James Gunn Producing Untitled Horror Film from ‘The Hive’ Director
James Gunn, the man behind the Guardians of the Galaxy films, is certainly no stranger to horror, getting his start working with Troma and writing/directing horror-comedy Slither. Gunn also wrote this year’s The Belko Experiment, and he’s next returning to the horror genre once more.
Deadline reports today that Gunn will produce an untitled horror film for The H Collective, based on a script by his brother Brian Gunn and cousin Mark Gunn.
David Yarovesky, who directed 2015’s under-seen infection horror gem The Hive (pictured above), is attached to direct the project.
Filming is set to begin this coming Spring on the film, which doesn’t yet have a plot.
H Collective is producing alongside Gunn’s Troll Court Entertainment. Exec producers are Brian and Mark Gunn, Dan Clifton and H Collective’s Nic Crawley.
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.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
