UK Outfit Trinity Nabs Hyper Horror ‘The Bunny Game’!
Trinity announced today that they have acquired UK rights to Adam Rehmeier’s highly controversial film The Bunny Game and will be releasing it through their new home entertainment label Trinity X in early 2012. This film WILL blow your mind. I like to call it “hyper horror”.
Yet to be certified in the UK, The Bunny Game, which has been described as ‘taking psychological and physical terror to new extremes’ “centers around a drug-addicted prostitute, Bunny, played by Rodleen Getsic, who is kidnapped by a truck driver (Jeff Renfro) and subjected to a harrowing series of sadistic and torturous ‘games.’ ”
Mark Sandell, co-director of Trinity Films, said today: “Although ‘The Bunny Game’ is acquired viewing and deals with disturbing issues, it fits the Trinity X brand perfectly in that it is distinctive and independent film-making at its best, with strong performances and a highly original filmic eye.”
The first title to be released by Trinity X, in Sept 2011, is Simon Rumley’s acclaimed Red White & Blue. Become a fan on Facebook.
Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession is getting a remake from Smile writer/director Parker Finn, and Deadline reports that The Batman actor Paul Dano has joined the cast.
No word at this time on character details, though.
The original film starred Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as a married couple in Cold War-era West Berlin whose relationship spirals into a supernatural nightmare. In Finn’s update, Margaret Qualley and Callum Turner will star as the turbulent couple in Finn’s Possession, and Adjani has officially given her blessing on Qualley’s casting.
Parker Finn is writing and directing the new take on Possession.
He’s also producing alongside Jonathan Fass via Bad Feeling, along with Roy Lee and Andrew Childs via Vertigo, and Robert Pattinson. Marc Bienstock is serving as exec producer.
Our own Brian Keiper celebrated Possession‘s 40th anniversary here on BD back in 2021, writing: “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.”
This will mark Dano’s first horror role. The actor previously appeared in sci-fi hits Looper and Okja.
