First Look at ‘Outside’ Enslaved by a Demon [EFM]
Deadline shares the first look photo at Golden Globe-nominated actress Romola Garai’s (The Hour) directorial debut Outside, starring Carla Juri (Blade Runner 2049), Alec Secareanu (God’s Own Country) and Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake).
“The film explores the story of Tomaz, a refugee escaping war in his own country. Haunted by his past, he is offered a place to stay in a decaying, claustrophobic house, inhabited by an enigmatic young woman and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for his new companion, Tomaz can’t ignore his suspicion that something insidious might also be living alongside them.”
The original synopsis revealed that “he begins to suspect she is enslaved to a demon and resolves to fight the creature and rescue the woman he loves…but all is not what it seems.”
Matthew James Wilkinson (upcoming Untitled Danny Boyle project) of Stigma Films, and Maggie Monteith (Brotherhood) of Dignity Film Finance are producing. Damian Jones (The Iron Lady) is executive producer alongside James Norrie, Bob Portal and Inderpal Singh for AMP.
The UK film is currently in post-production.
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.
