Kaleidoscope: Eileen Dietz, Eric Roberts join Bai Ling in serial killer thriller!

A few months ago, we shared the news that Bai Ling of The Crow would be starring in Kaleidoscope, a noir serial killer thriller from Joe Cornet (the director of Gunfight at Rio Bravo and its upcoming sequel) and producer Alexander Nevsky (Black Rose). Now we are proud to share the EXCLUSIVE announcement that Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) and Eileen Dietz – who is best known for playing the demon in the classic horror film The Exorcist – have also signed on to star in Kaleidoscope!

Cornet and Nevsky are producing Kaleidoscope together, with Nevsky producing through his Hollywood Storm banner. Filming is scheduled to begin in March. Scripted by Cornet and Kent Hill, the story takes place in 1960s Los Angeles and centers on a mysterious woman from Shanghai (Ling) who may or may not be a serial killer.

Cornet will also have an acting role in the film, as will Tatiana Neva (Executor) and Sarah French (The Amityville Murders).

Ling provided the following statement about Kaleidoscope: “The script is very good and I love my character. She’s very classy and special, she has all the good qualities you would like to see in a woman. But she may be really dangerous.

Cornet added: “I am thrilled to be working with Eric Roberts, Eileen Dietz and Bai Ling! The story concerns duplicity, double-crosses, false identities and, of course, murder. I have long wanted to direct a film of this type as an homage to some of the classic thrillers but with a modern sensibility.

ETA Films’ Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart), Douglas “Fini” Finical (CABALI and the Tiki Mug Obsession) and JoBlo Media’s John Fallon (The Shelter) serve as executive producers on the film.

Cornet and Nevsky previously worked with Eileen Dietz on their first horror movie, Night of the Caregiver. We’re hoping to hear a release date for that one very soon.
