Today the official
site for Eight Legged Freaks goes live and Coming
Soon scored an early look at it.
"The site can keep you entertained for hours, with
such features as 'Make Your Own Movie Poster'. The section
allows you to take different shots from the film and composite
your own style of poster. There's also a game, coming soon,
called "Let the Squashing Begin". The screenshots
of the game look very cool - basically a first-person Spider
shooting game. There will be 'Scream-Savers', behind-the-scenes
clips, a sweepstakes, wallpaper and buddy icons".
Be sure to take a
look. I've also posted links below to the Quicktime trailer
for the film.

are releasing this year. Check out the image on the right

The name has been changed from
Arac Attack to Eight Legged Freaks. Warner Brothers have said
that the title was too similar sounding to Iraq Attack. The
decision to change the names follow the events in the US on
Sept. 11th.

There's a very early review online courtesy
of the folk over at AICN.
This guy, LA Caller, loves this movie! He kicks off proceedings
by outlining the story in more detail, "Arac Attack is
a film with thrills and chills - frightening, but in a fun
sort of way. A toxic waste spill near a small Nevada town
causes spiders to mutate into giant arachnids, which then
go on the attack...packing a poisonous punch. Arac Attack
features an ensemble cast that lend a brand of humor to the
action - including David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer, and Doug E.
Doug. The film is brought to you by the producing team of
Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin (Independence Day, Godzilla),
and will be rated PG-13 for its moments of intense, scary
action." There are no spoilers in his review, and you
can check out the rest of what he has to say over at AICN.

Okay, somes news already on this hot movie due to hit our
screens next year. CHUD
have posted an image which could be of the 'ARAC' spider that
will terrify us in Arac Attack. Looks like conceptual art,
but pretty good all the same. Go
check it out.
Updated : 4/7/01
Produced by the team behind Independence Day, Stargate and
Universal Soldier, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin. Holding
on to the directing reigns will be Ellory Elkayem who also
co-wrote the film.
As I said before the guys behind the film want it to look
and feel like a 50's B movie, but obviousley with a much larger
budget. With a fairly low-key cast (see below), perhaps the
filmmakers will be wanting to put much of that budget up there
on screen. I'm thinking Starship Troopers here.
In the lead role in this is David Arquette alongside a supporting
cast that includes Doug E. Doug (Cool Runnings) and Kari Wuhrer
from TV's Sliders. There is also a tiny rumour that Arquettes
wife, Courtney Cox may also feature in the movie, but only
in a cameo role.
