Uniting two of Spain’s biggest genre talents, [REC] co-director Paco Plaza will helm Damned Friday (Maldito Viernes), with Adrian Guerra producing, says Variety.
Leticia Dolera, pictured above, the chainsaw-wielding bride of [REC 3]: Genesis, plays a young woman who struggles with her family and boyfriend before becoming a vampire.
It’s very reminiscent of the coming-of-age horror from the 1980’s…
Friday is a “ Black Swan-style drama applied to the vampire genre with a really strong central female character taking the audience on a gritty, emotional roller coaster,” Guerra said.
Pic will be a Spanish-language film shot in color. It marks Guerra’s first non-English-language production.
Friday begins filming in Spain in July from Guerra’s Barcelona-based Nostromo Pictures. Film Factory will unveil the screenplay and design at Berlin.
