  - The ears of FEARS recently heard producer and director Andrew van den Houten is currently reviewing and in talks with author John Skipp to bring his novella THE LONG LAST CALL to the big screen. The story deals with a group of people at closing time at a Midwestern strip club. As they’re about to call it a night “he” comes strolling in - a well-dressed stranger with a briefcase full of cash to spend. This is no normal customer, and his money is a bit unusual too. Every dollar he spends stirs up a bit more hatred, a little more repressed rage in whomever he gives it to. The night passes, pressure builds, and the stranger just smiles. He knows it’s just a matter of time before all of his blood-drenched plans fulfilled.New York Times bestselling-author-turned-filmmaker, satirist, cultural crusader, musical pornographer, splatterpunk poster child, purveyor of cuddly metaphysics, interpretive dancer, John Skipp is an all-around bon vivant. With THE LONG LAST CALL, Conscience, and the award-winning Mondo Zombie, Skipp has returned to the front ranks of modern horror fiction. There, he was offered some pizza and beer, which he gratefully accepted. And it was dee-lish. Other books include Stupography, The Light at the End, The Scream, and The Emerald Burrito of Oz. He lives in L.A., and thinks you should visit him at www.johnskipp.com, just for fun. Andrew van den Houten founded Modernciné his junior year of college. He envisioned the company as an ideal vehicle for showcasing both his creativity and that of his colleagues. Modernciné's first film production, "Inherent Darkness and Enlightenment", Andrew served as writer, producer and director. After graduation, Andrew returned to New York where he produced and directed a number of award-winning short films in addition to a variety of television commercials. In 2005, he directed "Headspace", Modernciné's first full-length feature. The film was an official selection of the Brussels International Fantasy Film Festival, a multiple award-winner at the New York City Horror Film Festival, and winner of the Best Monster Movie award at the World Horror Convention in San Francisco. Andrew and William Miller recently premiered Modernciné's latest feature film in US theaters, "Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door". The film is based on the best-selling novel by Jack Ketchum, The Girl Next Door. Modernciné will premier in 2008 "Home Movie" starring Adrian Pasdar ("Heroes") and Cady McClain and "Made For Each Other", starring Christopher Masterson and Bijou Phillips, also starring Danny Masterson, Lauren German, and Samm Levine with George Segal and Patrick Warburton.
