Eliza Dushku Stars In New Short From ‘Mortal Combat’ Creator Kevin Tancharoen
Following last week’s debut of BenDavid Grabinski’s Enormous, Machinima continues to roll out its shorts original programming with Gable V. The short stars Eliza Dushku (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse) and comes from Kevin Tancharoen who gave us Mortal Kombat: Legacy and Mortal Kombat: Legacy II. Tancharoen describes it as a “sci-fi, futuristic version of the Truman Show.”
In the pilot, “Government funded scientist, Professor Gable, unearths 5 people who seem to have special gifts, and seem to be a portent for the next evolutionary step for mankind. If he can harness the source of their gifts, he could use them for the good of mankind, or for evil. We meet one unwitting participant in this nefarious program in our short as she tries to make sense of what is happening to her.”
This is the first installment in a purported series so check it out below!
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.
