Parent, McCain, Gray & Robinson join ‘Breath of Hate’
Monique Parent (“Play Time”), Elske McCain (“Jessicka Rabid”), Ricardo Gray (“Easter Bunny Kill! Kill!”) and Trista Robinson are set to star in the Velvet Hammer Films/ArsonCuff Entertainment production of Breath of Hate! You can get all the details beyond the break.
Directed by Sean Cain (“Silent Night, Zombie Night”) and starring Ezra Buzzington (“Halloween 2”), “Breath” centers around a young woman in the escort business, who on her last job is confronted by a trio of escaped mental patients looking to change the world; one victim at a time.
“I like a part that scares me. If my first instinctive reaction is, ‘I can’t DO that’, that’s when I know it’s the right part for me.” Parent says. “Selma forces me to look into the darkest places that I have and that scares the crap out of me. Scared shitless is a good place to work from.”
“Playing Hailey is like a vacation for me.” states McCain tapped as the laid back escort. “Unlike my film, ‘Jessicka Rabid’ I don’t get locked in a cage or have to kill anyone!” Gray and Robinson round out the cast as the maniacal dinosaur loving Cleb and underage Lolita-like Tabbi.
“Breath” begins filming in late summer. This is the second production out of Wes Laurie’s ArsonCuff Entertainment and Sean Cain’s Velvet Hammer Films who are currently finishing post-production on “Silent Night, Zombie Night.”
Recent comments from producer Jason Blum suggested that a retool was in order when last year’s The Exorcist: Believer wasn’t as successful as Blumhouse and Universal hoped. That certainly seems to be the case, as Deadline reports tonight that Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct the next Exorcist movie.
Director David Gordon Green was initially on board to direct an entire trilogy of new movies in the franchise, with The Exorcist: Believer intended to be only the first film in that three-film sequel series. Originally set to hit theaters on April 18, 2025, sequel The Exorcist: Deceiver was delayed when Green left the project.
If talks come to fruition, Flanagan will take over, likely steering the franchise in a new direction.
The first film in the trilogy was released theatrically on October 13, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. starring alongside a returning Ellen Burstyn from the original classic.
In Believer, “Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom, Jr.) has raised their daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) on his own.
“But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum) disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before.”
The final moments of The Exorcist: Believer brought Linda Blair’s Regan MacNeil back into the fold, seeming to suggest that the legacy character could return in future installments.
As for Flanagan, the horror filmmaker has Life of Chuck on the way. Flanagan previously helmed Stephen King adaptations Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game, and he’s also known for titles including Ouija: Origin of Evil and Oculus, along with the Netflix horror shows The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Fall of the House of Usher.
