‘Scar 3D’ Gets 3D and 2D VOD Release on October 1!
Here’s some interesting news for those of you with VOD, and/or a 3D TV. Apparently Phase 4 Films is planning an October 1 VOD launch for Jed Weintrob’s long-lost Scar 3D, his HD-filmed torture flick starring Angela Bettis. It will be available in both 3-D (using the patent shutter glasses) and 2-D. Zack Ford’s script follows Bettis’ character Joan Burrows who returns home for her niece Olympia’s high school graduation only to be confronted with her nightmarish past: at the age of 16, Joan and her best friend were kidnapped and extensively tortured by a serial killer named Ernie Parish. Joan managed to escape and kill her captor, but it appears as though he has somehow come back from the dead, intent on continuing his macabre and deeply disturbing proclivities. It will arrive on DVD and Blu-ray January 11, 2011.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
