Two More ‘Stake Land’ Character Prequels!
With the release only a week away, Dark Sky Films has kicked off the apocalypse.
Inside you’ll find two new character prequels from Jim Mickle’s Stake Land.
These mini-vignettes, detailing the time leading up to the horrific events of the film, each provide a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of the Stake Land cast of characters. “Jebediah” stars Michael Cerveris and was directed by Larry Fessenden, while “Willie” stars Sean Nelson and was directed by Danielle Harris!
“In the aftermath of a vampire epidemic, a teen is taken in by a grizzled vampire hunter on a road trip through a post-apocalyptic America, battling both the bloodsuckers and a fundamentalist militia that interprets the plague as the Lord’s work.”
Starring Danielle Harris, Kelly McGillis, and Conor Paolo, Dark Sky Films will release in limited theaters on April 22. Mickle is best known for directing Mulberry Street.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
