‘One Way Trip 3D’ Gets Some Stills
I don’t think anyone is ever going to accuse My Bloody Valentine 3D of being a “good” movie, but it’s certainly fun and worth watching multiple times with a room full of friends and some beer. And, out of all the modern day 3D horror I’ve seen, it used the gimmick best, flinging body parts and blood at the screen with gleeful abandon. One Way Trip 3D, a German slasher currently in production, looks to follow suit; the ordinary and cliche plot certainly warrants the use of extensive, gimmicky 3D in order to make it fun. A few stills made their way to the net today via the film’s Facebook page, featuring lots of fire and digit amputation. Here’s hoping the slasher celebrates the stupidity of its formula through over-the-top 3D and humor, rather than become something straight-faced and pointless like Night Of The Living Dead 3D – Yikes!
Her Private Hell actor Diego Calva is the latest to join the cast of writer-director Parker Finn‘s remake of Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession, Deadline reports today.
Calva joins previously announced cast members Margaret Qualley, Callum Turner, and Paul Dano.
Parker Finn is writing, directing and producing the new take on Possession.
No word on character or plot details yet, but the original film starred Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as married couple Anna and Mark in Cold War-era West Berlin whose relationship spirals into a supernatural nightmare. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.
If Finn is adhering closely to the 1981 film, then Calva could be up for playing Heinrich, Anna’s lover who finds himself in way over his head with Anna and Mark’s emotional baggage.
For Possession‘s 40th anniversary, Brian Keiper captures why a remake of this particular film feels so daunting and curious: “Few movies depict emotional turmoil as effectively and daringly as Andrzej Zulawksi’s Possession. It is a challenging and sometimes inscrutable film, both for the mind and the emotions. Zulawski struggles through a number of deep issues throughout the course of the film; issues that speak to some of humanity’s deepest pains and fears. In many ways it is about loss— loss of political ideals, loss of faith, and loss of innocence. But most of all, Possession is about the fear, pain, and anger that comes from the loss of a marriage.”
Isabelle Adjani previously gave the remake, and Qualley’s casting in particular, her blessing.
Producers include Jonathan Fass, Roy Lee, Andrew Childs, and Robert Pattinson. Marc Bienstock will executive produce.
