Director Neil Marshall's take on HELLBOY was just released on DVD and Blu-ray today – that's the witch Baba Yaga from HELLBOY pictured above, and you can pick up a copy of the DVD/Blu at THIS LINK. As copies of that film reach store shelves Marshall is already in production on his next movie, THE RECKONING.
When we first heard about THE RECKONING back in October, the project was set to be the inaugural production for MoviePass Films. MoviePass's option lapsed when funding couldn't be acquired, so the project is now coming to us from the Highland Film Group.
Scripted by Marshall, Edward Evers-Swindell, and star Charlotte Kirk, THE RECKONING is set in England in 1665,
against the backdrop of the Great Plague and subsequent Witch-Hunts against women. Grace Haverstock must grapple with the tragic untimely death of her husband Joseph in a society completely consumed by fear and death. Because she rejects her landlord Squire Pendleton’s advances, she is falsely accused of being a witch and thrown in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. Grace must endure physical persecution at the hands of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter Judge Moorcroft and face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.
Kirk's co-stars include Matt Ryan, Ian White, and Emma Holzer.
The film is being produced by Steffen Wild and Daniel Konrad-Cooper.
THE RECKONING was originally expected to film in Wales, then plans shifted to Puerto Rico. If recent Instagram posts of Kirk riding 1665 appropriate transportation are any indication, Hungary may have ended up being the location.
