THE MOST TALKED ABOUT MOVIE OF THE YEAR IS ONE THAT NO ONE'S ACTUALLY SEEN......YET

The Hunt In Theaters March 13 

 https://www.TheHunt.movie 

 The most talked about movie of the year is the one nobody has seen … yet.  

 Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don't know they’ve been chosen… for a very specific purpose … The Hunt.   In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt ordinary Americans for sport. 

But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of The Hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin, GLOW), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (two-time Oscar® winner Hilary Swank) at the center of it all.   

From Jason Blum, the producer of Get Out and The Purge series, and Damon Lindelof, creator of the HBO series Watchmen and co-creator of the TV series Lost, comes a timely and provocative new satirical thriller that has already ignited a national conversation. Now, it’s time to decide for yourself.  

 The Hunt is written by Lindelof and his fellow Watchmen collaborator Nick Cuse and is directed by Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah, The Leftovers). Blum produces for his Blumhouse Productions alongside Lindelof. The film is executive produced by Zobel, Cuse and Steven R. Molen.

"FOLLOWED" ACQUIRED FOR DISTRIBUTION BY GLOBAL VIEW ENTERTAINMENT

FOLLOWED ACQUIRED FOR DISTRIBUTION
BY GLOBAL VIEW ENTERTAINMENT
 

All domestic rights to FOLLOWED, the highly anticipated horror film, have been acquired by freshman distributor Global View Entertainment (GVE). GVE is planning a theatrical release in major markets on April 10, 2020.

When aspiring social media influencer “DropTheMike” is offered a lucrative sponsorship to grow his channel, he's joined by his video crew on a visit to one of the most haunted hotels in America, where he'll give his audience a horrific night of thrill-seeking the likes of which they have never seen before. What begins as a fun investigative challenge including the infamous Elevator Ritual quickly descends into a personal hell of true evil, begging the timely question: how far would you go to pursue internet fame?  

FOLLOWED is inspired by real events at the Hotel Cecil in downtown Los Angeles, and is part of a growing list of “Screen-Life” films – films whose stories are told by way of a computer screen recording. The award-winning feature is the first horror film to do so entirely through a series of YouTube-like vlogs.

The film stars Matthew Solomon (HBO’s “Ballers”) as “DropTheMike,” John Savage (The Last Full Measure; The Deer Hunter), Sam Valentine, Caitlin Grace, Tim Drier, and Kelsey Griswold. It was directed by Antoine Le, written by Todd Klick and produced by Matthew Ryan Brewbaker, each making their feature debuts. Executive producers include J. Todd Harris, Thomas Pettinelli, Greg Berlant and Gregory Adkins as well as Grant Cramer, Richard Barner, Chad Doher and Wendy Moore from Global View Entertainment. Followed is a Viscape Arts and Branded Pictures Entertainment co-production.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be launching our new distribution shingle with the acquisition and release of Followed, a truly innovative take on the genre featuring a group of extremely talented young actors,” said Global View President Grant Cramer. “The film examines our current obsession with online fame and notoriety at any cost while devolving into bone chilling tension and horror."

WESTWORLD STAR TO STAR NEO-WESTERN THRILLER "GOD'S COUNTRY"

Thandie Newton to Star in God's Country Cold Iron Pictures and The Film Arcade to finance and produce the neo-Western thriller   Emmy® winning actress Thandie Newton, soon to be seen in the third season of HBO's "Westworld," will star in director Julian Higgins' debut feature God's Country, Cold Iron Pictures and The Film Arcade announced today. Cold Iron's CEO Miranda Bailey and Amanda Marshall are producing the film, along with Halee Bernard and Higgins. Anthony Ciardelli and The Film Arcade's Jason Beck will serve as Executive Producers. ICM Partners is representing the film, which starts principal photography this week in Montana. A neo-Western thriller set in the bleak winter landscape of the Mountain West, God's Country stars Newton as a college professor living on her own at the edge of the national forest. One day she confronts two hunters trespassing on her land, triggering a battle of wills with dangerous ramifications. Screenwriter Shaye Ogbonna adapted the script with Higgins from the short story "Winter Light" by James Lee Burke. Burke is The New York Times bestselling author of the Dave Robicheaux detective series and numerous other novels. He has received two Edgar Awards and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts in Fiction and a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. Burke's fortieth novel will be released this year. "Julian and Shaye's radical new take on James Lee Burke's story is a nuanced response to the times in which we live," said Bailey. "We are thrilled to be working on this powerful film that puts Thandie's remarkable acting talent front and center." Julian Higgins is a Los Angeles-based writer-director whose short films have screened at over a hundred festivals around the globe and won dozens of prizes, including the gold medal Student Academy Award® and two Student Emmy® awards for his AFI thesis film, Thief. His most recent short, Winter Light, was a top-ten finalist for the 2016 Academy Award® for Best Live Action Short. Higgins made his television directorial debut with one of the final episodes of "House," and has since executive produced and directed Seasons 2 & 3 of the anthology drama series "Guidance," streaming on Hulu. Higgins is represented by Good Fear Content. Newton stars on HBO's critically acclaimed series "Westworld" for which she won the 2019 Emmy Award for "Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series," and was nominated for back to back Golden Globe Awards as well as two SAG Awards. Additionally, she is well known for the Academy Award®-winning Best Picture, Crash, for which she received the BAFTA for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" and a Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture." Newton starred as the title character in Jonathan Demme's Beloved, opposite Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2, alongside Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness, as well as Chiwetel Ejiofor in Half a Yellow Sun. Other film credits include Ron Howard's Solo: A Star Wars Story, Tyler Perry's Good Deeds and For Colored Girls opposite Whoopi Goldberg, the Merchant-Ivory picture Jefferson In Paris, and Oliver Stone's W. Newton will next be seen starring in Lisa Joy's Reminiscene opposite Hugh Jackman for Warner Bros. She is represented by Untitled Entertainment, WME and Independent Talent Group.

FIRST LOOK: PHOTOS OF LOVECRATIAN THRILLER "THE DEEP ONES"

First Photos from The Deep Ones Wash Ashore Lovecraftian Thriller is the Latest Frightfest  From Cult Director Chad Ferrin

Independent horror filmmaker Chad Ferrin (Parasites, The Ghouls, Someone's Knocking at the Door) has debuted the first photos from his eighth film The Deep Ones, a Lovecraftian take on Rosemary's Baby.  A married couple rents a beachside dream home, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors and bizarre occurrences. They soon discover they are in the crosshairs of a mysterious cult and their ancient sea god.

The cast of The Deep Ones includes Johann Urb ("Arrow"), Gina La Piana, Robert Miano, Silvia Spross, Jackie Debatin, Nicolas Coster, Rachel Pringle, Jerry Irons, Robert Rhine, Jon Mack, Bulet Rush, Timothy Muskatell, Kelli Maroney (Chopping Mall, Night of the Comet) and Kurt Carley (the Underworld franchise, Roland Emmerich's Godzilla).

Behind the scenes, Ferrin is joined by producers Gina La Piana, Robert Miano and Jeff Olan, composer Richard Band (Re-Animator, From Beyond), director of photography Jeff Billings, makeup effects artist Jim Ojala (Deadgirl, Strange Nature) with key art by Nenad Gucunja.  The Deep Ones is executive produced by Michael Schefano, Richard Pate, Gerry Karr and Zebadiah DeVane.

"H.P. Lovecraft must be smiling down on us," Ferrin shared, "as this has been the most blessed film experience of my 25 years of doing what I love. And I thank the cast and crew from the bottom of my heart for going above and beyond all expectations."

After suffering an untimely loss, Alex (La Piana) and her husband Petri (Urb) visit California for a much-needed break from reality. At an unassuming rental, they meet the mysterious Russell Marsh (Miano). Marsh introduces them to the oddly enthusiastic locals, fixes them a lavish meal and invites them out on his luxury boat.  Little do they know that beneath Mr. Marsh's thin veneer of avuncular charm lurks a dark devotion to an archaic evil. A wickedly warped twist on the classic Cthulhu mythos, The Deep Ones is what it looks like when Rosemary's Baby undergoes the Innsmouth Transformation.
