‘In Flames’ First Look – Pakistani Horror Movie Will Haunt the Festival Circuit in 2023
XYZ Films will handle North American sales rights on the upcoming In Flames, Variety reports this morning, with the website also sharing the first-look image from the movie up above.
In the Pakistani horror movie from writer/director Zarrar Kahn…
“After the death of the family patriarch, a mother and daughter’s precarious existence is ripped apart by figures from their past – both real and phantasmal. They must find strength in each other if they are to survive the malevolent forces that threaten to engulf them.”
Variety notes that In Flames is a Canada-Pakistan co-production with support from Telefilm Canada. Production companies include CityLights Media, Other Memory Media and Fae Pictures.
Kahn said in a statement, “We’re thrilled to partner with XYZ films in bringing In Flames to audiences. Our goal was to create a film that speaks to the international potential of Pakistani genre cinema, and it is a huge honor to be the first South Asian film in their slate. XYZ has a rich history of championing the best of global genre, and we cannot imagine a better home for our Pakistani genre-defying horror film.”
“XYZ is thrilled to be working with Zarrar and his brilliant team of producers to bring In Flames to audiences. He’s a powerful talent, someone we think is a truly generational voice from Pakistan, and his feature debut is powerful, haunting stuff. We knew we had to be involved from the moment we first looked at the script and couldn’t be happier they’ve welcomed us to be part of the team,” XYZ’s Todd Brown said in a statement of his own.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
