Fab Morvan has reversed course on Freedom 250. The Milli Vanilli singer shared his decision during a CNN interview Monday night. “This is not what I signed up for,” he said. Morvan first grew concerned when another name backed away. “When I saw Young MC pulled out, I was like, ‘Well, that’s weird… What does he know that I don’t know?’ So I was a little worried there, and then one after the next, people started to leave,” “But throughout the week it turned into a circus. I’m not into politics, so you hear it first here: I’m not attending…

Damien Leone is expanding his horror footprint beyond Art the Clown. Lionsgate has officially acquired Tortures of the Damned, a new original horror film Leone will write, direct, and produce.
