Hollywood has always been masked by illusion, and never has that been so literal as in The Real Deal - an ongoing web series from REAL U Films, created by the team behind REAL U Masks, the world’s leading manufacturer of realistic Silicone Special Effects Masks - used in films, haunted houses, and sought out by enthusiasts from around the Globe. The reclusive manufacturer has made a big noise releasing a series of “promotional” short films featuring their new line of ultra-realistic masks. You can read all about this forthcoming effort inside.
REAL U also recruited the talents of horror icon and character actor extraordinaire Courtney Gains (also an accomplished producer and acting coach), best known for his role as Malachi in the Stephen King horror classic Children of the Corn, as well as appearances in blockbuster films like Halloween, Back to the Future, Memphis Belle, The ‘Burbs, Colors, Can’t Buy Me Love, and the cult classic Hardbodies, who produced and stars in the shorts.
Also appearing in the series are comedians Jay Davis (Dane Cook’s Tourgasm), and Ramsey Moore (Punk’D, Jimmy Kimmel Live).
About the series the tight-lipped Gains had this to say. “ I don’t want to give too much away, but it will definitely be something people won’t expect. That’s really what we’re going for, and I think with REAL U involved we can definitely achieve that. These masks are so incredibly life-like that you really wouldn’t believe it. We’ve assembled a really great team, and I’m really excited about this project and hopefully everyone else will be too.”
The first of the series of 5 shorts entitled was released on the internet via viral video sites April 1, 2008, with one film being released each week through 4/29, when the full film will be made available online, as well as submitted to several major short film festivals.
