Excl: Red's 100 Feet
Nov. 4, 2006
Yesterday the Hollywood Reporter put out that Grand Illusions Entertainment along with financing partner David Steiner will be producing ERIC RED's (Stopping Power) next feature, a supernatural horror/thriller called 100 FEET, one that he wrote and will be directing. Being that Eric is a friend of the site and contributes on it via his badass Eric Red Recommends column, AITH got a little bit more juice than that just that.
Here's the first look at the Synopsis: A young woman, Marnie Watson, is granted early release from her prison sentence for manslaughter (killing her husband – a violent NYC cop – in self defense) on condition she wear an electronic ankle bracelet and remain within her home, effectively under house arrest, for the remainder of her sentence.
Her late husband’s partner keeps tabs on her from a patrol car parked across the street, hoping she’ll violate probation and he can send her back to prison. But the 100-foot radius her ankle bracelet allows isn’t the worst of her problems. Her dead husband --now a malevolent ghost--is still in the house, where he died -- intent on savage revenge.
Finally Eric Red had this to say exclusively to AITH about the project and its status: “This is an elevated, old school and classical supernatural thriller that relies on suspense, character and suggestion. But it will also have also horrific scenes of visceral horror. We are in pre production, currently completing casting and scheduled to begin filming in Hungary in early 2007.”
With Stopping Power, 100 Feet and (unwanted by me) remakes of the Red scripted genre classics The Hitcher and Near Dark on the way; looks like it will be a Red filled 2007!
Congrats on 100 FEET and cie my man, this glass of JD is for you...CHEERS! Gulp...Gulp...
ACTION!!!!
