Wes Craven will present footage from his upcoming 25/8, and director David Goyer will unveil details on The Unborn.

Highlights: Not applicable. Oh, okay…there was some stuff about insects chewing on a girl from Cloverfield’s boobs. Full transcript after the jump!

2:26 - Well, that’s it actually. Nothing exactly groundbreaking, and literally…. Deepak Chopra is coming into the room next. How bizarre.

2:23 - Everyone is talking about how cool it was to work with Gary Oldman. “He’s brilliant” says Odette.

2:19 - Q&A time

Q: “What were your main influences when writing this script?”

A: “I saw a story on 20/20 about twins who had died in utero…. so that’s what started it and I started researching twins, and one thing led to another.”

“We shot this movie for about one tenth of the budget of Dark Knight.”

2:16 - Deep Roy, who played all the Oompa Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, played the kid a lot in the movie, and they did digital face replacement on him.
2:15 - I don’t know if it’s Sunday, or the mood in the room, or the fact that they aren’t really saying anything exciting, but everyone is very, very quiet in this room.

2:13 - Now they’re talking about using potato bugs all throughout the film. Odette gets covered in the bugs in one scene, and they literally were chewing on her “between her boobs” according to Goyer. “She was writhing and screaming but we were saying ‘Keep acting! Keep acting!’”

2:10 - Odette said this was “more structured than Cloverfield. I mean, I had a script for this, I didn’t for Cloverfield.”

2:09 - They shot the mental hospital scenes in an actual abandoned mental hospital, which according to Goyer had “about two feet of raccoon feces throughout.” Now that’s horror. Odette is convinced that the place was haunted, and told us they captured “a face or… something” on camera. Why aren’t the guys from Ghost Hunters checking this stuff out?

2:07 - Cam Gigandet from Twilight is in the film, and he sure seems a lot calmer today than he did on Thursday. He’s actually giving us some coherent, cohesive answers.

2:05 - Goyer, “We have effects in the film, but the mantra was that everything has to be photo-real.”

You know, dogs with masks and people with their heads on backwards… that kind of photo-real.

2:04 - The footage combines elements of demonic films like The Exorcist and The Omen and ghost stories like The Grudge and The Ring. In fact, if I see one more person crawling along the floor all creepy-like, I’m boycotting Halloween.

2:02 - It’s about a young woman, played by Odette Yustman, who starts having strange visions and later finds out she had a male twin who died in utero. Turns out her brother is still trying to get into this world, and wants to cross over through her. And of course “hijinx ensue,” according to Goyer.

1:59 - They just showed us some “world exclusive footage” from The Unborn, and they’re bringing David Goyer and the cast out now. Horror ain’t my thang, but hey… this has Gary Oldman in it, who I’ll watch in just about anything.

1:56 - Next up is David Goyer, who co-wrote Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had a huge hand in the Blade trilogy.

1:55 - Last question for Craven: “Will there be any social commentary in this movie?”

Craven: “Well… no. I suppose you could say part of the inspiration for this could be ‘the sins of the father are passed on to the son,’ but that’s not really true. I mean, my own father died when I was four, so most of my life was spent trying to figure out who he was. This was a very personal film for me… not that my father was a mass murderer.”

1:54 - Not being a hardcore Craven fan, it’s really hard to stay nailed to what he’s talking about. However, I just realized that if Craven ever decided to stop making movies, he could have a very lucrative career as a DJ for a “cool jazz” station.

1:53 The Last House remake wrapped about a month ago, and 25/8 wrapped about three weeks ago. So both films are in post right now, and Craven is jumping back an forth on both of them in the editing process.

1:50 - Last House on the Left is being remade, like the Hills remakes, and it was shot out of the country. What? So much for keeping it here.

1:47 - Craven is talking, in his cool, mellifluous voice, about working on some of his earlier films, about shooting in Canada, and preferring to keep his movies “in the country,” meaning the US. People cheer patriotically.

1:46 - Rotten asked “Hey, do you all like PG-13 horror?”

“BOOOOO!” claimed the audience.

But Craven wasn’t playing the same game.

1:45 - Craven, thankfully, doesn’t feel like “torture porn” is very engaging. Although I don’t think that was what host Ryan Rotten wanted to hear.

1:43 - He’s talking about each of the cast members and giving a brief bio for each. The cast includes Max Thieriot, Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps, Emily Meade Nick Lashaway, John Magaro, Paulina Olszynski, and Raul Esparza. “I think you’ll just love ‘em. I made Johnny Depp’s first film and Elisabeth Shue’s first film and Bruce Willis’ first film in Hollywood, so I really hope you enjoy them.”

1:40 - Craven said “the idea was basically to have a killer who didn’t know he was a killer… when the main personality finds out about the killer, that personality demands that he keep it quiet, or he’ll kill his family.”

1:38 - They rolled a clip, and it looks like typical Craven horror fare: fog, teens, crazed killers, over the top action, and gore.

1:37 - The plot of the film is a bit confusing. Apparently there’s a man who has multiple personalities: five are benign, but one is unknown to him, and that personality has been out killing people. When he dies, the “souls” of those seven people (the guy, his five other personalities, and the serial killer persona) enter seven children being born the same day. So, fifteen years later, the “killer” returns to kill those seven kids.

Confused yet? So are we.
1:32 - Rogue Pictures is splitting their panel in half, and first up is Wes Craven’s new film 25/8. According to Craven the title “comes from the saying ‘The devil works 24/7 to make your life hell’, so you have to work 25/8 if you want to get out.”
