‘Young Frankenstein’ Will be the Next ABC Live Musical

Despite lackluster reviews for its last outing for a live musical production–The Little Mermaid Live was almost universally panned upon airing–ABC is not giving up on the live musical trend, and their next pick, according to Entertainment Weekly, is Young Frankenstein!
Based on the classic Mel Brooks/Gene Wilder movie from 1974, Young Frankenstein opened on Broadway in November of 2007 with a book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Brooks.
The musical was mounted following the success of Brooks’ The Producers which garnered more Tony nominations and wins than any show in history at the time.
The musical opened to mixed reviews and was later revised when it was taken to London where the show received more positive reviews at that time.
Roger Bart (The Producers) appeared as Frederic Frankenstein in that original production alongside Megan Mullaly (Will & Grace) as Elizabeth, Sutton Foster (Younger) as lab assistant Inga, Shuler Hensley (Van Helsing) as the Creature, Andrea Martin (Black Christmas) as Frau Blucher, and Christopher Fitzgerald (Revolutionary Road) as Igor.
Young Frankenstein is based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel as well as the 1931 classic film adaptation and its sequel Son of Frankenstein. It is arguably Brooks’s most successful and well-known film, and a favorite among genre fans.
There is no word yet on an air date for this live television production–it would be perfect for a Halloween airing–nor is there word yet on casting for Young Frankenstein Live. Mel Brooks will serve as the producer on the show.
Stay tuned to iHorror for more news on the production as it becomes available.

Watch ‘Conjuring’ Star Vera Farmiga Nail Slipknot’s Demon Voice in ‘Duality’ Cover

Vera Farmiga, who has starred in three Conjuring movies, has a good idea of how a demon should sound. Recently, she sang Slipknot’s Duality at a Rock Academy show in Kingston, New York. She impressively matched Corey Taylor growl for growl.

Prior to singing Duality, Farmiga told the audience, “I’ll tell you one thing: This music program is one thing we can’t get enough of. We really do have the time of our lives.”
Watch the cover below – she starts singing a little after the 1 minute mark.
During the performance of Duality, Renn Hawkey (her husband) played the keyboards. Later in the show, the couple switched roles, with Farmiga playing the keyboards as Hawkey sang The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen.
Farmiga posted videos of both the Slipknot and Echo & The Bunnymen covers on her Instagram page. She also praised the Rock Academy, saying, “Best. Music. School. On. The. Planet. Enroll your kids now. And why let them have all the fun?! Enroll yourselves! Come learn. Come grow. Come play. Come have so much fun.”

Ghostface Stars in Scream VI’s ‘Still Alive’ Music Video

Scream VI is right around the corner and in the latest music video Demi Lovato takes on Ghostface. It isn’t what we were expecting to see from the soundtrack but Still Alive is still a nice addition the Scream VI soundtrack.
It does make me miss the old Scream soundtracks. The soundtracks for Scream 2 and Scream 3 were really great and full of alternative rock picks. Nowadays, soundtracks are sadly devoid of those kinds of picks.
The film stars Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Courteney Cox, Dermot Mulroney, Samara Weaving, Tony Revolori, Jack Champion, Liana Liberato, Devyn Nekoda, Josh Segarra, and Henry Czerny.
The synopsis for Scream VI goes like this:
Four survivors of the original Ghostface killings attempt to leave Woodsboro behind for a fresh start.

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Shares First Image of Lady Gaga With Joaquin Phoenix

The first image of the sequel to Joker shares a first look at its two stars. Both Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix are featured in the first lovely image from Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux.
The term Folie à Deux means shared “shared delusional disorder”. We are sure that this will be something thoroughly explored in the sequel between these two.
The synopsis for Joker went like this:
Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks — the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he’s part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.
Are you excited to see Lady Gaga playing the role of Harley Quinn? Let us know in the comments section.
