A mysterious yet potent strain of Marijuana from Jamaica has hit the streets in a quiet, suburban neighborhood. It doesn’t take long until the effects of the powerful Ganja take control of the town stoners; and cause them to start acting strange. Can you handle the high-caliber chronic? Or, will you fall victim to the…Night of the Living Heads?

K5 International has boarded international sales for Robert Eggers’ The Witch of New-Canaan Woode, reports Screen Daily. “The horror film is set in 17th century New England, where a farming family is tormented by an evil witch.” The shoot is planned for spring/summer 2013.
Meanwhile, Maniac‘s Elijah Wood has boarded Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo’s first English-language picture Open Windows, an innovative, high-tech suspense thriller unfolding on the screen of a laptop connected to the Internet. Shooting began this week on a high-security set in Madrid. It is Vigalondo’s third feature after the 2008 time-travelling tale Timecrimes and Extraterrestrial, a hit on the fantasy film festival circuit over the past 12 months. “The plot revolves around a desperate search by Wood’s character for an actress, played by The Girlfriend Experience lead Sasha Grey, who has been abducted by vicious villain Chord, played by British actor Neil Maskell.” Spanish producer Lavigne revealed the production would use 12 different types of camera, including webcams, head cameras, tablets, mobile phones, 3D mapping cameras as well as security and satellite cameras to shoot the multi-format picture.
Ryan Kampe’s Visit Films has acquired world sales rights to M Blash’s The Wait starring Jena Malone and Chloë Sevigny, the site also reports. “‘The Wait’ charts what happens when a mysterious phone call from a psychic plunges a family into a state of suspended belief while waiting for their recently deceased mother to be resurrected.” Luke Grimes also stars.
There’s going to be a ton of new film announcement out of Cannes, but we’ll get the ball rolling now.
Actively casting for a shoot later this year is The Witch of New Canaan Woode, an indie being produced by Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy.
Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that Robert Eggers will be directing from his own screenplay about “A witch who terrorizes a family who lives on a farm in the 1640′s.”
The film is loaded with possession and a heavy mystery surrounding which family member may be The Witch. The Witch, though, is described as being hideous and having a hunchback. An sticking to the stereotypes, she’ll be flying on a broomstick. Cool!
