ScreenDaily writes that former Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe, pictured, has been cast to star in Dennis Bartok’s English-language horror P.O.V., being sold by Fortissimo Films out of Cannes.
“P.O.V. follows the story of Dana Milgrom (Marlohe), a track coach who, having survived a near-death car accident, finds herself completely paralysed and trapped inside her own body.
While recovering she becomes convinced that an evil presence exists inside her hospital room and is intent on killing her. Believing her to be experiencing a mental breakdown, Dana’s family brush away her concerns.
Becoming increasingly terrified, Dana soon realises that she may not be the only target. Unable to leave her bed, she risks losing the ones she cares for most.”
Casting is currently underway for Bartok’s directorial debut, which will shoot in Ireland and various locations around the UK.
The film, currently in pre-production, is due to commence principal photography in Q3, 2015, for an early 2016 debut.
Brendan McCarthy and John McDonnell will produce through their Ireland-based, horror production outfit Fantastic Films along with Jan Doense and Herman Slagter of The Netherlands-based, genre-specific, House of Netherhorror.
