Tom Felton Calls ‘The Apparition’ in the Tradition of ‘Flatliners’
Last week Warner Bros. Pictures provided Bloody Disgusting with the first ever images from The Apparition, the Todd Lincoln-directed ghost story that stars Ashley Greene (Twilight), Sebastian Stan (Black Swan, The Covenent), Luke Pasqualino, Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th, Altitude), and Harry Potter villain Tom Felton. In theaters September 9, the pic is a sci-fi thriller in which a dangerous campus experiment leads to contact with the afterlife – horrific contact, no surprise. The LA Times caught up with Felton who described it as in the tradition of Flatliners.“It’s a sci-fi thriller with a dash of horror, and we shot it in Berlin,” Felton said of the Todd Lincoln film. “It’s based around the paranormal. Ashley Greene from the ‘Twilight’ films is the lead, and Sebastian Stan is in it. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. My character is the instigator of all the madness, all the experiments, and he’s in search of proof, and, of course, that leads to the downfall of the group. It’s kind of in the tradition of ‘Flatliners,’ but there’s more of a horror element there, and it’s very technological.”

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.
