FX Guru Takes Directing Reigns On ‘Seasoning House’
Shooting has started in London on claustrophobic horror The Seasoning House, reports Screen Daily.
The directorial debut of Paul Hyett, who has worked as a special make-up FX designer on credits including The Woman In Black, Attack The Block and The Eagle, also stars Nathalie Cox, Anna Walton and Kevin Howarth.
“The film centres around a young Balkan girl (played by Rosie Day) forced to work in a rape house during an unspecified war, who kills a militiaman and goes on the run.”
The film is being produced by Michael Riley of London based Sterling Pictures. The company has two other films due for release, JK Amalou’s Deviation (to be released by Revolver) and underworld comedy Hard Boiled Sweets, which Universal is releasing in the UK.
Sterling is hoping to go into production on three projects in 2012, psychological thriller The Black Site, Jasmin Dizdar’s The Gadfly and Chee Keong Chung’s futuristic MMA horror Zombie Apocalypse. 
Before Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus gives the franchise a brand new installment this coming August, Ridley Scott’s original horror classic Alien is headed back to theaters nationwide.
The Alien: 45th Anniversary Re-Release haunts theaters for “Alien Day” on Friday, April 26, 2024! You can check listings and grab tickets through Fandango now.
In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece, the film will return to theaters for a limited time on April 26, known worldwide as Alien Day.
Plus, before the film, attendees will see “Alien: A Conversation with Ridley Scott & Fede Alvarez,” where Fede Alvarez sits down with Ridley Scott to discuss the film that started the iconic franchise.
You can watch a clip from that special bonus feature down below. In this clip, Ridley Scott and Fede Alvarez discuss the film’s iconic Chestburster scene. One person who couldn’t believe his eyes back in 1979? Stanley Kubrick! Ridley Scott relays a funny story to Alvarez, recalling the time when Kubrick called Scott wondering how the hell he pulled the nightmarish sequence off.
One of the most influential sci-fi/horror films of all time, Alien was released in June 1979 and won an Oscar for best visual effects. Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto star. It is the terrifying tale of a crew aboard a commercial spacecraft that lands on an alien planet to investigate a mysterious transmission of unknown origin and encounters the deadliest lifeform in the universe.
Up next, Alien: Romulus will be released only in theaters on August 16, 2024.
