Breck Eisner NOT Attached to ‘The Brood’ Remake
While Breck Eisner has the impressive remake of The Crazies arriving in theaters next Friday, the son of Walt Disney chief executive officer Michael is still having trouble getting his next off the ground. While he was originally developing Uni’s Creature from the Black Lagoon redo, it was recently revealed that he’ll be bringing David Cronenberg’s classic The Brood back to the big screen. Not so fast says SyFy. “I’m not signed on [The Brood], no,” Eisner told the site Thursday. “I was approached about the movie, and I’m just in discussions about it.” Adding, “I like the writer, Cory Goodman’s, script…I’m a big fan of the original. I still have yet to decide if it’s something I really want to be doing. Is it a movie for me? I’m still kind of soul-searching on that one.” The original followed a woman who telepathically communicates with her group of mutant children, instructing them to act out violently.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
