We’ve received word about what could be an interesting take on the found footage genre, Night Of The Dolls. The film, “is the story about five friends who head out on a weekend road trip from their home state of Texas to Indiana. The four girls play in a band called the Lolita Dolls. Their best friend Lenny accompanies them on the trip and he also drives the Van. The main purpose of the trip is to play a live show at the coveted HorrorFest in Indiana that Saturday night. But Kari, the lead vocalist, talks the band into making a stop at the infamous Brookhurst Sanitarium. She is obsessed with the murders of four young women that worked there twenty ago by a sick and twisted man that also worked there named Dr. Graves. When trouble with the Van strands them at the Sanitarium, the Band and Lenny reluctantly stay the night. Things go from bad to worse as they realize that the events that happened twenty years ago are far from over…”

Night Of The Dolls is written and directed by Tom Komisar and is produced by A HM&M Films. It stars Pretty Poison, Ellie Church, Angela Denton, Cassie ”Boom” Guthrie, Eric Reaume, D. Lawson and Chuck Smith. The film also features a cameo by Ari Lehman (Friday The 13th).

UPDATE: ‘Carrie’ Might Have Found Footage Elements, Plus Some Words From Chloe Moretz On The Project

Movies
Posted by EvanDickson on April 27, 2012 @ 3:34pm
Category: Movies / News

Update: Deadline has confirmed our exclusive from two weeks ago in which we announced that Julianne Moore was in talks to play Carrie’s mom.

A couple of interesting tidbits today about the upcoming Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry) directed remake of Carrie. The first of which is that the film may contain a few found footage elements. Now, various sectors of Twitter are already in a tizzy about this – but the report doesn’t sound conclusive by any means. And, even if this is correct, it doesn’t sound like the whole thing will be found footage.

This all comes from a talk MGM CEO Roger Birnbaum gave at the University of Denver. Per an anonymous student, “The CEO of MGM, Roger Birnbaum, came and spoke at my university today… [he] made it sound like it’s going to be a “found footage” type of film. The film is going to have interviews with the survivors of the prom incident, and focus on that take.” This could actually be faithful. As Peter Hall at Movies.com points out, “King’s original novel is interspersed with various “official” documents recounting what happened on Carrie’s deadly prom night (a writing technique called epistolary, which is basically the literary equivalent of found footage), so if Aguirre-Sacasa’s script is indeed going back to the source material, the film focusing on “interviews with the survivors of the prom incident” makes perfect sense.”

This doesn’t excite me, but neither does it get me all hot and bothered. I suppose I’m neutral on the idea of a Carrie remake in general. The other tidbit of this story – which doesn’t necessarily clash with the found footage stuff – is the following quote star Chloe Moretz gave to Box Office Pro during a Dark Shadows interview, “It’s an amazing role, and I’m so excited to get in there and try to tackle it and see what I can change up. It’s already been done, and there’s already been the amazing, amazing Sissy Spacek version of it, but what I really want to do is spice it up and take a more modern, younger approach to it because I am going through what Carrie is going through. She’s figuring out who she is, and I just really want to get in there and see what I can do, feel it out.”

Carrie opens on March 15th, 2013.

Finding Feet In The ‘Severed Footage’ Trailer

Movies
Posted by EvanDickson on April 13, 2012 @ 6:46pm
Category: Movies / Indie

I’m not sure if Severed Footage is supposed to be a comedy or not, but it at the very least looks entertaining. And, considering the subject matter, you have to give props to them for the title. You might remember that case a few years back where all those severed feet (still in their shoes) kept washing up onshore in the Northeast US and Vancouver, and this little film seems to take that concept and add a little urban myth flavor it it as well.

There’s also a campaign at the film’s Facebook page and official website where you can lobby for more footage to be “revealed”.

In the film, “Between 2007 and 2011, 12 severed feet in running shoes have been found off the coast of Western Canada and Washington State. This is the only place in the world where severed feet are mysteriously washing up on shore. Police are baffled by this phenomenon as no other body parts have been discovered. Major news networks including, CNN, ABC, CBC, MSNBC, BBC, CTV as well as National Geographic have been following this bizarre story looking for answers. In the fall of 2007, a student had been videoing his history project on Kanaka Pete the Axe Murderer. In January 2012 that same video was leaked from the local authorities. You decide if this video finally exposes the Mystery of the Severed Feet.”

The Addicted, Yet Another Found Footage Horror Heading To The Clinic

Director Sean J. Vincent took to his official blog to host production diaries and to let his readers choose the official poster for his UK haunted The Addicted. Empire shares the winning poster that’s posted inside.

The site explains that “the haunted-house tale revolves around recovering addicting David, a resident at The Manor rehabilitation unit in 1987 who comes under the twisted ‘care’ of clinical director Chris Hunter. Instead of nursing David to health, Hunter keeps him hooked, before poisoning him with toxic heroin and leaving him with horrifically scarred. Medical bastard. While the evil director is carrying on with his wife, David kills himself.

Picking up 25 years later, Hunter’s daughter Nicole, an aspiring TV journo, makes the not entirely sensible decision to spend the night at the now-derelict clinic, filming the place with her boyfriend.”

The only casting I could conjure up is Jenny Gayner. READ MORE

ARC Entertainment and XLrator Media have landed domestic distribution rights out of Berlin for Sean Stone’s Graystone, yet another found footage horror that takes place in an asylum of sorts.

“Back in Oct. ’09, a trio of filmmaking friends break into Graystone, an abandoned asylum, to explore whether or not they believe in the supernatural. But legend has it that anyone who ventures into the hospital will lose their mind. And the young trio will now have to suffer the consequences of their journey into a mysterious realm of escaped patients, ghosts and demonic “shadows”. What comes out of this adventure is a haunting tale of the supernatural, made all the more startling because it is real.”

Yes, they claim this is based on true events…

Stone stars alongside Alexander Wriath, Antonella Lentini, John Schram, Monique Van Vooren, and Monique Zrodan. READ MORE

Day3820812 And On Day 38, McG Hooked Up With Syfy Films

Back in August of 2010, we told you about a project that was making its way around town called Day 38. At the time it was being described as Twister meets Cloverfield meets Predator. The film, “begins in the face of a Category 5 tornado where a group of storm chasers find themselves fighting off a force greater than Mother Nature.“.

Now, it appears that the project has been in development with McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision and they’ve struck a deal with Syfy films to get it out there with Richard Farmer directing.

Per Variety, “Syfy Films is developing “Day 38″ and is in early talks with McG and Mary Viola to produce, and Richard Farmer to direct the found-footage thriller. Project, scripted by Chris Rossi and Gabe Scott, was developed in-house at McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision with Farmer — a noted commercial director whose latest campaigns include Sims, Activision and Nintendo. It’s Wonderland’s/McG’s first partnership with Syfy.”

I don’t think found footage works for everything, but since Tornado Chasers are always filming sh*t anyway, they shouldn’t have too many motivation issues on this one. READ MORE
