‘Red Machine’ Writer Will Battle The ‘Tick-Tock Man’
Bloody Disgusting has learned that Dwight H. Little (Halloween 4, Murder at 1600 and Executive Producer of Broken Arrow) has been attached to direct Tick-Tock Man from a screenplay by Red Machine‘s Jack Reher.
Reher’s script is described as: “A smart, twisty, elevated psychological thriller – ‘Tick-Tock Man’ follows the case of a forensic profiler who goes simply by the name, GHOST. Ghost is hunting a serial killer with a rare DNA in hopes of saving his son who will die in a few days time without a heart transplant. Racing against time, and promised a new heart for his son…Ghost must capture this killer and turn him over alive, not to the authorities, but to a black market organ broker that goes by the name “The Tick-Tock Man”.”
Red Machine, directed by Saw V‘s David Hackl, and starring James Marsden, Thomas Jane and Billy Bob Thornton, is now in post-production.
A bedtime lullaby soothes an unsettling newborn in our exclusive clip from Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
The dark fable makes its debut on Shudder on July 31.
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star as new parents in Nightborn, and this exclusive clip highlights mom’s harrowing transition into motherhood.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson also star.
Bergholm teased of her maternal horror movie, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
