Almost Mercy Lands Distro in Huge 10-Picture Deal for Woodhaven Production; New Cast and Artwork Updates

Almost Mercy Lands Distro in Huge 10-Picture Deal for Woodhaven Production Company; New Cast and Artwork UpdatesWe announced recently that Bill Moseley and Kane Hodder would be featured in the upcoming Almost Mercy. We've received a bunch of new casting info (including the signing of a Dr. Gash favorite!) and a mega distribution deal.

The two leads in Almost Mercy will be played by Danielle Guldin and Jessie Default. Also named to the cast will be horror legend Debbie Rochon (pictured; woo hoo!), veteran actor Fred Sullivan, Jr., Eric Nyenhuis, Tanja Lynch, Sean Leser and pro wrestler Michael Bennett.

Wrestling icon Tommy Dreamer is also scheduled to make a cameo appearance in the Woodhaven Production Company project.

"The cast is really coming together," said Almost Mercy writer/director Tom DeNucci. "We have talented fresh faces to go along with some decorated veterans of the genre. I'm thrilled to have these actors tell the story. It's a really eclectic bunch."

This casting news comes hot on the heels of another big announcement from Woodhaven producer Chad A. Verdi. Verdi has announced that his company has come to an agreement with Screen Media Films on a 10-picture distribution deal. Five of the films will be in the horror genre, beginning with Almost Mercy. Universal will release each of the movies through their VOD platform, which reaches over 100 million homes.

"This all started with Screen Media Films in 2010 when they acquired my first film, Inkubus," Verdi said. "Screen Media has now acquired five feature films from me including Almost Mercy. It's a very special relationship that I value greatly. Screen Media has a great team that is led by President Suzanne Blech. We have been working together for the past four years, achieving much success; Suzanne is one of the best in the business and a joy to work with. Having a 10-picture distributing deal is a filmmaker's dream, and I believe this is one of the first of its kind."

Verdi and his wife, Michelle, are also currently producing a film entitled Bleed for This with Martin Scorsese, Bruce Cohen and Emma Tillinger Koskoff. The film is written and directed by Ben Younger and stars Aaron Eckhart of I, Frankenstein and The Dark Knight along with Divergent star Miles Teller.

Almost Mercy will begin filming in Rhode Island on April 28. More on this one as we get it. To keep up-to-date, visit the official Almost Mercy website, "like"Almost Mercy on Facebook and follow Almost Mercy on Twitter (@Almost_Mercy).

San Diego State University Offers Zombie 101 Class!

San Diego State University Offers Zombie 101 Class!We have all seen enough movies and TV shows to know that the dead are pesky little buggers and we should always be as prepared as possible. That being said, San Diego State University has taken its first steps to ensure this!

According to KPBS, this year San Diego State wanted to combat student apathy by offering a class with irresistible pop culture appeal.

"The name of the class is one word: Zombies," SDSU professor Emily Hicks said.

This is the first time Hicks is teaching a class on the undead, and like George Romero before her, she understands that zombies are just a jumping off point. Romero saw them as a blank slate for social commentary; Hicks sees them as a teaching tool to bring topics back to life. For instance, students that had grown bored with issues of racism and classism, or who felt singled out as examples because they were economically challenged, are now engaging in vigorous discussions on the topics.

"We’re talking about blood and guts and all kinds of things that are sort of leveling so I’ve found that some students are tired talking about multicultural issues in general in my other classes but not in the zombies class," Hicks said.

Max Brooks’ Zombie Survival Guide is assigned reading for San Diego State students, and they’re ravenous for such content. You won’t find any brain-dead kids in this class; everyone’s synapses are firing away, and that’s exactly what Hicks had hoped for.

"I have fallen in love with this class because everything we want as teachers for our students to do, which is to get engaged, to take notes, to prepare for classes in between classes, to always want to get up on stage and show us whatever they’ve discovered, explain what they are going to write about — all those things happen in this class without me saying anything," Hicks said.

San Diego State isn’t the first institution to let zombies shamble into the classroom. The University of Baltimore was one of the first to offer zombie classes back in 2010. There’s also been a surge in scholarly books with "zombie" in the title. Two of them — American Gothic Zombie and Race, Oppression and the Zombie— are required reading for Hicks’ class.

Students also watch films. Like the Canadian film Pontypool, which is unique in suggesting that zombie-ism spreads through language. The film inspires students to use their brains to consider how words gain their meaning and how that meaning can break down.

Professor Hicks likes the way zombies are reanimating her students.

"I have taught here 30 years, and I have never had students so excited about writing a mid-term," Hicks said.

The mantra of most zombie films is "aim for the head" San Diego State took that to heart, aiming for the minds of their students through the blood and gore of the zombie apocalypse.

Borgman Sheds His Clothes in New StillsYesterday we shared with you the creepy trailer for Alex van Warmerdam’s Borgman, which has proven itself to be a hit on the festival circuit. A June 6th release date has been given to the flick, and on tap for you today is an image gallery full of hairy male nudity. Sound good?! Then dig in!

Jan Bijvoet, Hadewych Minis, Jeroen Perceval, Sara Hjort Ditlevsen, Eva van de Wijdeven, Annet Malherbe, and Tom Dewispelaere star.

Synopsis
Borgman is the central character in Alex van Warmerdam’s dark, malevolent fable. Is he a dream or a demon, a twisted allegory or an all-too-real embodiment of our fears? Borgman is a sinister arrival in the sealed-off streets of modern suburbia. His presence unleashes a crowing gallery of distortion around the careful facade constructed by an arrogant, comfortable couple, their three children, and nanny.

What If Jurassic Park Was Listed on Business Review Site Yelp?

What If Jurassic Park Was Listed on Business Review Site Yelp?If the Jurassic Park franchise has taught us anything, it's that the idea of a dinosaur-filled amusement park is a much better one on paper than it is in reality. Death and destruction are not exactly what parents are after when they take their kids to theme parks...

So as you might imagine, the reviews for such a place wouldn't exactly be raving.

In this hilarious image we spotted over on the website Mandatory, someone imagined a world wherein Jurassic Park is a real place and is listed on business review site Yelp.

What would visitors have to say about their experience after returning home? Well, let's just say that the folks who return home are the lucky ones!

The Jurassic Park franchise continues with Jurassic World, set to hit theaters June 12, 2015. Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) penned the script with Derek Connolly and directs. Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, and Pat Crowley produce.

Writer Jeff Buhler Sheds Light on Grudge Remake

Writer Jeff Buhler Sheds Light on Grudge RemakeWe told you that there was a remake or reboot or re-imagining or whatever they're calling it now of The Grudge a few weeks back, and today some details as to just what this flick will be have come to light.

Writer Jeff Buhler spoke with FEARnet recently about what we should expect...

"We’re not approaching this as a remake of the Sarah Michelle Gellar film or a remake of the Ju-on film,” stated Buhler. “This is pushing the mythology forward while keeping the concepts and spirit of those movies, yet finding a new way to tell a story within that world, which is exciting.

Buhler also stated that the film will be home to "new characters, new ghost, and a new mythology. I’m not really at a liberty to say anything more than that for obvious reasons, as we are still in the scripting process. I think letting fans of the original series know that we are not going back to (the character of) Kayako and trying to mine what’s already been mined is important (though). We are still very early in the process.”

The original reboot of the 2004 Takashi Shimizu film starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, cost around $10 million, grossed $187 million worldwide, and hatched two sequels. It was based on the Japanese horror thriller Ju-on by Shimizu. The new one will be produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Taka Ichise with Roy Lee, Doug Davison, Joe Drake, and Nathan Kahane exec producing.

WGN Taps Justin Lin to Furnish Their Radiant Doors

WGN Taps Justin Lin to Furnish Their Radiant DoorsAh, the future. Who knows what it holds. Wonders? Horrors? Both? One way to find out would be to have someone time travel back to us and give us the skinny, but who knows what kind of butterfly effect that would cause? Enter the new series from WGN America.

Not sure how Dread-worthy this will turn out to be but Deadline is reporting that Gaumont International Television ("Hannibal") has teamed with filmmaker Justin Lin and his Perfect Storm Entertainment for "Radiant Doors."

The project, from writer Jeremy Doner ("The Killing"), has received a script against a series commitment, meaning that it would go straight to series if the pilot script gets WGN’s approval. Lin is set to direct and executive produce with Doner and Perfect Storm’s Danielle Woodrow and Troy Craig Poon with Ryan Andolina serving as co-producer.

An adaptation of the short story by Michael Swanwick which was featured in his Tales of Old Earth collection, "Radiant Doors" is described as a gripping drama series exploring how our society deals with the sudden arrival of a flood of refugees from a dystopian future.

“We have been wanting to work with both Justin and Jeremy and are so happy to have them come together on this project,” said GIT CEO Katie O’Connell. “The award-winning short story really captivated all of us with its transcendent themes.

Both WGN America and GIT are in the straight-to-series business. WGN’s first original drama, "Salem," premieres April 20.

  • New Poster for The Demolisher Isn't Monkeying Around

    0
    0

    New Poster for The Demolisher Isn't Monkeying AroundWe first told you about the "hyper-violent" new film from Latefox Pictures entitled The Demolisher back in February and today we have a brand spanking new bit of teaser art for you cats to chew on! Dig it!

    Check out the goods below via Bloody Disgusting.

    From the Press Release:
    Latefox Pictures will be slamming into production with The Demolisher, scheduled to begin shooting in late spring 2014.

    Directed by Gabriel Carrer (In the House of Flies), The Demolisher chronicles the story of a man named Bruce (Ry Barrett; The Drownsman), an ordinary repairman tormented by a crippling sense of responsibility for his disabled wife, Samantha (Tianna Nori; Clean Break), a former policewoman and survivor of a gang-related assault. Bruce’s increasing hyper-sensitivity to the injustice suffered by his wife steers him down a dark path of vigilantism. With his rapidly disintegrating mental health, paranoia, and overwhelming sense of condemnation, Bruce channels his inner rage, punishing a young woman, Marie (Jessica Vano; The Unabomber Manifesto), and finding refuge in a world of intense violence.

    The Demolisher is both a character study and a psychological examination of trauma, resulting in an unapologetic portrayal of what can happen when a fragile mind is pushed too far. “The film is complex and character-driven, dealing with an outpouring of raw emotion,” said director Carrer, also one of the film’s producers. “It delicately juggles our sympathetic nature and reactions to chance encounters with the dangerous and addicted intoxication of violence. The film’s narrative pertains to the film industry, or any industry for that matter, and the level of abuse that can be endured,” he concludes.

    Award-winning cinematographer Martin Buzora (Neverlost) will capture the film’s fresh hyper-visual aesthetic. Along with Carrer, The Demolisher is produced by Barrett, AK Lamm, Duane Frey, Christian Burgess, Martin Buzora, Nathan Hawkins, and Andrew Wood.

    For further information, visit the official The Demolisher Facebook page, which will be regularly updated with concept artwork and sneak previews from the upcoming soundtrack, produced worldwide by talented and upcoming electronic music producers and remixers.

    Full Cast Reveal - See Who's Going Sundowning on M. Night Shyamalan

    Full Cast Reveal - See Who's Going Sundowning on M. Night ShyamalanThe full cast has been revealed for M. Night Shyamalan's latest foray into the world of the spooky known as Sundowning, and we have all the details you need minus the twist. That will come, as always, at the end.

    The pillar of journalistic integrity known as IMDb has posted the cast (so take this with a grain of salt).

    In addition to the previously announced Kathryn Hahn and Ed Oxenbould, it seems Erica Lynne Marszalek, Peter McRobbie, Olivia DeJonge, Deanna Dunagan, Benjamin Kanes, Jon Douglas Rainey, Brian Gildea, Shawn Gonzalez, Richard Barlow, Steve Annan, and Michael Mariano have all been added to the cast.

    Black Swan's costumer Amy Westcott and production designer Therese DePerez are working on the film alongside French cinematographer Maryse Alberti (The Wrestler).

    Hahn plays a single mother whose two young children visit their grandparents… and things go very wrong. Oxenbould plays her son, who is protective of his sister.

    No other plot details were immediately available, as Shyamalan prefers to surprise his audience. However, “sundowning” is described as a psychological phenomenon associated with increased confusion and restlessness in patients with some form of dementia. Symptoms also include agitation and mood swings.

    Official Synopsis Arrives for the Supernatural: Tribes Pilot (Supernatural Episode 9.20)We've been waiting a long while (since last summer's San Diego Comic-Con, when we first heard about it) for the official synopsis of the planted pilot for the "Supernatural" spinoff known as "Supernatural: Bloodlines," and it's finally arrived!

    "Supernatural" Episode 9.20 - "Bloodlines" (airs 4/29/14, 9-10pm):
    SAM AND DEAN INVESTIGATE MONSTER FAMILIES IN CHICAGO — Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate a case in Chicago, where they discover that various mafia-esque monster families are, unknown to humans, running the underbelly of Chicago.

    Sign Up for The Fear ProjectWord of a new horror anthology film has come our way called The Fear Project, and we have your first look at the trailer for this coming in 2015 fright fest! Read on for that and more details. Go on! You know you wouldn't be here if you had something else to do!

    The Fear Project will feature four tales of terror from directors Alex Deck, Owen Mulligan of DeadFi, Dion Cavallaro and Paul Thomas of Freeze Frame Films (The Eidolon State), Douglas A. Plomitallo of ScaredStiffTV, and Kenny Collins of Enter Viral Media.

    The Fear Project is a Canadian/American/Australian found footage horror anthology in the vein of V/H/S. It aims to take the idea started by the geniuses behind that film and turn it on its head, presenting gripping psychological horror tales which have a strong contrast to the gory, often overtly violent tones of V/H/S.

    Synopsis
    After their friend becomes the latest victim in a chain of throat slashing murders, two young men go to the scene of the crime to investigate. While there, they discover a room lined wall-to-wall with old television sets and a plethora of terrifying videos, each containing a piece of the puzzle. What they ultimately discover will change their lives forever.

    Exclusive Preview: Syfy's Metal Hurlant Chronicles

    Exclusive Preview: Syfy's Metal Hurlant ChroniclesOn Monday, April 14, at 8PM, Syfy will be premiering its newest series, "Metal Hurlant Chronicles". The show is imported from French company WE Productions and follows the sci-fi anthology Metal Hurlant, better known in the United States as Heavy Metal.

    We got a sneak peek and will let you know what to expect.

    The episode Syfy shared with Dread Central is "King's Crown," based on a bloody tournament being held to determine the new king as the previous ruler is nearing death.

    The episode is absolutely loaded with awesome fighting action featuring Michael Jai White and Scott Adkins. The athleticism and choreography displayed in the various dueling scenes is easily worth the price of admission here.

    Aside from the fighting, which is obviously the centerpiece of the episode, the acting is okay and the digital effects are very good at times, but not always consistent. There are a few spots where the computer-generated images look a bit cheesy, but other times when they are outstanding.

    The setting appears to be medieval times at first, but we soon see the presence of droids. We learn that the society was once a technological haven, but a corpulent and malicious king stripped his people of all technology and plunged them back into a new dark ages, keeping the technology for himself. (He did still have a Facebook page, but being the only one with access, it became kind of boring. Okay, that part's not true.)

    Overall, the episode was a lot of fun. The action was top-notch, and although the acting might not have been Oscar-worthy, it was good enough to carry the story, which had a nice twist ending. And each new episode of "Metal Hurlant Chronicles" will feature a new cast, new world, and whole new story, making for a completely fresh experience every time. It's definitely worth tuning in to Syfy next Monday to see the premiere episode of "Metal Hurlant Chronicles."

    Synopsis
    Based on the popular comics anthology Metal Hurlant, each of the 12-episodes in this series take place on a different planet with a different cast, linked together by the presence of an asteroid, which plays a vital role in their lives – and the future of their civilization. The international cast includes James Marsters, Rutger Hauer, Michael Jai White, and Joe Flanigan.
