Celebrate The 90th Anniversary Of ‘The Phantom Of The Opera’
At this year’s annual Mile High Film Festival, a special event will take place to celebrate the achievements of Lon Chaney Sr. and Lon Chaney Jr. Great grandson/grandson (respectively) Ron Chaney, who has starred in films such as Coffin Baby and The House Of Wolf Man, will be on hand to accept the two Lifetime Achievement Awards for these two actors, who have portrayed characters such as the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Wolf Man, Dracula, the Mummy, and much more.
After the awards are presented, there will be a special screening of The Phantom Of The Opera with live musical accompaniment from festival veteran Paul Buscarello.
This year’s festival takes place Oct. 1-4 at the Alamo Drafthouse in Littleton, Colorado. More information can be found at the official website.
Jennifer Holland (“Peacemaker”) and Dave Annable (“Lioness”) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural Civil War thriller Brine, Deadline reports this afternoon.
B.J. Golnick (“Hunting Hitler”) will be directing Brine.
Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands.
When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.
Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls), and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks) also star. The screenplay was written by B.J. Golnick and Jeremy Miller.
“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick previews.
“We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”
