Today, deleted animation from Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile was released which showcases clips that were cut out of the film. More extras will be released during the weekend, including a production gallery.      Also, after the studio said that they wanted Barry Hollows, director of Zombie: Genesis (check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQW0sGkgqCI ) , to direct Forest of Fear , the studio sent him a copy of the script to read over and leave feedback on.
