Just a few days ago I was right here telling you all about a post-apocalyptic thriller heading our way called THE DAY. You guys remember that? Come on… it was only last week! Too much weed and alcohol, eh?
Well anyway it seems THE DAY is a pretty solid flick because not only did WWE Studios snatch that shite up hours after it’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival but THE DAY’s crew are already getting more job offers! What am I getting at? Check it:
According to Screen Daily Guy Danella, who produced THE DAY, and Luke Passmore, who penned that shite, have already got another project lined up for Gold Circle Films! Said project is a big-screen adaptation of Jack Kilborn’s horror/action novel AFRAID. Hell I’m digging this thing already on the title alone! But just in case you weren’t sold on the subtly awesome title here’s the rundown:
The US government spends billions of dollars training soldiers to kill. Now they’re attempting an alternative approach. Instead of turning soldiers into killers, the military has trained five psychopathic murderers to be part of a classified Special Forces unit.
Codename: Red-Ops
They are the most fearsome weapon ever created, meant to be dropped behind enemy lines. Their goals: Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate. Five Hannibal Lectors with Rambo training. But something horrible has happened…
Welcome to Safe Haven, Population 907
A tiny community of families, retirees, and artists, nestled between Big Lake and Little Lake MacDonald in the northwoods. One road in, one road out, thirty miles away from everything. A town so small and peaceful they don’t even have a full time police force.
Hell has come to Safe Haven
On their way to a mission, the Red Ops helicopter has crashed just outside of town. The team is now roaming free in the wilderness, heading for the nearest lights. Heading there to do what they do best.
Soon the phone lines are cut, the cell phones jammed, and the road blocked. Safe Haven’s only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county Sheriff. And as the body count rises, he’s quickly realizing something terrifying—maybe the Red Ops haven’t come to his small town by accident…
Safe Haven, Wisconsin. Population 907. . . 906. . . 905. . .
Are you afraid of the dark? You should be. You will be.
Sounds pretty cool to me! Unfortunately that’s about all we’ve got on this one right now but you can bet as soon as more news on AFRAID comes spilling our way we’ll be passing it right along to all of you.
