Faux Documentary ‘Apartment 143’ Has A Trailer!
Yesterday was all about Apartment 143 (Emergo) as we released a stack of new images and the film’s official poster for the Spanish haunter opening on VOD April 27, with a limited theatrical run slated for June 1.
While we wait for Magnet to unleash the official trailer on Apple later today, this morning it hit international waters. The film is English-language, so no need for subs! The footage reminds me of Sidney J. Furie’s classic 1982 The Entity (I’m pretty sure I saw a brief shot of a ghost-rape about to occur) with all of the ghostly violent. I just hope it doesn’t come off like a physical comedy – watching nothing throw a guy around for an hour just isn’t scary.
Directed by Carles Torrens, and starring Kai Lennox, Michael O’Keefee, Gia Mantegna, Rick Gonzalez, Fionna Glascott, and Francesc Garrido, “All types of cameras are used – video, HD, 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm – as we follow scientists’ footsteps through a haunted house, casting a frightening spell over the audience. Brace yourself for this terrifying experience!”
Shot entirely in English, Emergo is the descendant of The Blair Witch Project and REC, but breaks away from tradition by revolutionizing filmmaking altogether.
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.
