Writer/director J.T. Petty (THE BURROWERS, MIMIC: SENTINEL) just entered production on his latest effort, HELLBENDERS. GeekTyrant scored a look at some photos from the first day on set on; check ’em out. The genre-bending film is described as a mash-up of THE HANGOVER and THE EXORCIST. Here’s the plot:
The movie is about a secret group of elite demonologists in a Brooklyn diocese who battle a terrifying supernatural force that threatens their lives and faith.
The 3D picture is based on a graphic novel by Petty himself. Clifton Collins Jr. (STAR TREK), Clancy Brown (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) and Dan Fogler (FAN BOYS) star. Lawrence Mattis of Circle of Confusion (“THE WALKING DEAD“) is among the producers. Filming continues in Brooklyn, NY.
