‘Crimson Peak’ Trailer Explodes With Classical Spooks and Frights!
As promised, we have the first full trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited gothic horror Crimson Peak, and damned is it spectacular.
Arriving October 6th from Universal and Legendary Pictures, the trailer for Crimson Peak looks like a classic haunter on roids as Guillermo del Toro brings all sorts of inspiration from films such as The Legend of Hell House, The Haunting, House On Haunted Hill, The Addams Family and even Haunted Mansion.
Not only does it feature a kicks cast – Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jim Beaver – but it looks like it could be the haunted house movie we’ve been dreaming about for years (why is it so hard?). From the stunning set design to the visual effects of the ghosts, I expect to be blown away by this haunting gothic horror story written by del Toro and Matthew Robbins.
Here’s what Crimson Peak is about: “When her heart is stolen by a seductive stranger, a young woman is swept away to a house atop a mountain of blood-red clay: a place filled with secrets that will haunt her forever. Between desire and darkness, between mystery and madness, lies the truth behind Crimson Peak.“
I love the throwback to old haunted house mysteries and am praying that Crimson Peak delivers the goods this Halloween season!
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
