Impossivel! In a world of pointless remakes and vapid WB actors, the reemergence of legendary Brazilian director Coffin Joe is an occassion to be celebrated. In a roundabout fashion Twitchfilm has discovered that Jose Mojica Marins aka Coffin Joe will be helming a new film this October.

There is no word whether Marins will be starring in this film or if he is solely present as director but, as Gananian points out this is Marins’ first major project shot on 35 mm film in almost thirty years - his last directorial effort of any sort was in 1987 - and anything that brings a cult legend out of retirement is a good thing.

My recent passion for foreign horror cinema has been tempered by the fact that, outside of Asia, very few countries seem to be creating worthwhile work like they did twenty to thirty years ago. Between this and the upcoming Italian Masters of Horror series, is it possible that we’re on the cusp of a foreign horror renaissance?
