In the play, an elderly man and woman play repeated games of gin in their retirement home, as they slowly come to grips with what is left of their lives, in their old age, Jones and Tyson last shared a...

Update: Theater journalist/critic shared the following on Twitter moments ago, correcting the New York Post story that said Hudson has signed up to play Celie. As Mandell's tweet states, Hudson will actually be playing Shug, which, quite frankly, makes more sense to me. Here's Mandell's tweet: Yes, @Iamjhud will make her Bway debut in #TheColorPurple revival, publicists confirm, but 1. as Shug not Celie. 2. date Tba — Jonathan Mandell (@NewYorkTheater) January 9, 2015 And here's the original story published earlier this morning: According to a New York Post report this morning, Jennifer Hudson will make her Broadway debut this Fall, as Celie in a revival of "The Color...

We see a lot of great indie horror work here at Dread Central. But every once in awhile we get a look at something that stands out, something that looks like it's got a chance to rise above and be the next micro-budget film to set the world on fire. Judging by its trailer, Delirium might be it.

We are beginning to become accustomed to the fact that, from time to time, horror films made on tiny budgets are going to go crazy at the box office.
