‘Shookum Hills’: Two More Fall Through An Appalachian Sinkhole [Exclusive]
Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned that Jonathan Sadowski and Chinaza Uche have joined the cast of the newly-titled Shookum Hills, the horror-thriller directed by Brad Parker (Chernobyl Diaries), as revealed by award-filmmakers Julio and Diego Hallivis, aka The Hallivis Brothers.
They join previously announced cast members Alicia Sanz, Adan Canto, Will Patton and Zach Avery in the film from 1inMM Productions.
In the film, a geological expedition to an Appalachian sinkhole becomes a terrifying fight for survival against a mysterious deadly force.
Shookum Hills is being financed by 1inMM Productions, and being produced by Julio and Diego Hallivis (1inMM), Alejandro De Leon, and Andres Rosende. Jared Ian Goldman is Executive Producing. The script was penned by Eric Scherbarth and Stefan Jaworski, with the film currently in production this month in Kentucky.
Uche has recently been seen as one of the leads in the critically-acclaimed Tribeca Film Festival premiere Nigerian Prince, directed by Faraday Okoro.
While Parker is best known as the director of Chernobyl Diaries, he is also known as a visual effects supervisor on films such as We Own the Night and Let Me In, as well as second unit director of Dawn of the Apes and War For the Planet of the Apes.
1inMM Productions is in post-production on the film Hell is Where the Home Is, a home invasion thriller directed by Orson Oblowitz and starring Angela Trimbur, Jonathan Howard, Janel Parrish, Fairuza Balk and Zach Avery.
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.
