Cannes: ‘The Carnival of Illusions’ Promo One Sheet!
The other day it was announced that Talal Selhami will be getting behind the camera for The Carnival of Illusions, a new horror film co-scripted by Selhami and Cyril Rolland (The Pack). This evening Bloody-Disgusting with provided with a full synopsis and official Cannes promo art for the film that takes on shades of Juan Antonio Bayona’s The Orphanage and turns on a teacher who takes his 11-year-old daughter Liz to a summer boarding school in a quiet Alsace village where she begins to hear what seems to be the voice of another student, who’s lying in semi-coma. Meanwhile, her father investigates the death of the teacher he’s replaced.
“Liz, an eleven-year-old child deeply upset by her mother’s death, tried to commit suicide. Persuaded that a change of circumstances will do the little girl a world of good, Paul, her teacher-father, agrees at short notice to stand in for a teacher in a summer boarding school located in Alsace, a few miles from the German border.
However, once there, the place proves to be less friendly than hoped. Liz soon becomes the victim of nightmarish visions. Even more disturbing, she develops the ability to communicate with Thomas, a boarder who is in a semi-coma, whose voice reaches her through an old cocked hat that was in his stuff.
As the friendship between Liz and her young friend becomes ever more symbiotic, her father starts inquiring on the bizarre death of the teacher he is replacing.”
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle.
