Star Wars creator George Lucas recently got his Jedi robes in a bunch while talking to the New York Times about the possibility of producing more Star Wars films. Wounded by the negative criticism from both press and fans over the disappointing prequels and his ongoing tinkering with the original trilogy, Lucas huffed-and-puffed like a Sith lord on a respirator.

He tells the NY Times:

Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?

On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I’m saying: ‘Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.’

Lucas, I can feel your anger. It makes you stronger. Join me and together we will re-release all six Star Wars films in 3-D conversion, with blantant disregard to Han Solo-shot-first purists and even more CGI changes ::cough::cough:: … sorry, I always cough when impersonating the Emperor’s voice.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3-D opens Feb. 10.

AnnaLynne McCord (“90210”) stars opposite Antonio Sabato Jr. (“My Antonio”) and James Brolin (“Hotel”) in Bad Actor Island Bad Girl Island, a Caribbean-set supernatural thriller about a mysterious seductress who just may be a voodoo witch … or something.

Peep it:

The film’s synopsis reads:

When the enchanting Simone (McCord) mysteriously appears on the tropical island of Eleuthera, no man can resist her deadly charm.

After seducing wealthy film producer Michael Pace (Sabato, Jr.) in his dreams, she comes back to haunt him in real life when his best friend is found murdered and the only evidence is a video of his friend making love to Simone and of course Michael’s dream.

Surprisingly, Simone shows up at a casting session with Pace and famous director Terry Bamba (Brolin), and soon they are all entwined in a deadly game of deception, seduction, and revenge.

Bad Girl Island arrives on DVD and VOD on Jan. 24 from Freestyle Digital Media.

McCord, best known for her role as privileged brat Naomi Clark on The CW’s “90210,” can also be seen in Millennium’s 2008 home-video original Day of the Dead, a remake of George Romero’s 1985 film, and the 20th Century Fox frightener The Haunting of Molly Hartley.

Hungarian actress Andrea Osvart is ready to make an impact on American audiences. In addition to starring in the pilot episode of Cinemax’s small-screen adaptation of Luc Besson’s “The Transporter,” the beautiful 32-year-old former fashion model has been tapped by producer Eli Roth to star in Aftershock, a disaster flick set during the aftermath of the 2010 Chilean quake.

Plot details are scarce, but Osvart will play one of the earthquake survivors trying to stay safe and keep looters from running away with her TV and potted plants (just guessing that last part). Chilean director Nicolás López (Que Pena Tu Vida) will helm the project from a script by Guillermo Amoedo (The Crack).

Production on Aftershock starts shaking this spring.

Screen Gems has released the first teaser trailer for Resident Evil: Retribution. The clip hints at eye-popping action, the return of officer Rain Ocampo (Michelle Rodriguez) and some seriously sexy girl-power in the shapely form of resident ass-kicker Milla Jovovich (Alice), Sienna Guillory (Jill Valentine) and Chinese stunner Li Bingbing (Ada Wong).

Resident Evil: Retribution is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and serves as the fifth installment in the globally successful video game based franchise. Costars include Oded Fehr as Carlos Oliviera, Colin Salmon as James ‘One’ Shade, Boris Kodjoe as Luther West, Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker, Kevin Durand as Barry Burton, and Johann Urb as Leon S. Kennedy.

Screenwriter Trent Haaga has posted online the completed script for Deadgirl 2, a sequel to his and directors Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel’s controversial indie-frightener about a group of misfit teen boys who discover a beautiful naked female zombie chained in an abandoned insane asylum.

What follows is a morality play that splits childhood buddies Rickie and J.T., the latter of which believes he’s just won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes of free poon. Plans for a Deadgirl sequel were talked about last year, but, sadly, it appears the project has been abandoned.

Haaga writes on his blog:

I always saw the original DEADGIRL as a condemnation of misogyny as opposed to being misogynous – the boys were the monsters, not the “monster” of the title. But a lot of people didn’t see it that way.

My idea for the sequel was to try and tell a story from the point of view of a female outcast and what would happen if she found the DEADGIRL this time … instead of using the DEADGIRL for the impetus of her sexual fantasies, what if she used the DEADGIRL for her revenge fantasies instead?

What I ended up writing could maybe be described as “Precious meets The Pit with a zombie attack dog. Maybe this movie would have sucked. Maybe people would have loved it. Who knows? It wouldn’t have hurt to at least try, but alas it wasn’t to be.

So as a special treat to my fans and blog readers and the fans of the first DEADGIRL, I’ve decided to let everyone who’s interested take a look at the un-produced screenplay.

Deadgirl is one of my all-time favorite horror movies. It’s beyond fucked up, but gripping and thought-provoking. The kind of film that can find your most repressed sinister inklings and immediately make you feel guilty enough to donate time and money to the local women’s shelter.

Liv Tyler has signed on to star in director Ti West’s (House of the Devil) new sci-fi, psychological nightmare The Side Effect. Tyler will play the role of Catherine Rigby, a woman who inexplicably becomes pregnant while living alone in space for months as a test subject for a global pharmaceutical company.

She tells Deadline:

[Ti West] is a super-talented exciting young filmmaker. The role of Rigby is a fantastic character within a great thriller and I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into the part.

The Side Effect marks Tyler’s return to horror since starring in the truly frightening home-invasion slasher The Strangers in 2008. Additional genre creds include the Michael Bay disaster-thriller Armageddon,  Uni and Marvel’s 2008 redo of The Incredible Hulk, James Gunn’s superhero comedy Super and, of course, Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The Side Effect, which will most likely be retitled as Hollywood big shot Steven Soderbergh is shooting a film with the same name, will be shopped at this year’s European Film Market.

Alexa Vega is the latest to join director Darren Bousman’s new 45-minute musical horror show The Devil’s Carnival. The duo previously worked together on Bousman’s Mother’s Day remake and his beloved sci-fi musical Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Starring alongside Vega are Briana Evigan (Sorority Row), Taryn Manning (Manson Girls), Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects), Sean Patrick Flannery (Saw 3-D), Paul Sorvino (Repo! The Genetic Opera), Skinny Puppy vocalist Nivek Ogre and musician/performance artist Emilie Autumn.

Vega is best known for her starring role as daughter Carmen Cortez in Robert Rodriguez’s crazy successful family adventure franchise Spy Kids, a role the now 23-year-old starlet has been playing since age 13.

Former “Mad Men” starlet Abigail Spencer is set to star in geek-messiah Joss Whedon’s (The Avengers) modestly budgeted sci-fi romance In Your Eyes. Spencer will play a woman whose life is supernaturally intertwined with that of a man she would normally never befriend.

She tells Vulture:

It’s my first time [doing a project with Whedon], but I’ve always wanted to work with him. I’m so excited to do it. It’s the most romantic film in the history of time. It’s a supernatural romance.

Spencer, who is coming off last year’s Uni tent-pole Cowboys & Aliens, will next be seen as a mother who believes her child may be possessed in The Lionsgate sequel The Haunting in Georgia and as an assistant to young magician Oz in Sam Raimi’s Oz, the Great and Powerful.

In Your Eyes is directed by Brin Hill (Ball Don’t Lie) from a script by Whedon, who produces with Kai Cole through their recently launched Bellwether Pictures studio.

A trailer for You Got Served director Chris Stokes new horror show The Helpers is raising the roof, yo. The film stars German-born stunner Kristen Quintrall as one of seven Las Vegas-bound friends captured and tortured by crazed orphans hell-bent on vengeance.

Quintrall, best known for her work on Syfy and The Asylum projects, toplines a cast that includes Christopher Jones (Somebody Help Me), Black Thomas (Step Up 2: The Streets), Korean babe Denyce Lawton (“House of Payne”), and former “Man Show” juggy dancer Rachel Sterling.

Peep it:

The first season of the Canadian supernatural series “Lost Girl” is set to premiere tonight on Syfy. The show, which is currently heading into its third season, will introduce American audiences to Bo (Anna Silk), a beautiful woman who discovers she’s a succubus after inadvertently fucking her mates to death.

To remedy the situation, Bo opens a detective agency with BFF Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and together they solve supernatural cases while investigating Bo’s origins. Things get complicated, however, when Bo develops romantic relationships with detective/werewolf Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried) and sexy scientist Lauren (Zoie Palmer).
