The ‘Red Static’ Trailer Teases Murder And Mental Illness

From producers of Tuftland comes Sami Pöyry‘s new gritty psychedelic thriller, Red Static whose teaser trailer has arrived, giving us a taste of what’s to come.

James Wan Signs On For Universal Monster Movie

On the heels of Leigh Whannell’s success with Universal’s The Invisible Man, horror heavy hitter James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring franchise) has signed on to develop a monster movie for Universal Studios, THR is reporting. Wan’s Atomic Monster will be producing the currently untitled movie written by “Supernatural’s” Robbie Thompson. “Sources say the story takes its cues from Universal’s classic monster legacy and shines it through a modern prism. With shades of Disturbia, the story will focus on a group of teens who discover that a neighbor is building a monster in his basement. Spoiler: the monster gets loose.” Sounds a bit like a modern Frankenstein, doesn’t it? At this time Universal Studios has quite a few monster movies in the works, including Monster Mash and The Invisible Woman. The question is are they part of the “Dark Universe,” the revival of the Universal Monster franchise that we heard so much about a couple of years ago? Or are they

Production has begun on writer Mariama Diallo‘s feature directorial debut, the “haunting thriller” Master. Starring Regina Hall (Girls Trip, Shaft), Zoe Renee (“Black Lightning,” Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase), and Amber Gray (“Escape at Dannemora”), the film is from Amazon Studios, Deadline reports. The film centers on “three black women who strive to find their place at the celebrated Ancaster College, an elite university in New England. The school was built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill and the ghostly legacies of Puritan-era persecution haunt the campus in an increasingly supernatural fashion. The plot examines how each of these women will — or won’t — survive in this space of privilege.” From the moment we read Master and met Mariama we knew we needed to be part of bringing this spine-chilling story to life – and we couldn’t be more excited about our incredible cast and executive producer Regina Hall, as well as, Zoe Renee and Amber
