What Happened to ‘The Body’ in the Morgue?
ore Spanish horror is on the horizon as The Orphanage producer Rodar y Rodar is re-teaming with Spain’s Antena 3 Films to make The Body (El cuerpo), reports Variety.
The project is the feature debut of Oriol Paulo, one of Spain’s rising stars. Paulo leapt to notice as co-scribe on Guillem Morales’ Julia’s Eyes, a Rodar-Antena 3 Films co-production with UPI.
Body stars Jaime Pena as “a police inspector sent to investigate the disappearance of a woman’s body from a morgue.”
“A Hitchcock-style psychological thriller,” Body will shoot January with A-list Spanish-speaking stars, Padro said. Paulo added that Body channels influences such as Rob Reiner’s Misery and Hitchcock’s The Birds.
Fans of The Orphanage can expect a similar tone as Body will use DP Oscar Faura.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
