First Look at ‘Blood Bound’ Promises ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Meets ‘Drag Me to Hell’
Not only did Film Mode Entertainment bring The Ninth Passenger to AFM, but they also presented the AFM World Market Premiere of Blood Bound.
Written and directed by Richard LeMay, who recently directed Dementia 13, Blood Bound has been described as “Rosemary’s Baby meets Drag Me to Hell,” and it stars Eden Brolin (“Beyond”) daughter of multiple award-winning actor Josh Brolin, Joseph Melendez (“Ozark”), and Emmy-Award Winner Eric Nelsen (The Bay).
“Every 25 years, it begins. Bound to an ancient pact, a family of unlimited power descends upon a small rural town to sacrifice four human lives, one being a member of their own family. This thriller takes a dark look into how far the human spirit can take one soul in it’s most desperate hour. Blood Bound follows six people as they carry out their destiny to their ultimate horror.”
“Blood Bound is the perfect addition to our already impressive line-up of films,” said Mathilde Epstein, COO of Film Mode Entertainment, “We are quickly becoming the home for elevated genre films as evident in our success with films like The Good Neighbor starring James Caan. Our roster consists of a variety of these commercially viable titles that buyers and audiences around the world the world have been asking for.”
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
