One of the projects that I think most of us have given up … Continue reading
There are few places as secretive and deceptive as the accounting offices of Hollywood studios. Just ask Art Buchwald, who won a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, claiming that they stole the idea for Coming to America from him.

First Bloody Disgusting reported that CH director Ruggero Deodato was making a cameo appearance in Eli Roth’s Hostel: Part 2.
