SXSW ’11: Bloody Disgusting Selects Acquires Apocalyptic Thriller ‘Fase 7’!

Published

on

I’m starting to lose track of all the awesomeness that’s coming your way starting this May.

While Anchor Bay acquired The Divide, Bloody Disgusting and The Collective have acquired domestic rights to Nicolás Goldbart’s Fase 7 (Phase 7), a Spanish-language end of the world thriller that carries a more lighthearted approach to the apocalypse. It premiered last week at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

Those of you who are into conspiracy theories will enjoy the in-your-face connection to the N.W.O.

Executive Produced by Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity), Fase 7 stars Berlin Silver Bear winner Daniel Hendler (Lost Embrace) as “A husband who has just moved into a new apartment with his seven-months-pregnant wife when their building is quarantined due to a deadly epidemic. Soon the residents of the building become unexpected enemies, and the husband is forced to join forces with his loony next-door neighbor to defend the contents of his fridge and keep his pregnant wife safe.

Phase 7 taps into early Romero and can be described as a cross between The Crazies, Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later. We’re told Goldbart loves John Carpenter and used Assault on Precinct 13, The Thing and Escape From New York as a template for the score.

The film will hit AMC Theaters (every Wednesday and Friday night, don’t forget that!) at a further date, before also arriving on VOD, internet and DVD. Other films you guys will be able to enjoy in theaters are Atrocious, Rammbock, YellowBrickRoad and the ball-to-the-wall insane Cold Fish.

Up next from Rampage director Brad Peyton is the sci-fi movie Atlas for Netflix, and Netflix has unleashed the brand new official trailer this morning. You can check it out below.

Jennifer Lopez stars in Atlas, which will likely be streamed for 100 billion minutes in its first week of release. Whatever that means. It’s coming exclusively to Netflix on May 24.

“The film follows Atlas, a woman fighting for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. To outthink this rogue AI, Atlas must work with the one thing she fears most — another AI.”

The upcoming science fiction film’s cast also includes Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan, Abraham Popoola, Lana Parrilla and Mark Strong.

Peyton said in a recent statement, “Having the chance to direct Jennifer Lopez in the title role of this movie is a dream come true, as I know she’ll bring the incredible strength, depth and authenticity we’ve all come to admire from her work.”

Leo Sardarian wrote the original script, with the latest draft by Aron Eli Coleite.

Producers for the Netflix genre movie include Peyton, Lopez, Jeff Fierson, Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter.
