Dying Over & Over Down ‘Memory Lane’
The mind-bending thriller Memory Lane will premiere Sunday, May 6 at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival. The feature film’s writer/director/editor/cinematographer/sound (literally one-man crew) Shawn Holmes, who shot the film in his native Ohio, will be in London for a Q&A with the audience at the Apollo Cinema premiere.
Memory Lane has been compared to Memento, Flatliners and the brilliant Primer (those are big words), and is a considerable achievement from 25-year-old Holmes, who made the critically-acclaimed film for less than $300.
“It follows Nick, a war veteran, who falls deeply in love with free-spirited Kayla. When she is found dead, Nick is devastated, and tries to kill himself, but his friends bring him back to life. Nick discovers in those vital moments between life and death that his mind can travel back in time to his last moments with Kayla – and, in doing so, can gather clues about her mysterious death. With the help of his friends, a bath tub of water, and a power socket, Nick set out to recreate those moments so that he can try and find Kayla’s killer… by killing himself over and over and over again.”
Memory Lane will be released in the UK later this year. For now, enjoy the trailer inside.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
