Set to screen his newest horror outing THE INKEEPERS this week at SXSW, writer/director Ti West has unveiled his follow up project to be a science-fiction film called THE SIDE EFFECTS.
According to West, who spoke with The Playlist, THE SIDE EFFECTS “is a science fiction movie about…it has to do with pharmaceutical testing in space and paranoia. It will be bigger budgeted, but in a way it would fill out a trilogy with ‘House Of The Devil,’ and ‘The Inkeepers,’ as far as dealing with isolation and paranoia, and that kind of psychological fear, but it’s set in space.”
Not bad, not bad. West continued with:
“I had a very difficult run-in with an insurance company and that’s what [begat the film]. It was me against a corporation and I just knew I couldn’t win so I felt like I was going to make this as painful for them as possible because this is unfair. So I would just drag it out and [that element]—one person against a corporation—is what started the idea.”
Oh those damn insurance companies. Straight criminals!
