THR broke the news Tuesday that Gravitas Ventures has acquired U.S. and Canadian VOD rights to horror-thriller Malignant, slating it for a May 2014 VOD premiere, followed by a theatrical roll out with a date and distributor to be determined.
Written and directed by Brian Avenet-Bradley, “the film follows a grieving man, Allex (Gary Cairns). He falls victim to a rogue doctor (Brad Dourif) who conducts experiments on human test subjects to cure their “addictions.””
It also stars Nick Nicotera and Sienna Farall.
Produced by Laurence Avenet-Bradley (Dark Remains) and executive produced by Moderncine’s Andrew van den Houten (Jug Face, All Cheerleaders Die, The Woman), the pic made its world premiere as the opening film at the Shriekfest Film Festival in Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 4.

‘Atlas’ Trailer – The Algorithm Told Netflix You Want to Watch Jennifer Lopez Pilot a Robot Killing Machine
Up next from Rampage director Brad Peyton is the sci-fi movie Atlas for Netflix, and Netflix has unleashed the brand new official trailer this morning. You can check it out below.
Jennifer Lopez stars in Atlas, which will likely be streamed for 100 billion minutes in its first week of release. Whatever that means. It’s coming exclusively to Netflix on May 24.
“The film follows Atlas, a woman fighting for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. To outthink this rogue AI, Atlas must work with the one thing she fears most — another AI.”
The upcoming science fiction film’s cast also includes Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan, Abraham Popoola, Lana Parrilla and Mark Strong.
Peyton said in a recent statement, “Having the chance to direct Jennifer Lopez in the title role of this movie is a dream come true, as I know she’ll bring the incredible strength, depth and authenticity we’ve all come to admire from her work.”
Leo Sardarian wrote the original script, with the latest draft by Aron Eli Coleite.
Producers for the Netflix genre movie include Peyton, Lopez, Jeff Fierson, Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter.
