Fangoria Brings Horror Screenplay ‘After Birth’ to Life

Published

After Birth

Parenting is notoriously difficult, especially when it’s for a Frankenstein’s monster version of an infant. I can’t imagine trying to piece together your own baby from scratch (outside of conception) being an easy or clean task. This is why Fangoria’s newest film After Birth will prove to be a film worth seeing for parents who may have constructed their own Franken-baby, but need tips and tricks on how to keep it alive.

The screenplay, originally by Laura Moss (Fry Day and Rising Up: The Story of the Zombie Rights Movement) and Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), After Birth will be directed by Moss, is being financially backed by Fangoria, reports Deadline. Alongside Moss, Mali Elfman (Before I Wake) is set to produce in addition to Dallas Sonnier (Bone Tomahawk and Dragged Across Concrete)  and Amanda Presmyk (Puppet Master: Littlest Reich and Dragged Across Concrete) for Fangoria and Cinestate. Fangoria will have the role of executive producers assigned to Phil Nobile Jr. (Killer Profile and Halloween: The Inside Story) and Clay Neigher (Satanic Panic (pre-production)). The team provided will be  in charge of this touching mother-daughter horror fest of gore and quality parenting.

Detailed by Deadline‘s article, After Birth is about a morgue technician who is able to galvanize the corpse of a baby girl; however, while the little spawn is alive for now, it cannot survive by natural means like any other newborn infant. In order to keep the little girl alive, the technician turned mad scientist must gather the necessary biological components to give the Frankenbaby. Consequently, the bio-parts needed to keep the girl alive must come from pregnant women.

Unfortunately for our new-age Frankenstein, the girl’s mother discovers that the child has been brought back to life by unethical means. Thankfully for the Morgue technician, the two are able to lead to an agreement that guarantees that they will embark on a nightmarish journey that there’s no turning back from.

After Birth promises to be one hell of an interesting ride, an innovative take on the age-old tale of Frankenstein that’s been reinvented countless times. Fangoria has also announced they will be backing an episodic horror comedy series featuring Barbara Crampton, which you can read our article covering that here!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
