Want ‘Frozen’ to Play in a Theater Near You? Here’s How
I received quite a few e-mails from readers asking when they’ll get a chance to see Adam Green’s chiller Frozen in a theater near them. The answer? I dunno. Well, at least until now. Apparently, Anchor Bay is claiming they’ll program the film in any theater that requests it, which means it’s once again up to you to tell your theaters you want it (why do we always have to do all the work?). Below you can read the offiical release sent to us with information on how YOU can demand it.
Writer/Director Adam Green writes in:
“Thanks to everyone who supported FROZEN this past weekend. The reviews and reactions are beyond anything we could have hoped for and despite the blizzards and the Super Bowl- you guys still made it out to the theater to support something original. However, many of you did NOT get FROZEN in your favorite theater on it’s opening weekend due to it’s small and limited release.
Now you can change that!
In response to how amazing the early reactions and glowing reviews have been for FROZEN, Anchor Bay has now agreed to send a print of the film to any theater that requests it. The power is in YOUR hands to get FROZEN playing at a theater near you! All you have to do is speak to your theater’s manager and make sure that he/she knows how much you want FROZEN playing in your favorite theater. All they need to do is request a print from Anchor Bay- and you’ll be on your way to getting FROZEN. Have your theater contact “frozen@starz.com” to make the request.
Remember, the theater manager needs to make the request from Anchor Bay. If you want to write in to that email address and tell Anchor Bay that you want FROZEN, tell them what you think of their limited release strategy, or tell them why the world needs more original genre films supported in theaters- by all means- be my guest. But that won’t get a print shipped to your theater. It is the theater manager that can get the print for you. Don’t take NO for an answer from your theater! Did they tell you there is no room on their screens because this week’s remake is taking up all of them? Don’t stand for that! Tell them how you feel and make sure that they contact Anchor Bay Films for their own print of FROZEN. Don’t be passive and give up. We’re onto something here and it is WORKING! You complain that these original genre films always get damned to unsupported limited releases and all you get is remakes each week… well here’s our chance to change the tide. Let your theaters hear your voices! Let Anchor Bay know you want this and appreciate original genre films!
The time is now. Get FROZEN in your theater! Your voices have already has made a huge difference. Keep it up and let’s get this film everywhere.”

‘The Exorcism’ Trailer – Russell Crowe Gets Possessed in Meta Horror Movie from Producer Kevin Williamson
Russell Crowe (The Pope’s Exorcist) is starring in a brand new meta possession horror movie titled The Exorcism, and Vertical has unleashed the official trailer this afternoon.
Vertical has picked up the North American rights to The Exorcism, which they’ll be bringing to theaters on June 7. Shudder is also on board to bring the film home later this year.
Joshua John Miller, who wrote 2015’s The Final Girls and also starred in films including Near Dark and And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird, directed The Exorcism.
Joshua John Miller also wrote the script with M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls). This one is personal for Miller, as his late father was the star of the best possession movie ever made.
Miller said in a statement this week, “The origins of the film stem from my childhood spent watching my father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras flinging himself out a window at the climax of The Exorcist. If that wasn’t haunting enough on its own, my dad never shied away from telling me stories of just how “cursed” the movie was: the mysterious fires that plagued the production, the strange deaths, the lifelong injuries— the list went on and on. The lore of any “cursed film” has captivated me ever since.”
“With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula (“Heroic man rescues woman from forces she’s too weak and simple to battle herself!”) for a world where no one group owns goodness and decency over another,” he adds. “We were gifted with an extraordinary cast and creative team to tell a story about how we’re all vulnerable to darkness, to perpetuating it, if we fail to face our demons. The devil may retaliate, but what other choice do we have?”
The film had previously been announced under the title The Georgetown Project.
“The Exorcism follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.”
Sam Worthington (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chloe Bailey (Praise This), Adam Goldberg (The Equalizer) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) also star.
Of particular note, Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) produced The Exorcism.
