BDTV: ‘Plague Town’ Trailer, Website and Dates
Dark Sky Films has been making a major impact on the horror industry as they’ve begin their own original productions, which are slated for limited releases before arriving on DVD. Their first original production, Plague Town, tells the tale of a dysfunctional family’s vacation to the Irish countryside that encounters a village of diseased, deformed and decidedly homicidal residents. This morning we learned that the film’s official website has gone live, with the first trailer being added to BDTV. In addition, inside you’ll find a list of some upcoming screenings for the film – some outside of the US. Watch for this release here in the States come 2009.

Avengers: Doomsday and Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai actor Simu Liu is joining Allison Williams (M3GAN) and Michelle Randolph (Scream 7) on the sci-fi survival thriller Homewrecker, Deadline reports today.
Production is set to begin next month in Paris, France.
In Homewrecker, “During a heart-breaking domestic revelation, three star-crossed Americans are suddenly forced to work together to survive a terrifying unexplained global event that threatens to destroy life as they know it.”
Xavier Gens (Under Paris, Frontier(s)) will direct from a script by Elisa Bell (Vegas Vacation) and Travis Gordon, which has been likened in spirit to 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Producers include Denise Di Novi, Margaret French Isaac, & Oliver Scherick for Di Novo Pictures (Practical Magic) and John Zois & Warren Goz for Parallel 42 Entertainment.
Williams will executive produce alongside Michael Rothstein & Samuel Hall for North.Five.Six, which is launching sales at next week’s Cannes film market. CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group co-rep domestic rights.
