Poster And First Images From The Basement (Gemini) Take A Stab At Terror

Last year, it was announced that the psychological horror thriller ‘Gemini’ was entering production. Today, we have the first poster from well known artists Aaron Kat that reveals the film’s new title ‘The Basement’, from Brian M. Conley and Nathan Ives who co-wrote, directed and produced. The poster teases that one of the characters is suffering from schizophrenia and has 10 personalities. There’s also a creepy clown lurking in the poster. Set in Los Angeles, a serial killer known as “The Gemini” kidnaps a seemingly innocent man and forces his victims to switch roles with him so that he can enact his own capture, torture and murder. Currently in post-production and described as “torture porn” the film stars Jackson Davis (Deserted), Cayleb Long (Ascent to Hell), Anne Broders (The 5th Wave), Misha Barton (LA Slasher), Tracie Thoms (Death Proof), Maria Volk (Wolf Creek 2) and Kareem J. Grimes (Boyz N the Hood). ‘The Basement’ will be released later this year.

Syfy Orders Pilot For The Series Adaption Of George R. R. Martin’s ‘Nightflyers’

Back in May we reported that as part of Syfy’s 25th anniversary programming upgrade that they were developing a series adaption of George R. R. Martin’s supernatural novella ‘Nightflyers’. While at the time it was not guaranteed that the series would ever grace our televisions, that has changed. Today, news has come, via Deadline, that Syfy has given the green light for the pilot, penned by Jeff Buhler (Jacob’s Ladder). ‘Nightflyers’, from Universal Cable Productions and Hypnotic, is currently setting up a writers room in order to prepare backup scripts in anticipation of the series being picked up.

Filming for American Horror Story’s next season is already underway and new cast members are still being announced. The most recent addition to the new season is Colton Haynes.

The Second Season Of ‘The Exorcist’ Will Be Here Soon !

A few months ago we were extremely happy to report that ‘The Exorcist’ would be getting a second season after all. Now, we know a premiere date, thanks to the official Facebook Page for the series. Amazingly, it won’t be long before the next chapter of the story is revealed. Grab a bible and some holy water, the second season of ‘The Exorcist’ will premiere on September 29, 2017. During a conversation with Bloody Disgusting back late last year the series’ creator and showrunner Jeremy Slater had this to say about what the second season might bring: A potential season two would find Marcus, Tomas and Bennett tasked with helping a new family or a new case of possession. That doesn’t mean we’ll never see any of the Rances again, but I think the fans would feel disappointed and cheated if we simply brought Captain Howdy back for round three. The Rances have escaped this legacy of terror–for the time
