FrightFest ’11: Zom-B’s Bleed Blacklight Gore in ‘Chillerama’!!
Announced to be screening at this summer’s Film4 FrightFest in London, Bloody scored a pretty rad new still from Image Entertainment’s Chillerama, the forthcoming anthology featuring directors Joe Lynch, Adam Rifkin, Adam Green and Tim Sullivan.
The image released is from Joe Lynch’s (Knights of Badassdom, Wrong Turn 2) segment entitled “Zom-B-Movie”, where “a final night of nostalgia unfolds at the Kaufman Drive-In before it is torn down, where owner Cecil Kaufman (Richard Riehle, pictured inside) is screening obscure B-Movies from his private collection to an audience of local geeks and line-quoting movie lovers. Little do the unsuspecting cinema-loving patrons know, but tonight something is horrifically amiss at the Last Drive-In…” It reminds me of Mike Mendez’s The Covent from 2000.
The anthology featuring the works of Adam Rifkin (“Wadzilla”), Joe Lynch (“Zom-B-Movie”), Tim Sullivan (“I Was a Teenage Werebear”) and Adam Green (“The Diary of Anne Frankenstein”) is said to be released this Fall.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
