MARKED MAN TALKS DEMON SCRIPT
Fango pal Adam Gierasch got in touch to provide a few more details on MARKED, the script he wrote with partner Jace Anderson that will be the first feature in Tobe Hooper and Moonstone Entertainments TH Nightmare series. ‘Its a supernatural film noir about an alcoholic cop investigating a series of brutal murders, each victim marked with a distinctive tattoo,’ Gierasch says. ‘I truly believe its the scariest thing weve written, with a really nasty demon in it, but its also a really hard-boiled detective story, which we had always wanted to write. Its set in Los Angeles Little Tokyo, but we didnt write it thinking of Asian horror films; its inspired by [mystery novelists] James Ellroy and Raymond Chandler.’ MARKED is supposed to start shooting in February with Hooper directingafter hes wrapped up MORTUARY, the Gierasch/Anderson-scripted chiller that rolls in late November.
And thats not all Gierasch and Anderson have up their sleeves, as the former reveals they also recently penned an undead epic. ‘Its untitled right now, but basically its DELIVERANCE with zombies,’ he says. ‘Its about a group of people on a river-rafting trip which is interrupted by long-dead mercury miners, who come back to life, and gory hijinx ensue. Its a massive movie with nonstop action, and I promise it has some zombie stuff that no one has seen or imagined before. Its got a lot of new twists on the undead mythology. Millennium Films/Nu Image is going to do it.’ As always, watch this site for further information.
