[Exclusive] Tom Atkins in Talks for a Starring Role in Third Franchise Installment ‘The Collected’
The third installment in the franchise that began with The Collector and continued with The Collection is finally on its way, and it’s been officially titled The Collected (or, if you prefer, The Coll3cted). Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton both returned to write the script, and Dunstan will again be directing. Josh Stewart and Emma Fitzpatrick will also be back.
Who else will be starring, you ask? How about one of our all-time favorite icons?!
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report today that horror legend Tom Atkins (Night of the Creeps, Halloween III, My Bloody Valentine 3D) is in talks for a starring role in The Collected!
Yes, a *starring* role. We’re told that all he’s got when he faces The Collector is his mouth. And in typical Tom Atkins fashion, we can expect that his words will hit like fists.
At the end of The Collection, Stewart’s Arkin quite literally collected the Collector, so the third film’s title is pretty perfect. We cannot wait to see where the franchise goes from there.
“The Collected is going to triple down on the grit and suspense we had in the first Collector,” we were recently promised. Filming is expected to take place this coming fall.
A job at a marijuana farm turns nightmarish in director Ariel Vida’s Trim Season, and Blue Harbor Entertainment has released the trailer just in time for 4/20 this weekend.
Trim Season will open in theaters and on demand June 7, 2024.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker and production designer Ariel Vida, Trim Season stars Bethlehem Million (Sick, “And Just Like That…”) as Emma, an adrift, jobless, 20-something seeking purpose. Along with a group of young people from Los Angeles, she drives up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California.
“Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that Mona (Jane Badler) – the seemingly amiable owner of the estate – is harboring secrets darker than any of them could imagine. It becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives.”
The cast also includes “Scream” and Hell Fest‘s Bex Taylor-Klaus, Starry Eyes, “Midnight Mass” and Doctor Sleep‘s Alex Essoe, Ally Ioannides (Synchronic), Cory Hart (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Ryan Donowho, Marc Senter and Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy.
Michelle Swope wrote in her review that Trim Season is “a suspenseful, uniquely crafted story highlighting pain and sacrifice that should spark some powerful conversation around women and gender. Mesmerizing performances, an innovative story, beautiful stylistic choices, and a little bit of witchy weed make Trim Season a must-see horror film.”
Aaron B. Koontz of Paper Street Pictures and Sean E. DeMott of Execution Style Entertainment produced. Paul Holbrook of Hlbrk Ent. produces in addition to Badler on behalf of MeJane Productions. Leal Naim executive produces while Cameron Burns co-produces.
