Yesterday the Hollywood
Reporter put out that Grand
Illusions Entertainment along with financing partner David Steiner
will be producing ERIC
RED’s
(Stopping Power) next feature, a supernatural
horror/thriller called
100
FEET,
one that he wrote and will be directing. Being that Eric is a friend of the site
and contributes on it via his badass Eric
Red Recommends
column, AITH got a little bit more juice than that just that.
Here’s
the first look at the Synopsis:
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.
Finally
Eric Red had this to say exclusively to AITH about the project and its status:
“This
is an elevated, old school and classical supernatural thriller that relies on
suspense, character and suggestion. But it will also have also horrific
scenes of visceral horror. We are in pre production, currently completing
casting and scheduled to begin filming in Hungary in early 2007.”
With
Stopping Power, 100 Feet and (unwanted by me) remakes of the Red
scripted genre classics The
Hitcher
and
Near
Dark
on
the way; looks like it will be a Red filled 2007!
Congrats
on 100 FEET and cie my man, this glass of JD is for you…CHEERS! Gulp…Gulp…
ACTION!!!!
