DON'T MISS Michael Jackson's Baby Mama! Is Michael Jackson Sick? Michael Jackson Converts to Islam, Changes Name? In 1983, when Michael Jackson was actually ascending and not the other way around, he agreed to split half of the profits from his now-legendary "Thriller" music video with director John Landis . Given that it sold over 9 million copies, the deal landed them both a sweet wad of cash, although it was then the most expensive music video ever made. Landis claims that Jackson has not...Read Full Story
There are some horror directors out there who ignore fans, some that mistake fans affections for stalking (Eli Roth why have you still not returned my phone calls?), and some who never seem to forget that fans should always be thanked. John Landis in my opinion is in the last category and I'll tell you why.
One lonely afternoon at my job, I wrote (well fine I typed ) a letter to John Landis. I had decided enough was enough--where the fuck had he gone? Why was he not making any horror movies...Read Full Story

John Landis believes ‘Inception’ is “not original”.
The ‘Burke & Hare’ filmmaker believes the Christopher Nolan-directed project – which was widely loved by critics on its release earlier this year – is “almost the same” as 1984 movie ‘Dreamscape’ with Dennis Quaid and he doesn’t think Nolan has many new ideas.
He said: “Interestingly enough ‘Inception’, which is wonderful, is not original. There have been a lot of movies like it; remember Dreamscape? Oh that’s bad special effects but...Read Full Story

I don’t know if you caught this over at io9, but Max Landis’ drunken, half-crazed retelling of the saga of “The Death and Return of Superman” was the funniest thing I saw last weekend.
Landis, whose father is director John Landis, sits in a chair while drinking whiskey and retelling the saga of DC comics’ early ’90s murder-and-eventual-revival of Superman. He al ...
Did the 1992 “Death of Superman” storyline from DC Comics send you into a fit of fanboy fury? Max Landis, son of director John Landis and writer of the film Chronicle, was pretty ticked by it. His 15-minute rant-slash-reenactment is required viewing for all true comic book fans. Landis himself directs and retells the story of Superman‘s death and return, while a bunch of his friends act out the story he’s telling. Among the many, many guest...
