As you should know writer/director and AITH alumni ERIC
RED (BODY
PARTS, COHEN AND TATE) has been gearing up for his next
genre vice-grip, the supernatural thriller 100 FEET.
The script is a character driven piece, and the proper casting in terms of the
female lead was, if you ask me; crucial. Well Mr. Red and his production team over at Grand
Illusions just locked their lead dame, and I’m elated to report that its a
bang-on choice. Mr. Red you got the floor!

RED SAYS: “We’ve been fortunate to cast
Famke Janssen (“X-MEN,” “GOLDENEYE”) in the role of Marnie.
Famke is a beautiful actress of
great
presence and intelligence, completely dedicated to the realism of character and
performance.
With Famke’s timeless beauty, she will bring glamour and star power
to the role of Marnie, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn in the classic “WAIT
UNTIL DARK.” I’m certain the audience will adore watching her. I’m
incredibly excited. Nobody could play the part better!”
So there you have it, a great gal for in my opinion, a badass script! 100 FEET is slated to start shooting this coming
April in Brooklyn, New York and Budapest, Hungary. Here’s the Synopsis for those
who didn’t catch it.
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.
Congrats Red Man! This glass of JD is
for you! Cheers! Gulp, gulp!
