Sci-fi Thriller ‘Warning’ Builds Up Cast With Toni Garrn, Annabel Mullion and Richard Pettyfer
Announced by Deadline this morning, Toni Garrn (Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer, pictured above), Annabel Mullion (Patrick Melrose), and Richard Pettyfer (Bleak House) have joined the cast of sci-thriller Warning, alongside the recently announced Kylie Bunbury, Alice Eve, Rupert Everett, Thomas Jane, Tomasz Kot, Charlotte Le Bon, Garance Marillier, Alex Pettyfer, Benedict Samuel, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Annabelle Wallis.
Agata Alexander will make her directorial debut with the film, based on an original screenplay by Alexander, Rob Michaelson and Jason Kaye.
The film “explores the meaning of life when vastly disparate lives collide in interweaving stories set in the near-future earth,” according to a statement from the producers, Cybill Lui of Anova Pictures and Staszek Dziedzic of Film Produkcja (“Mr. Jones”).
Warning is currently shooting in Poland.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
