‘The Bad Batch’ Character Posters Are All Body
Forget using an actor’s face to sell a movie, Neon is using the star’s bodies to pitch Ana Lily Amirpour follows up her alt-cult sensation A Girl Walks Home, the highly anticipated dystopian cannibal desert trip The Bad Batch.
Opening June 23rd, 2017, The Bad Batch is a savage dystopian cannibal fairy tale set in a Texas wasteland where society’s rejects are just trying to make ends meat.
Speaking of, the cast is insane, including Suki Waterhouse, “Game of Thrones'” Jason Momoa, Giovanni Ribisi, Yolonda Ross, Jayda Fink, Cory Roberts, Louie Lopez, and even Jim Carrey.
Arlen (Waterhouse) as she is unceremoniously dumped in a Texas wasteland fenced off from civilized society. While trying to orient her unforgiving environment, she is captured by a savage band of cannibals and quickly realizes she’ll have to fight her way through her new reality. As Arlen adjusts to life in ‘the bad batch’ she discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who you’re standing next to.
Bad Batch is at the top of our must-see list for 2017.
Paramount Primal, the genre label run by J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, has picked up the high-concept erotic thriller spec Sweet Spot, per Deadline.
Sweet Spot hails from Nic Curcio & Kirby Gladstein, the writing duo behind the upcoming horror film Play House.
No other plot details have been divulged at this time, but expect to hear a lot more from Curcio and Gladstein in the coming months thanks to the upcoming feature Play House.
Last September, the writing duo secured funding and distribution for the film when they won Fantastic Fest’s inaugural Fantastic Pitches competition. That’s where it will premiere this year: Curcio and Gladstein got married a week after production wrapped and will premiere the film at Fantastic Fest in September.
Curcio directs Play House, which triggers obsessive madness when a man uncovers disturbing VHS tapes of an unaired children’s television show hidden in the basement. Demented kids’ shows seem in vogue for horror lately, too, with the recent release of Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round and the upcoming Buddy.
Will Harrison (Daisy Jones & The Six), Jessica Sula (Split), Jordan Gonzalez (The Long Walk), and James Urbaniak (Oppenheimer) will star in Play House.
Stay tuned for more on Sweet Spot and Play Dead as we learn it.
