Watch: Short But Straightforward New Trailer for Bousman's '11-11-11'
The previous trailers have focused on the religious mystery and creepy presence of recurring numbers, but now yet another new trailer for the forthcoming horror film 11-11-11 from Darren Lynn Bousman, the director behind a few sequels in the Saw franchise, Mother's Day and Repo!, seems to be going for an over-the-top angle as far as the horror is concerned. Complete with a prominent voiceover that sounds almost like it's straight out of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse, the trailer makes the film seem a little campy on the marketing side of things, especially with that last bumper. See it below!

Woody Allen's Rome-Set 'Bop Decameron' Now Called 'Nero Fiddled'
I guess Woody Allen finally figured out that The Bop Decameron didn't quite have the same ring as his other titles. Deadline reports the title to his Rome-set comedy starring Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig, Alison Pill, and Ellen Page will now go under the title Nero Fiddled, which sounds a little more up Allen's alley if you ask me. Always a poet when it comes to film titles, Nero Fiddled will mark the once New York City centric director's first film to be set and shot in Rome after his recent successful European filming experience in the City of Lights.
