Out of Body Experience With ‘Silver Cord’
Here’s an interesting new film that had me digging for more info on Google. Handpicked Films and Tayrona Entertainment have signed Shane West (Stone House, The Lodger), Cam Gigandet (The Unborn, Twilight), Val Kilmer (Top Gun, The Doors), Arielle Kebbel (The Grudge 2, Freakdog) and Eric Balfour (Hell Ride, Texas Chainsaw Massacre) to star in James Ordonez’s Silver Cord, which was written by Ordonez and Ken Gord. The synopsis given was that the story centers on Ordonez’s brother who came back to life after being declared clinically dead on multiple occasions. The brother died in 2004. But we needed to know more, and apparently the film heads in a totally different direction, read on for the full synopsis.
The story of a young man who is separated from the love of his life. To find her he has an Out of Body Experience but the silver cord that connects his soul with his body breaks and he is believed to be dead. In a desperate race against time his friends have less than 24 hours to save his soul before his body is cremated.
The indie feature’s aiming at a September start and has obtained a SAG waiver.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
