Rob Zombie has released stills from House Of 1000 Corpses' lost ending, but will the 2003 horror movie's deleted footage ever be recovered? House Of 1000 Corpses marked Zombie's directorial debut, but the film had a tortured path to the big screen. Originally produced as a Universal production, the studio declined to release it after fearing it would only be granted an Nc-17 rating. Zombie then took it to MGM, but after a glib remark to the press that the studio had "no morals" for agreeing to distribute House Of 1000 Corpses, they dropped it. Three years after it was shot, Lionsgate released the film.

In order to make it R-rated, Zombie trimmed a lot of footage from House Of 1000 Corpses, including the creation of Rainn Wilson's "Fishboy" and deleting Jeanne Carmen's Miss Bunny character. He also reshot the ending, which featured Chris Hardwick's Jerry being eaten by Dr.

Glurg garrgle gurgle raaaaw!  It's the razor-clawed reptile-man that scared the bejesus out of little kids, way back when. Jack Kevan's basic monster mash drags its feet a bit, but technically it's as slick as they come. Plus, the encoding is perfect. And did I mention the scary parts? This one inspired plenty of gory nightmares.

Moviemaker Brett Ratner is set to reteam with Rush Hour star Chris Tucker to take the story of Frank Sinatra's valet to the big screen.

Ratner will direct and produce the film adaptation of George Jacobs' memoir Mr. S: My Life With Frank Sinatra, according to Internet reports.

Tucker is slated to play Jacobs, who revealed details about Sinatra's romances with Marilyn Monroe and pin-up Jeanne Carmen in his expose.

According to the valet, who became a Sinatra confidante during the crooner's Rat Pack years, the late singer was so grateful for his valet's services he set him up with an apartment in the same secret Hollywood building his boss used as a safehouse for himself and his girlfriends.
