Severin Films to Release Di Silvestro’s Shocking Masterpiece ‘Hanna D’

Published

on

We’re sad to report that on the eve of the release of what he considered his masterpiece Writer/Director Rino Di Silvestro succumbed to cancer on October 3rd. Rino was overjoyed when we told him that Severin would finally be giving HANNA D. THE GIRL FROM VONDEL PARK its overdue DVD bow on October 27th. We had already shot an interview with him for the DVD a couple of years ago but he was adamant that a new, final interview be shot earlier this year. Even though he was in poor health the eccentric auteur was able to discuss, without holding back, his writing and directing process and express his deepest feelings about depicting the dark descent of a young girl into the world of hard drugs and prostitution. The film is a testament to his unique and sometimes bizarre vision. Rino is perhaps best known for directing WEREWOLF WOMAN and his other credits include DEPORTED WOMEN OF THE SS and WOMEN OF CELL BLOCK 7.Within months of the release of the ‘sweet-teen-turned-heroin-addict-prostitute’ hit CHRISTIANE F., European producers rushed to copy its shocking plot. But no film aimed lower than this 1984 filth-fest from writer/director ‘Axel Berger’, a.k.a. Italian SleazeMaster Rino Di Silvestro of WEREWOLF WOMAN and WOMEN IN CELL BLOCK 7 infamy. As Dutch schoolgirl Hanna D, Ann-Gisel Glass delivers an eye-popping performance that takes her from coy teenage tease to depraved junkie whore, complete with a parade of perversion that includes voyeurism, mutilation, sleazy pimps, cheezy love songs, drunk nude mothers and more. Karin Schubert (BLACK EMANUELLE) and Tony Lombardo (RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR) co-star in this deliciously sordid saga filmed on location in Amsterdam, rescued from a bankruptcy auction in Rome, and presented uncut and uncensored for the first time ever in America!

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
