‘The Man in the Rearview Mirror’ Thrills Via 1950s Car Chase!
Easily featuring one of the coolest loglines I’ve read all year, Latitude Prods. and Lascaux Films have acquired Andy Pagana and Justin Thomas‘ spec script The Man in the Rearview Mirror, Variety reports.
“Set in the 1950s, the ‘Rear Window’-esque story follows a man, his wife and her mother who pursue a suspected kidnapper at high speeds on the freeway.” With no technology in sight, this proves to be an extremely intriguing plot.
Pic , acquired in a low- to mid-six-figure deal, will be a co-production between L.A.-based Latitude Prods. and Dallas-based Lascaux Films, which aim to start production early next year.
Scribes are currently writing Parkfield for the Woodshed Horror Co., an outfit run by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Josh Waller that is dedicated to the production of elevated horror films.

Rated “R” ‘The Little Mermaid’ Horror Movie Coming Soon; Watch the Trailer
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.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
