I must give credit to Dread Central and their scooper for pointing me in the direction of this cool little find. It’s not a whole lot, but it’s not nothin’!
The French site CanalPlus has the first behind-the-scenes footage from John Carpenter’s THE WARD. It’s brief, only lasting a few seconds; it shows a helpless girl being threatened by a skeletal hand holding what appears to be a creepy surgical instrument… Like I said, not much, but at least it’s proof that we’re actually getting a brand new John Carpenter film in the near future!
Head on over HERE to watch the video – move over to 1:33 to begin watching the Carpenter footage.
In a nameless 1959 town, a young woman named Kristen is found, crazed, in the woods before a burning church. She’s taken to a foreboding psychiatric hospital run by the ominous Dr. Stringer, where she meets an eccentric (natch) group of half-nutty girls, as well as a couple of unsavory orderlies. But it’s when the lights go out that things get really unsettling, as Kristen begins to see a ghostly figure roaming the halls – and even entering her room. Before long Kristen wises up to the fact that Chamberlain Psychiatric Hospital contains a very dark secret – and everyone but her seems to know what it is…
THE WARD stars Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker, Jared Harris, Mika Boorem, Laura-Leigh, Sydney Sweeney, Dan Anderson, Susanna Burney, Sali Sayle and Lyndsy Fonseca.
