‘The Lazarus Effect’ Trailer Resurrects…Hell?!
Earlier we shared the first ever image of Olivia Wilde in Relativity Studios’ newly titled The Lazarus Effect, which now hits theaters on February 27, 2015.
Now, in addition to the film’s first poster, we have your first look at the trailer that’s ben playing ahead of The Woman In Black 2.
From what I gathered, the Flatliners-esque film begins when Mark Duplass (Creep) resurrects Wilde in sort of a throwback to Pet Sematary. Only, in a very Event Horizon-like scene, it appears that Wilde’s character is brought back from Hell, and brings along everyone’s own personal demons. It looks pretty cool, and was penned by hot up-and-coming writer Jeremy Slater.
Evan Peters and Donald Glover also star in the pic “about a group of medical students who discover a way to bring dead patients back to life.”
David Gelb directs.
Maika Monroe (Longlegs) isn’t the only one reuniting with It Follows director David Robert Mitchell on the sequel They Follow. The filmmaker revealed key collaborators are also joining the project.
Speaking with Empire, Mitchell confirmed that multiple crew members are returning for the sequel, and that it’ll feature a new score from Disasterpeace!
“Maika is back for this, and [cinematographer] Mike [Gioulakis], and the editor, Julio [C. Perez IV],” Mitchell told the outlet. “Disasterpeace will be doing a score.“
That’s great news, considering how impactful the artist’s score was on the original 2014 film. Mitchell agrees: “I wouldn’t want to do a sequel without him. That first movie is so much to do with his fantastic music, so I’m excited about seeing what he does with this.”
The filmmaker notes that he’s also proud of his script for They Follow, which will do its own thing while still being connected to the original film. Of course, plot details remain scarce at this time.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) is reportedly joining the sequel.
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
