Not too long ago Eric told us about this flick called ELEVATOR MEN. All we knew at the time was that the flick was about a single mom in pursuit of Mr. Right who ends up meeting a horrific creature in human guise and that the script came from Marc Haimes. Well today we’ve got a bit more info thanks to The Hollywood Reporter!
First up the good word is that Summit Entertainement are looking to snag this one up. Nothing is a done deal yet but I’d bet it’s pretty close. The dark thriller is described as ‘a less romanticized look at the human-vampire interactions depicted in such recent movies and series as Summit’s “Twilight” and HBO’s “True Blood.”‘ Really? That’s awesome! I’m loving this idea. Enough of the watered down vampire goods… let’s see some horror! Haimes explains:
“It’s a reaction to all of these stories now — TV shows and movies — that play this kind of romantic, fantastical, sexy aspect of getting involved with monsters. This is the dark, sinister version of what really happens when you decide you’re going to get close to really bad things. That fantasy element is something I wanted to look at and play the exact opposite: the grim reality of bedding down with a monster.”
Apparently the title refers to diabolical mind games the creatures play with people, one which involves an elevator. Also it seems the title of the film will change before things are said and done. So there you have it. We’ve finally got an explanation of what we can expect with ELEVATOR MEN and it sounds awesome! We’ll keep an eye on this one and will update you all once we hear more.
