Talk of Infamous ‘Hellblazer’ Scuffle in ‘Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts’ Clip!
Halo-8 Entertainment and the Napa Valley Film Festival are co-hosting a special NYC advanced screening of “Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts” at the downtown NYC theater Cinema Village (22 E 12th St NYC 10003) on Friday October 14th at 11:15pm. Tickets are $11 adults, $8 student, and Halo-8 is also offering a $20 bundle which includes a preorder of the DVD (to ship for delivery on street date in February 2012). Ghosts is currently scheduled to officially premiere November 11th at the Napa Valley Film Festival, but the NVFF organizers made a special exception to co-present this advanced screening for fans attending New York Comic Con.
Bloody Disgusting scored an exclusive clip that focuses on the controversial Warren Ellis written “Hellblazer” comic that resulted in Ellis leaving DC altogether rather than have his work altered.
Ghosts features the most extensive interview ever given by Ellis, whose groundbreaking body of work includes comic books “Planetary,” “Transmetropolitan,” “Iron Man: Extremis,” “FreakAngels,” “The Authority” and novel “Crooked Little Vein.” Spanning from his first memory watching the moon landing as a child to the recent boffo success of RED, Ellis’ acerbic wit and core belief in humanity come across like never before… revealing the unique point of view that has made him such a pivotal and influential figure to his massive audience of artists, journalists, scientists, and fans.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
