Via a press release, we learn that production has commenced this past weekend on the newest film from Potent Media, DEER CROSSING. Flick is set to feature Doug “Pinhead” Bradley and Michael Madsen in supporting roles as it gets rolling in Pennsylvania.
Starring Christopher Mann (HBO’S “The Wire”, “Michael Clayton”) and Laura Lynn Cottrel (“The Replacements”, “Booley”), the film centers around retired police detective Derrick Stanswood (Mann), who is called by a successful doctor about an unsolved case involving his wife Maggy (Cottrel) and their son, Cole (newcomer Kevin Fennell). Chasing after loose ends in a backward rural town, Derrick has no idea that Maggy has been held captive for the past eight years by farmer Lukas Walton (K.J. Linhein, “Jebediah”), who is raising Cole as his own son in a wrongful world that holds its own horrors.
The film is being produced by John Michael Kent, and the director/screenwriter/composer of the film is Christian Jude Grillo. The latter had this to say: “I wanted to tell a story too dangerous for Hollywood to tell. Mainstream horror films are too safe, hence why people are not as entertained by them as they were in the heyday of horror.”
DEER CROSSING is eyeing a 2012 release.
