Brothers; a ‘creature feature’ driven by character rather than action. Then imagine a giant squid attacking a singles cruise on the out skirts of the Brisbane River. That is the inspiration for the feature film, $quid.
“Their debut feature film is in a class of it’s own. About a giant squid that terrorises a New Year’s Eve cruise on the Brisbane River, the film $quid, which is the brainchild of Brisbane Boys Daley Pearson & Luke Tierney even has it’s own genre.
“We’re calling it a Romster Comedy.”
“That’s a genre we invented which is a romantic, monster, comedy.”
Pearson & Tierney wrote and will direct, produce and edit the new film, which is being shot on location at the Brisbane River.
It will star Aussie actors Ed Kavalee [Thank God You’re Here, Boytown], Josh Lawson [Thank God You’re Here, Sea Patrol], Christian Clark [Neighbours], Henry Nixon [Noise, The Pacific], Brooke Sheehan and Lauren Lillie.
The feature film is based on the award-winning short film of the same name.
Thanks to Avery again!
SACRIFICE [Bob’s Giant Monster Movie]
“SACRIFICE”[a.k.a.; “Bob’s Giant Monster Movie”] : Link Have you ever wanted to make your own giant monster movie?? Who hasn’t right?? Just stop and think for a second how totally awesome that would be Yeah I know…gets you a little choked up and brings tears to your eyes huh?? How cool would it be to be able to brag and tell your friends, family, co-workers, boSses, arch-nemesises, school mates, enemies, and eventually grandchildren that you had some small role in the making of a great kaiju film?? Well, I’m here to tell ya that yes it could happen:This is your opportunity to do just that. To be a part in the making of something potentially great. Bob[zilla] Nelson stands here humbly before us asking for our help in making his very ambitious new giant monster film; “Sacrifice”. A film that he’s making especially for us the truest and most obsessive of kaiju fanatics. He doesn’t want to just make just another cheesy/crappy, horrid, straight-to-dvd wreck of a movie, no, he wants to make us the very best looking and most exciting giant monster epic possible!! However he needs our help. I know…you’re thinking ‘oh great this nutcase wants us to donate a bunch of money to make his movie and we get nothing in return’. Not this time friends. Nope. He’s got something great to offer up;
“Starting on September 22nd, we’ll be making the first two chapters of the movie available- one will be a free download, one will be $1.25. It’s important to note- this is how we are raising the money to fund the movie, so we are asking for the support of the Kaiju/sci-fi/fantasy community to- at the very least, give these first couple chapters a spin. If it’s a good story to you, we certainly like it, then hang with us and you can pick up each chapter as it comes out.Also, we have scheduled an internet chat session with the “Gang”; myself, Kent, Michael and Brent, so that people can talk about the chapters, and ask about where we are at in the project. That is scheduled for September 30 at 7:30pm Pacific Time. More details will be available after we do some major updates to the Brick Cave Media site this weekend, but i think we look forward to sharing our excitement with you and starting the next stage of the project. ” OK you guys LOVE a good kaiju fiction right?? You’ll really LOVE this one!! If you can’t afford to toss up $ 20.00 right away no one’s saying you have to. It’s just $ 1.25 a week!! That’s dirt cheap!! What in the %&*& can you buy these days for that?? How about downloading the first ‘free’ chapter and giving it a read and see if you’d like to stick around with the rest of us and help make a monster movie?? They’re already lining up helicopters, humvees, military equipment…Yeah, you don’t want to be left out!! Now, I’m not saying; give us your money. I’m just asking you to check it out and see for yourself if you’d like to be a part of it all.[NOTE]: I should probably point out that this film is meant as a legitimate release and NOT a ‘fan film’. It’s creator’s are planning on releasing it through a regional theatrical release with some targeted theaters then following that run releasing the DVD through an official distributor. They even hope to be able to present it at next year’s “Comic Con”. THANKS!!: More details: Undead Backbrain
Sounds like an interesting way to raise some cash, and with the free download intro so you can see what you are getting in case you are wary about throwing around your money.

Turkish Batman! Turkish Pop Cinema is one of the treasures of the modern world. There are so many gems just waiting to be discovered, and so many lost pearls that you never know what you will run into. Turkish Star Wars? Turkish Star Trek? Turkish Ninjas? Turkish Wizard of Oz? Turkish Super Heroes? These are only some examples of the radical output of bizarre and amazing films from the 1960s to the early 1980s that came out of Turkey. At times, you hear rumor of films, but are unable to establish their existence. This Turkish Batman film, Bedmen Yarasa Adam was known to still survive, but actually getting a copy was a different matter. Batman also appeared in the Turkish film Fantoma Istanbul’da Bulusalim, mentioned in Pete Tombs’s Mondo Macabro but seemingly existing nowhere on the planet. There is also a Turkish Batgirl film called Ucan Kiz, of which I have only seen the poster for. Maybe one day they will show up. This deterioration of Turkish film history is a terrible tragedy.
Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods!

Did you know that Batman drives around Turkey as a hired detective, investigating the murder of girls, and nailing every chick in the Ottoman Empire? Because that’s the real Batman. Turkish films are big on masculinity, the men are all manly men, there are big manly mustaches, the women are all supermodel hot and melt like butter on an oven when they get a load of these manly Turkish studs.
