Stacy Martin Moves Into Wheatley’s ‘High Rise’
Nymphomaniac star Stacy Martin has been cast in Ben Wheatley’s High Rise, reports Screen Daily. Martin joins the growing cast that already includes Tom Hiddleston, Elisabeth Moss, Luke Evans, Sienna Miller, and Jeremy Irons.
The film is based on J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel of the same name, which various people in the industry have been trying to adapt for decades. In the novel, the occupants of a high rise apartment building become isolated from the outside world and gradually descend into a brutal, primal society. It’s like Lord of the Flies with adults rather than kids, pitting the wealthy on the building’s top floors against the middle class lower dwellers. No word yet on who the 23-year-old Martin will be playing.
The screenplay was penned by Amy Jump, Wheatley’s regular collaborator and shooting is scheduled to begin in July in Belfast.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
