Cinedigm Nabs Eco-Horror ‘Unearth’ for Earth Day Release [Trailer]
Cinedigm has acquired U.S. and Canadian rights to the indie eco-horror Unearth (review), which made its festival run all of last year, and plans to release in cinemas later this month, writes Deadline.
“The film, an eco-horror, is set deep in America’s heartland, following a father desperate to save his family who exposes the local community to a sinister force which had long-laid dormant beneath their feet.”
It stars Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Swamp Thing, Escape From New York) and Marc Blucas (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), with Brooke Sorenson (“Modern Family”) and P.J. Marshall (“American Horror Story”).
Cinedigm will premiere the movie at Laemmle Theatres North Hollywood on April 20 ahead of its Earth Day, April 22 theatrical opening and digital release this Summer.
Directed by John C. Lyons and Dorota Swies from a script by Lyons and Kelsey Goldberg.
“It’s not just about fracking but how, in general, we take the goods of nature for granted,” said Swies. “Greed and ignorance have already destroyed our water supplies with chemicals, biological or radiological waste.”
Lyons added, “American farmers have been squeezed harder by our trade wars, and now the pandemic, with crops left rotting in the field when already, over the past decade, their income was down and suicides up. No one is safe from the wrecking ball that is corporate greed. When we destroy our precious water resources, it will eventually affect us in our food and drink. That’s the point that I hope comes across in the film. You may think this is a fictional story about a couple of remote farm families, but environmental injustice eventually affects us all.”

Post Malone Teams With Platinum Dunes & Vault Comics to Create ‘Fury Road’ Meets ‘Evil Dead’ Movie
Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.
What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.
The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…
The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”
“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.
“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”
“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
