The
man behind the original THE HITCHER and the original
NEAR DARK (yeah, word on the street is that they’re remaking that
film as well) and part-time columnist on our very own Arrow
in the Head, Eric Red, is hard at work on his next directing gig
entitled 100 FEET, which he also wrote (the Arrow read it and said
that it was some good shit). The film just cast its lead honey-bunny
in the name of one Famke Janssen, which ain’t too shabby, if I say
so myself. Go Jean Grey!! Mr. Red made this announcement on ARROW,
on which he also said that he would start shooting the film in April
of this year in both New York and then Hungary. What’s the film
about?
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.
