ARC Entertainment/XLrator Media Will Explore ‘Graystone’
ARC Entertainment and XLrator Media have landed domestic distribution rights out of Berlin for Sean Stone’s Graystone, yet another found footage horror that takes place in an asylum of sorts.
“Back in Oct. ’09, a trio of filmmaking friends break into Graystone, an abandoned asylum, to explore whether or not they believe in the supernatural. But legend has it that anyone who ventures into the hospital will lose their mind. And the young trio will now have to suffer the consequences of their journey into a mysterious realm of escaped patients, ghosts and demonic “shadows”. What comes out of this adventure is a haunting tale of the supernatural, made all the more startling because it is real.”
Yes, they claim this is based on true events…
Stone stars alongside Alexander Wriath, Antonella Lentini, John Schram, Monique Van Vooren, and Monique Zrodan.

Julia Garner Joins Horror Movie ‘Weapons’ from the Director of ‘Barbarian’
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
