New ‘Box of Shadows’ Website Launched, Second Trailer
Box of Shadows, director Mauro Borrelli and producer Ed Polgardy’s upcoming horror thriller about a group of college friends who discover a 15th century coffin that allows them to experience the world as ghosts, now has a new web site featuring exclusive photos, details about the film, and a two minute trailer that gives horror fans their first peek into the dark world of the movie (I still love The Frighteners effects).
The trailer features images of the mysterious coffin, its ghostly users, and the mechanical reaper who haunts the film’s unlucky characters. Frame grabs and behind-the-scenes photos show even more of the dark world that Borrelli and his team have constructed.
“We’re excited to show horror fans and lovers of dark material the first images from BOX OF SHADOWS,” said Borrelli. “If you like what you see in the trailer, you will love the movie.”
Besides the trailer and images, the web site features additional information about the ideas and concepts of the film, including the mysterious coffin. “What if you had a device that allowed you to enter the spirit world, pass through walls effortlessly, and travel anywhere without being seen? Would you use it for good or evil?”
“This movie is going to get under your skin in unexpected ways,” said Polgardy. “It’s a powerful story with spine tingling visual elements. Horror fans, get ready for a fun ride.”
BOX OF SHADOWS is slated for release in Summer of 2010. The producing team includes Polgardy (LAID TO REST, DARK HOUSE), film festival veteran Scott Rudolph, Alfredo Gilardini, Gabriella Stollenwerck (DEAD END, BIG NOTHING), and Domiziano Arcangeli (BLACK DEMONS, H1N1: VIRUS X).

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
