It’s been 13 years since Eric Bress made his directorial debut with The Butterfly Effect, and though he wrote The Final Destination in its wake, Bress has yet to direct another feature. That all changes when principal photography begins this coming March on Ghosts of War, which Highland Film Group is bringing to the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.
Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) has signed on to star in the supernatural psychological thriller, written and to be directed by Bress.
In the film…
Five battle-hardened American soldiers are assigned to hold a French Chateau near the end of World War II. Formerly occupied by the Nazi high command, this respite quickly descends into madness when they encounter a supernatural enemy far more terrifying than anything seen on the battlefield.
Thwaites will play Chris Goodson, a natural leader and brilliant strategist who is plagued by battle fatigue.
Miscellaneous Entertainment’s D. Todd Shepherd, Joe Simpson, and Shelley Madison are producing and financing the project. Adrian Jayasinha will Executive Produce.
