This “Exorcist” Featurette Explains How the Filmmakers Are Approaching the Demonic Possession
As our own John Squires eluded to, FOX’s “The Exorcist” is one of the best horror shows since “Hannibal”. While it came out of the gate pretty weak (read our review), it’s been building steam for weeks up until last Friday’s absolutely shocking twist. And guess what? We’re only at the halfway point with another five episode on the horizon (the show returns on Friday, November 4th).
Now that Casey Rance (Hanna Kasulka) has allowed the demon to completely take over her body, her transformation is peaking. In this exclusive featurette, make-up designer, Tami Lane, talks about the process of turning Kasulka into a demon while also revealing that they’re “treating it like a growing virus within her.”
For those of you keeping up with the show, this is a great look behind-the-scenes at the production, while also learning some inside info on what the filmmakers are thinking as they approach this, gulp, sequel…
Out today in select theaters and on digital platforms is heartfelt and playful documentary Mockbuster, which sees a director cold call a studio and ask to helm a lost-world dinosaur epic.
Inexplicably, they say yes.
Our exclusive clip below highlights both the comedic nature of this bizarre scenario as well as the pressures of shooting dino feature The Land That Time Forgot in a mere six days, with no real feature experience.
A dino attack scene causes friction on set in this scene.
In the documentary, “A struggling filmmaker’s opportunity collides with chaos and compromise when Sharknado’s notorious studio, The Asylum, invites him to direct a ‘mockbuster.’ With six days, a micro budget, and mounting pressure, Mockbuster is a comedic, behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the balance between low-budget filmmaking and creative ambition.”
More than just an inside look at filmmaking via low-budget film studio The Asylum, it doubles as one man’s pursuit of his dreams to charming, humorous effect.
“Mockbuster is a documentary about my own journey, but it’s also a love letter to one of the last grindhouses still functioning in Hollywood. We get to meet the characters and creators of some of the most infamous (and most hated) B-movies of the last few decades. People who make movies purely for profit – no pretension, no artistry, just monsters, C-listers, and chaos. A film that both genre fans and cinephiles can enjoy. But Mockbuster isn’t just about filmmaking, it’s about losing sight of your dreams, and reclaiming them in your own twisted way,” Director Anthony Frith said in a statement.
From Executive Producer and famed documentarian David Farrier, Mockbuster opens in select theaters and on digital platforms beginning July 10.
