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.
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
