CONFIRMED: Brad Anderson Takes on ‘Vanishing on 7th Street’
Updated casting inside. Some interesting news came into us this morning that when we called to confirm, sounded like it was a hot project. As I await an official confirmation call, we learned that Brad Anderson is currently developing his next project Vanishing on 7th Street, which reminds me of the Dean Koontz book “Phantoms”. Read on for the skinny and to see who is attached to star!
Previously titled “THE DARKNESS”, VANISHING ON 7TH STREET is an apocalyptic thriller/horror about a group of people who must avoid darkness to stay alive.
Updated 12:23pm John Leguizamo (The Happening, Land of the Dead) and Thandie Newton (2012) are confirmed casting, while Timothy Olyphant (The Crazies, The Perfect Getaway) and Forest Whitaker (Repossession Mambo) were previously attached.
Here’s the official plot crunch: Following a mysterious blackout, most of the population vanishes into thin air. As the remaining survivors converge in a small tavern to figure out what happened, the darkness returns to claim them one by one.

One night. One house. One horrifying experience. Nothing stays buried forever in Bury the Devil, a real-time exorcism movie told in a single, continuous take.
We’re exclusively unveiling the new trailer and key art for the real-time nightmare below, ahead of the film’s release in select theaters and VOD on August 21.
Adam O’Brien (Mom) directs from a script by John Petrizzi and Brad Hodson.
When nurse Julia finds herself trapped inside the home of her dementia patient, she begins to suspect things are not what they seem; something demonic is seeping through the cracks of this old home. Trapped and with nowhere to turn, Julia soon finds herself in battle to rid the house of this evil before it is too late.
Dawn Ford, Emmanuelle Lussier Martinez, Bill Rowat, and Mark Antony Krupa star.
“This film depicts the most harrowing 90 minutes of our protagonist’s life, and I felt that the most visceral way to really feel this was to do a single-shot film,” O’Brien previously teased. “We are with her every step and misstep she takes – through the unraveling of the mystery to the horror of her discovery. It’s a fun, twisty roller-coaster ride that puts a new spin on exorcisms.”
Bury the Devil is the first installment in a planned trilogy. The prequel, Bury the Devil: Origin, is already in development with O’Brien returning to the helm.
O’Brien produces along with Philip Kalin-Hajdu (The Sacrifice Game) and Benoit Beaulieu (Turbo Kid).
