Adrienne Barbeau Autobiography

Yes, you know you love her from The Fog and Creepshow, not to mention many non-zombie films! From Fango:

Adding to an already impressive 2006 booking of genre notables (see our previous news item here), Del Howison, proprietor of the Burbank, CA horror bookstore Dark Delicacies (4213 West Burbank Boulevard), has announced that actress Adrienne Barbeau will appear in person on Wednesday, May 10 to sign her autobiography THERE ARE WORSE THINGS I COULD DO: FROM BROADWAY TO B MOVIES…OR BUST.

The hardcover book (available March 12 from Carroll & Graf) covers Barbeau’s acting career, touching on her time on Broadway (in GREASE, from which the title is derived) as well as in Hollywood, as she offers up tales concerning her roles in horror faves like THE FOG, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, SWAMP THING and CREEPSHOW. Additional topics include her time spent as a go-go dancer prior to breaking into acting, her five-year marriage to director John Carpenter, her involvement with the defunct Showtime series CARNIVÀLE (for which she won a Best Actress in a Television Drama award from The Women’s Image Network), her past romance with Burt Reynolds (during the production of CANNONBALL RUN) and her marriage to a much younger man, writer Billy Van Zandt (and subsequently giving birth to twins at age 51). The actress, who will next appear on screen in director Daryl Goldberg’s supernatural film UNHOLY (alongside BUFFY alumnus Nicholas Brendon; see our most recent item here), will commence signing her 325-page memoir at 7 p.m.

I Am Legend Remake

This might really be considered "vampre news," but seeing as though the original film is on so many zombie film list, I figured this news was relevant. From Bloody-Disgusting:

Dark Horizons discovered that Warner Brothers is close to a deal to rent New York's Kingsbridge Armory as a studio set for a movie version of Richard Matheson's famous apocalyptic novel I Am Legend reports the New York Daily News. Warner is in the process of closing a deal to rent the entire 190,950-square-foot first floor interior of the armory for seven months from February 27th through September 30th. I Am Legend, which was originally set in Los Angeles, centers on the lone survivor of a plague that has transformed the world's population into blood-sucking vampires. It has undergone many development changes over the years with differing people ranging from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Will Smith involved.
