‘All Light Will End’ Brings Upon Grimly Night Terrors
Andy Buckley, whose credits include Jurassic World and Bridesmaids, has joined the cast of Christopher Blake Johnson’s written and directed horror/thriller All Light Will End, Deadline reports.
“The pic follows a capricious young author, with a hidden dark secret, who returns home for her brother’s graduation and finds herself haunted by the past and tormented by grimly night terrors. Meanwhile, her father (Buckley) investigates a series of brutal murders.”
Sam Jones III (“Smallville”), John Shuck (Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight), Ashley Pereira (“Nashville”), Alexandra Harris (Hellraiser: Judgement), Katie Garfield (Birth of a Nation) and Ted Welch (“True Blood”) co-star.
Jason Hill co-wrote the film with Johnson, who is also producing with Dave Moody and Josh Moody.
Zach Cregger is no stranger to violent movies, with his first two at-bats in the horror genre yielding the films Barbarian and Weapons. But even those movies can’t compete with the level of violence on display in his next movie Resident Evil, he teases in a new chat.
Zach Cregger tells Empire Magazine that Resident Evil is “definitely the most violent thing I’ve done.” He teases, “You gotta go grotesque! I wanted to go all the way.”
“So it’s gnarly. It’s brutal,” Cregger continues. “A very bloody affair.”
He also tells Empire, “Fleshing out what [the Umbrella Corporation is] up to and how the T-virus works, that’s not what this movie is. This movie is about one dude’s journey on foot, fighting monsters. I don’t give a fuck about checking boxes. All I cared about was just telling a fun story. We step on the gas at about eight minutes in and never take our foot off the floor.”
Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony.
The film is being billed as “a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise” from the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons).
Austin Abrams (Weapons) stars as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”) round out the cast.
