UPDATE:  We've just gotten a direct comment from Lionsgate who have confirmed that the release date for My Bloody Valentine 3D HAS NOT changed - it's still scheduled for January 16th 2009.  Looks like IMDb has lead us astray once more... surprise, surprise.  On a related note, Mr. Voorhees, please wipe that smug grin from off your face...

Good morn’, my pumpkin children.  Um, well it was a good morn’… until I called you all pumpkin children.  Sorry about that.  Anyways… since the day I first caught wind of My Blood Valentine 3D’s existence I’ve been ripping into its marketing people for not releasing it on Valentine’s Day.  I mean, the movie is called My Bloody Valentine – so its entire existence relies on the holiday.  On another note, why would you release it a matter of weeks before Valentine’s?  Why not just release it on Valentine’s?  Well, it seems that Bloody may have gotten a release change.  That’s right, if you’ll take a look at Exhibit A (i.e. the film’s IMDb page) you’ll notice that the U.S. release date has been changed to February 14th – a date most commonly known as St. Valentine’s Day.  The film was originally skedded for a January 23rd release, but was moved to January 16th this past July.  As you’ll notice on the new poster, there is no release date.  So has My Blood Valentine finally been hit with a big heaping dose of logic, changing its release to Valentine’s?  Can’t say for sure, but it looks like it could be so.

Ah, but what’s the hole in this theory?  Well, February 14th is a Saturday this year.  How, aside from the calendar in my cell phone, could I possibly know this?  Because the date before is Friday the 13.  Friday February 13th…  Sound familiar?  It may, because that’s the day that the FRIDAY THE 13TH REMAKE WILL BE RELEASED!  And each film stars one of the TWO STARS OF SUPERNATURAL (Jared Padalecki in Friday, Jensen Ackles in Valentine)!!!  This just keeps getting better and better.  So the question becomes – will My Bloody Valentine 3D open on a Saturday and, if it does, does that mean a horror movie/Supernatural brother gore-off?!  Stay tuned while this situation develops.

Well in other 3D horror movie news that’s more than just speculation, UGO scooped a poster for Bloody Valentine 3D – a poster that features a giant ice pick nearly chopping some dude’s wang off.  Seriously.  Look at that dude in the front row, irresponsibly spilling his popcorn everywhere, and tell me he’s not about to be castrated by this film.  This is of great irony considering the poster’s tagline: “Nothing says ‘Date Movie’ like a 3D ride to hell”.  Well, for this poster’s designer, apparently nothing says ‘Date Movie’ like ‘Eunich’!  But for real, I’m not even considering this a movie poster so much as a one-sheet for a theme park ride.  Check it out below and see what you think of it.

My Bloody Valentine 3D is a rehash of the '80s slasher flick.  It's directed by Patrick Lussier and stars Jensen Ackles, Jamie King and Kerr Smith – look for it when it hits theaters on… well, I guess we don’t know exactly when it’ll hit theaters.
