Trailer for ‘Memento Mori’ Recalls Attack That Led to Coma
Memento Mori, which premiered at the Bruxelles International Fantastic Film Festival and was introduced on the market of Cannes by the international sales agency EuroObscura, now has an official trailer.
Memento Mori is a psychological thriller focusing on a teenage girl in a coma as she relives the events that led to her trauma.
Memento Mori is the first feature movie helmed by Michael Vermaercke, a young filmmaker from Flanders who has directed various short movies, the latest of which, The Disturber, won the first prize at the International Vampire Film Festival in Transylvania in 2016.
In the words of the director, “the film is about the fears and insecurities” of teenagers who are about to enter adulthood.
Produced by Piet Sonck for the independent production company Gypsy Productions, the movie centers around the character of Fleur (lead actress Charlotte De Wulf), a teenager whose life seems perfect: beautiful, popular, rich. Yet she has a dark secret which is revealed during a pool party, where a violent incident happens that will end with her in a coma.
The title comes from the Latin sentence meaning “remember you will die,” a reference to the condition of teenagers who are enjoying a promiscuous and vital life while approaching the end of adolescence.
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.”
