UPDATE: Anchor Bay Acquires ‘After.Life’, a New Thriller Starring a Nude Christina Ricci!
Update: Anchor Bay has locked an April 9 limited release. Anchor Bay Films has acquired Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo’s After.Life, which premiered at the AFM market this past November. The story chronicles a young woman in a transitional state between life and death who fights to avoid being buried alive and the funeral director who holds her fate in his hands. Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson, Alfred Molina, Justin Long, Josh Charles and Chandler Canterbury all star. The film was recently rated “R” “for nudity, disturbing images, language and brief sexuality.”
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
