Feast: Eric McCandless

Feast

RELEASE DATE Sept. 22

WHY WE CAN'T WAIT We've already waited since spring 2005 and three postponed release dates for this tongue-in-cheek frightfest from the final season of Project Greenlight.

THE PREMISE A group of strangers find themselves trapped in a remote tavern and terrorized by a family of flesh-chomping monsters.

SOURCE The Project Greenlight-winning original screenplay by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton

THE BACKSTORY After all the delays, fans of Project Greenlight and rookie director John Gulager feared the movie would go straight to video, if it was even released at all. Now, however, Dimension Films' plan is to have Feast play midnight showings for a month — and then hit DVD on Oct. 17.

BURNING QUESTION Will this be better than the first two forgettable Project Greenlight features?

COME FOR ''Monsters, chicks, explosions, blood, a studio film, a real budget,'' Gulager promises.

STAY FOR The cast of savvy C-listers, including Henry Rollins, Jason Mewes, American Splendor's Judah Friedlander, Balthazar Getty, Navi Rawat (Numb3ers, pictured) and Krista Allen (Unscripted)
