Canadian filmmaker Jason Eisener is a special talent.
After breaking onto the scene with his legendary holiday short, “Treevenge,” he became a horror name with his indie Hobo With a Shotgun.
While he’s not directing on the reg (he did helm the fantastic V/H/S/2 segment, “Alien Abduction Slumber Party/Abduction”), he’s all over the place in the horror genre. Not only is he one of the editors on Southbound, but he’s also executive producer on Turbo Kid.
He’s a favorite among the horror crowd and will be popping up all over the place – most notably, he’s the second unit director on Netflix’s Death Note, which reteams him with director Adam Wingard.
Filming is to take place in Vancouver from June 29th – August 30th (source).
Actress-singer Margaret Qualley is starring opposite male lead Nat Wolff.
“The story follows a student who discovers a mysterious notebook that kills whomever’s name is written in it. When the student meets the notebook’s previous owner, a demon bent on ridding the world of anyone it deems evil or useless, he ends up tracked by an Interpol officer investigating the unexplainable deaths of several criminals.“
Wingard is directing with a script by Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four). Roy Lee, Dan Lin, Jason Hoffs and Masi Oka are producing, with Doug Davison and Brian Witten executive producing.
