Exclusive: Tommy Wirkola From Dead Snow’s Top 5 Horror Movies
Tommy Wirkola is a new name for the horror genre but his audacious, hilarious and blood-splattered Norwegian Nazi zombie movie Dead Snow, shows that this is one director who has done his homework. If the film isn’t making you laugh, cutting something in half or having intestine pulled out of one of the characters, then its winking at the audience with some reference to some of the best-loved horror masterpieces. Tommy Wirkola has exclusively talked to us about his top five horror movies of all time, and as a list of definitive titles to watch, it's hard to argue with. Enjoy...

Nobody Wants To Pay For Spielberg’s Tintin Flick
We didn't moan when the credit crunch meant that our house got repossessed or that we had to give up food, but we never thought Tintin would be taken from us. Sadly, it looks like it has. Despite being masterminded by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson - the directors of some of the best loved and wildly overlong films about robot children and big monkeys ever made - it's been reported that the proposed 3D animated Tintin movie has been passed over by Universal for being too expensive. We genuinely didn't see this coming - we knew the global economy was fragile at the moment, but so fragile that the world will be deprived of a movie based on the racially dubious adventures a marginally popular ginger Belgian journalist made using prohibitively costly pioneering technology? We're in worse trouble than we thought.

The Hobbit Gets All Weird And Mexican And Stuff
The Hobbit will definitely be coming to cinemas, and it'll probably have more creepy scrawny Mexican eye-hand monsters than you remembered.
That's because Guillermo Del Toro - director of Pan's Labyrinth and Blade II - is reportedly in talks to take on both proposed Hobbit movies when they eventually get written and made.
And Guillermo Del Toro has certainly won over the fans, too - not because of his creative vision or anything like that, mind you, but because he looks exactly like Peter Jackson in a Bo Selecta mask.
The Hobbit: Peter Jackson & New Line No Longer Be Trippin’
No doubt this is the angle New Line intends to play with the new Hobbit movies that are finally moving forward. 'Surprise! The ring's not really destroyed, its just been resting next to a planet sized colon.' Real juvenile New Line! We'll not reward such nonsense with our money! Or our Mom's money! Sure, it's free from the government, but it's because she's disabled! Grow up New Line Cinema!
In more surprising news, Peter Jackson is definitely going to be attached to the film. He and New Line settled their disagreement allowing things to progress. He's not going to direct though. He's going to play King Kong who now conveniently has to destroy the ring the rest of the way. Seriously, it says so on page 12 in the book 'The Real Tolkien volume III,' which we wrote.
Which we intend to write. Maybe next week. We intend to write a Tolkien book maybe next week.
Lava doesn't boil - it makes way for Earth farts. Granted, it may sometimes look as if its boiling, but that's just visual trickery provided by, as we already said, Earth farts. Air bubbles and what not.
