‘Blair Witch’ Director Proves Bigfoot ‘Exists’ With Cast Of Characters
While we patiently await the release of Image Entertainment’s Lovely Molly, director Eduardo Sanchez begins the hunt for his next genre project.
The Bigfoot found-footage film Exists has locked its cast ahead of its Monday start of production for Haxan Films and Amber Entertainment.
Variety reports that thesps Dora Madison Burge, Samuel Davis, Roger Edwards, Chris Osborn and Denise Williamson go to work next week at Spiderwood Studios in Elgin, Tex. with Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project) directing from a Jamie Nash script.
Brian Steele (Hellboy) has been set since last year to play the monster.
“ ‘Exists’ is a horror-thriller that chronicles a group of friends who set out into a remote Texas woods for a weekend of fun and are stalked and hunted by Bigfoot.”
It’s the second film produced under a multi-picture collaboration between Haxan and Amber following Lovely Molly, which bowed at the Midnight Madness lineup at Toronto and SXSW and is being released by Image Entertainment on May 18. Producers are Robin Cowie, Jane Fleming, Andy Jenkins and Mark Ordesky with Gregg Hale and Reed Frerichs exec producing.
You’ll never watch Jaws the same way again. That’s the promise being made by Jaws Explored, an upcoming deep dive documentary that examines the horror classic like never before.
From CreatorVC and director Ian Nathan, Jaws Explored is said to provide “a new way of looking at Spielberg’s classic that will deliver the deepest analysis of Jaws ever made.”
From the producers of The Thing Expanded and the In Search of Darkness series, Jaws Explored is the first in a brand new deep dive format that bears the “Explored” branding.
Jaws Explored is estimated to become available in August 2027, and the documentary can be pre-ordered now exclusively through the CreatorVC website. Now through August 9, you can secure your Blu-ray, the 80-page companion book, and even get your name in the credits.
The team previews, “You already know the stories: the broken shark; the seasick crew; the movie that almost sank. If you want more, this is for you. Jaws Explored is a new way of looking at Spielberg’s classic that will deliver the deepest analysis ever made. We’re gathering the best voices in cinema and stepping into the film itself to unpack what makes a masterpiece.
“Jaws has some great documentaries already. We’ve seen them and we love them, but we want more. Jaws Explored asks different questions: not what happened on set, but instead examining how and why this film has worked so well, for so long. What is Jaws’ true genius? Why do we keep coming back to it again and again? And what does it tell us about ourselves?”
“Together, we’ll go through Jaws moment by moment, stopping to examine what makes each bit special,” the team behind Jaws Explored promises. “Directors and editors weigh in on the significance of a cut, film historians deliver vital context, while psychologists break down why we’re still afraid, even 51 years and many watches later.”
