Here’s A Trailer for That ‘Fatal Frame’ Movie

Unfortunately, it’s entirely in Japanese. This Fatal Frame will release exclusively in Japan (For those keeping count, between this and Fatal Frame IV, that’s Japan – 2, Rest of the World – 0) and star Seventeen magazine models Nakajo Ayami and Morikawa Aoi.

The film is based on the novel adaptation of the original game — or an adaptation of an adaptation, also known as ‘Fatal Frame-ception’ BAAAWWW (that was my phonetic interpretation of the Inception trailer sound) — and will be set in a dormitory where students start going missing. I do believe there’s something supernatural afoot…

Before you get too bummed out about its Japan exclusivity, you should know that this is one of two upcoming Fatal Frame films. The second will release some time after the new game that was announced a few months back.

The second live-action film is being handled by the fine folks in Hollywood, so we’ll eventually be getting our much-needed dose of spirit chicanery, we only need to be patient.

Between these two films, the upcoming game, and the new Zero manga, it seems as if the long-dormant Fatal Frame franchise will see a substantial resurgence in the very near future. Who’s excited?

Daughter of late director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead), Tina Romero is directing a zombie movie of her own with Queens of the Dead, Deadline reports today.

Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding), Margaret Cho (Fire Island), Brigette Lundy-Paine (I Saw The TV Glow) and Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story) are set to star.

Deadline details, “The film pays tribute to the zombies from the elder Romero’s classic zombie films with a fresh, contemporary, and queer twist, promising to offer a genre-smashing, glam-gore thrill ride through the zombie apocalypse.

“The story follows an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies who must put aside their personal dramas and use their unique skills to combat the brain-thirsty undead when a zombie apocalypse breaks out during their drag show in Brooklyn.”

Nina West (Rupaul’s Drag Race), Jaquel Spivey (Mean Girls), Tomas Matos (Fire Island), Quincy Dunn-Baker (No Hard Feelings), Becca Blackwell (Bros), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther), Dominique Jackson (Pose), Riki Lindhome (Knives Out), and Eve Lindley (Bros) will also star.

Tina Romero said, “This is the cast of my wildest dreams. In a movie about survival, you gotta love and root for the survival crew. Every single person in this ensemble brings such a special and specific flavor -both on and off screen. The result is truly a magic sauce.”

Erin Judge & Tina Romero wrote the horror-comedy’s screenplay.
