‘American Psycho’ Director Mary Harron’s Next a Film About Hobo Vampire Junkies
Mary Harron, who directed the timeless American Psycho, is returning to the genre with a feature adaptation of The Orange Eats Creeps, writes ScreenDaily. Harron and her writer partner Guinevere Turner, who unveiled their controversial new Charles Manson film Charlie Says in Venice last week, are working together on the new project.
The Orange Eats Creeps is an adaptation of Grace Krilanovich’s cult novel of the same name, about a group of feral homeless teenagers, although the Amazon synopsis described them as “a band of hobo vampire junkies.”
“It’s a very underground, experimental novel that I thought was interesting,” Harron said of the project. “Young people travelling around the northeast [of America], living around the highways.”
The project is being developed and produced through New York’s Greencard Pictures and marks the latest collaboration between Harron and Turner after American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page and Charlie Says.
Harron is planning The Orange Eats Creeps as her next feature as a director following her Salvador Dali project, Dali Land, which will star Ben Kingsley as Dali and Lesley Manville as his wife Gala and which is due to shoot in spring next year.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
