Strand Releasing Nabs Erotic Thriller ‘Exquisite Corpse’ for North America
“One woman’s obsession for another leads to the ultimate transformation.”
Strand Releasing is getting kinky with Exquisite Corpse, acquired from Jinga Films for release here in the States, reports ScreenDaily, who adds that TLA Entertainment has taken UK and Ireland.
“The erotic Argentine thriller sees The Care Of Others star Sofia Gala Castiglione lead as a woman who finds her albino lover unconscious and pregnant in hospital. She then receives a text from a mysterious man, leading her on a risky journey into the world of sadism and masochism in Buenos Aires.”
Director Lucia Vassallo‘s previous work includes documentary Transoceánicas, notes the site.
Exquisite Corpse was produced by Facundo Escudero Salinas and Nicolas Munzel Camano of Pensilvania Films, who introduced the project to Jinga’s CEO, Julian Richards, during the Blood Window genre programme at Buenos Aires-based market Ventana Sur.
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.
