Anchor Bay Films Sets October Date for ‘Texas Killing Fields’
An official date is in as Anchor Bay Films will release Ami Canaan Mann’s Texas Killing Fields in limited theaters on October 7. No word on VOD or DVD/Blu-ray dates at the moment.
Directed by Ami Canaan Mann, daughter of acclaimed Director Michael Mann, the thriller is inspired by true events and “follows a local homicide detective (Sam Worthington) in a small Texan town and his partner, a transplanted cop from New York City (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims’ mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call ‘The Killing Fields.’
The killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When a familiar local girl, Anne (Chloe Grace Moretz) goes missing the detectives find themselves in a race against time to find the killer and save her life.”
From LAIKA (Coraline, ParaNorman), the stop-motion fantasy adventure Wildwood opens in theaters on October 23 via Fathom Entertainment, and a new poster has arrived.
Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings, Masters of the Universe) directs from a script by Chris Butler (ParaNorman, Masters of the Universe), based on the 2011 children’s novel written by The Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy and illustrated by his wife, Carson Ellis.
In the upcoming Wildwood, “After her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows, headstrong teenager Prue McKeel launches a desperate rescue mission into the Impassable Wilderness—an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon.
“Joined by her hapless but loyal classmate Curtis Mehlberg, Prue navigates a world of talking animals, bandits, and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition.
“As the pair is drawn into a conflict threatening the balance of the forest itself, Prue must discover the strength and belief she never knew she possessed. If she hopes to save her brother and protect Wildwood’s fragile future, she will have to risk everything.”
The voice cast includes Carey Mulligan, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Richard E. Grant, Awkwafina, Amandla Stenberg, Tom Waits, Charlie Day, Blythe Danner, Arthur Knight, Maya Erskine, Jake Johnson, Tantoo Cardinal, Rob Delaney, Jemaine Clement, Marc Evan Jackson, Len Cariou, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Angela Bassett, and Mahershala Ali.
Described as “a sweeping adventure about love, sacrifice, and the magic that reveals itself when we dare to look beyond the familiar,” Wildwood is produced by Knight and Sam Wilson.
