Robin William’s Daughter Zelda Toplines ‘Powder Burns’
When you love an actor or actress, you always hope their offspring will deliver the same amount of entertainment. I’m still waiting for Rumor WIllis to impress me (she wasn’t all that special in Sorority Row), Goldie Hawn’s daughter Kate Hudson has done some sweet flicks (I dig Skeleton Key), and now Robin Williams will see his daughter Zelda attempt at stardom with Powder Burns. You can get all the details beyond the break.
“Los Angeles-based film company Mind Blur Productions is proud to announce that Zelda Williams, the 20-year-old daughter of actor Robin Williams, has been cast in the lead role of their terrifying fact-based thriller Powder Burns, which is gearing up for an April, 2010 production start date in LA.
In Powder Burns Ms. Williams will play Emily Tomassini, an intelligent and devoutly religious but headstrong young woman who has been battling her mother and father over her relationship with an older, married health care professional named Philip Newman. After Emily’s spiteful dad, Paul Tomassini, has a violent confrontation with his daughter’s lover, the battles escalate into an all-out war that culminates in Emily and Philip going on a blood-soaked rampage in Emily’s childhood home that leaves four people senselessly slaughtered, including Emily’s parents and younger brother.
The riveting Powder Burns will take an in-depth examination of the twisted relationships and unbelievable events that lead to these sensational murders.”
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
