Dark Castle Entertainment and Simon Barrett Conduct a ‘Seance’ Next Month; Image Gallery Sets the Mood
Simon Barrett (V/H/S, V/H/S/94, You’re Next, The Guest, Blair Witch) makes his directorial debut with the upcoming horror movie Seance, which is headed our way in one month.
First, Seance comes to theaters, On Demand and Digital courtesy of RLJE Films on May 21. The film will then be arriving on the Shudder streaming service at a later date this year.
In the wake of the trailer earlier this week, a full image gallery for Barrett’s Seance has now opened up, introducing the cast of characters and setting the stage for his latest horror tale.
Seance was produced by Dark Castle Entertainment (House on Haunted Hill, Thirteen Ghosts, House of Wax, Orphan), and it’s the company’s first horror movie in nearly ten years!
“The film stars Suki Waterhouse as the new girl at the prestigious Edelvine Academy for Girls. Soon after her arrival, six girls invite her to join them in a late-night ritual, calling forth the spirit of a dead former student who reportedly haunts their halls. But before morning, one of the girls is dead, leaving the others wondering what they may have awakened.”
Stephanie Sy, Inanna Sarkis, Madisen Beaty, Djouliet Amara, and Ella-Rae Smith also star.
Adam Wingard is a producer on Seance.
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.
