According to Deadline, Bold Films has just bought the rights to John Swetnam’s spec script titled EVIDENCE, which the first timer will also direct. While it’s not an out-and-out horror joint, the flick covers enough dark material and has enough genre conventions to warrant some love here AITH. Scope it…
Police arrive at an abandoned gas station following a brutal massacre. The only evidence at the crime scene is the victims’ personal electronic devices, including a camcorder, flip Cam, and two cell phones. With nothing else to go on, a detective must analyze the bits of “found footage” to piece together the identity of the killer.
Sounds pretty promising, don’t ya think? Found footage flicks are always dicey, but this one seems to have an angle inherent to the story, so it may work wonders. Hopefully this guy Swetnam knows what the hell he’s doing…
EVIDENCE was the first spec sold in a number of scripts that went out to studios last week. Stay tuned for more news on those as we scrape it…
