Writer/director J.T. Petty’s (THE BURROWERS, MIMIC: SENTINEL, S&MAN) forthcoming HELLBENDERS won’t even be out until next year, but he’s already preparing for his next film. Variety reports that Petty will helm HAUNTED TEMPLE.
The picture is heading into production this fall in Japan, making it one of Hollywood’s first features to shoot there since the tragic earthquake and tsunami that struck in March. While plot details are being kept under wraps, the movie is described as “a Japanese-style horror feature reminiscent of THE RING and THE GRUDGE.”
Industrial Entertainment’s Eric Bassett, Macari/Edelstein Filmed Entertainment’s Mike Macari and Neal Edelstein and Japanese producer Shinya Egawa are producing. Image is currently selling the rights at Cannes.
THE RING star Naomi Watts
