First up is a psychological thriller entitled RECALL from director Harold Becker, which is about a chance meeting between a man and a woman that causes the man to doubt his sanity. Sounds cool to me! Most women I meet make me doubt my sanity too, so I can definitely understand where this flick is coming from!
But that’s not the exciting ‘legend’ news I was talking about. Also on their plate is H.P. Lovercraft’s THE THING ON THE DOORSTEP, from director Stuart Gordon! The man who brought us Lovercraft’s RE-ANIMATOR is gearing up for another dip into the craft- DOORSTEP is already in pre-production! Though no stars are attached to the project yet, it’s only a matter of time before we hear more on this one.
Finally, it was mentioned that a movie adaptation of an unsaid horror novel could also be in the works for Amicus, with director Tobe Hooper in talks to direct! Let’s hope it’s the TCM Tobe, and not MORTUARY Tobe, as I don’t think anyone wants to see more of that.
Pretty exciting news on the Gordon/Hooper front, as it’s always exciting to check out what those kats are up to. Stick around for more info on DOORSTEP as we hear it, and be sure to watch out for Gordon’s STUCK, starring Stephen Rea and Mena Suvari, which recently wrapped production.
