New Title and Art for London Slasher ‘Demons Never Die’
It was announced back in March that Golden Globe Nominee Idris Elba (“The Wire,” 28 Weeks Later, RocknRolla) was producing Suicide Kids, which is set against a gritty London backdrop, a terrifying urban horror written and directed by one of the UK’s most exciting new filmmakers, Arjun Rose (Diversity 3-D, Swift). The new title of the film is Demons Never Die, and a new sales one sheet has been released.
“When Amba (N*Dubs star Tulisa Contostavlos) takes her own life, Archie Eden (Robert Sheehan – Misfits, Cherrybomb) and seven other depressed London teenagers decide to follow her lead and create a suicide pact. As the group begins to die one by one, Archie realises they have all become the target of a masked killer and that his own commitment to death has become a terrifying fight for survival and a battle to protect the girl he loves, but who is the killer?”
The genre busting cast includes British Independent Film Award winnner Ashley Walters (Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Stormbreaker, Bullet Boy), Andrew Ellis (This is England), Arnold Oceng (Adulthood, 4,3,2,1), Jacob Anderson (Chatroom, 4,3,2,1), Reggie Yates (Doctor Who), Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks), Femi Oyineran (Kidulthood, Adulthood, Annuvahood), Jack Doolon (Cemetery Junction), Peter Baladi (Streetdance 3-D, The International, The Office) Jason Maza (Fish Tank, Shifty), Jennie Jacques (Cherry Tree Lane, Shank), and Shanika Warren-Markland (Adulthood, 4,3,2,1).
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
