Official: Universal Acquires’ ‘Phasma Ex Machina’ Remake Rights
Although we already reported some of this months ago, we were asked to remove the story as the deal was far from complete. Deadline is reporting that Universal has now officially acquired remake rights to the awesome Phasma ex Machina, the small independent feature directing debut by Matt Osterman that was the toast of the genre film festival circuit.
The studio acquired the project as a pitch for a horror movie called Our House, and the studio has attached Gary Shore to direct the remake and Nathan Parker to write it.
Phasma ex Machina, which was retitled Ghost From the Machine when it was acquired by Screen Media and released on DVD and VOD, “ponders the grey area between life and death and how science can bridge the two. The protagonist is a young man who is raising his little brother after their parents die in a car crash. His desire to bring them back prompts him to invent a machine designed to be a conduit to the grey beyond, and his success proves dangerous to himself and everyone around him.”

‘Graveyard Shark’ – Practical Suit Creature Feature Looks Like ‘Street Sharks: The Horror Movie’ [Trailer]
Indie shark attack horror movies are a dime a dozen, but every so often one comes along that looks quite a bit different than the others. That’s the case with Graveyard Shark, an upcoming indie horror effort that looks to feature a pretty awesome practical man-shark costume.
From director Matthew A. Peters, Graveyard Shark recently raised finishing funds on Indiegogo, and the DVD, Blu-ray and even VHS tape are up for pre-order from Mad Angel Films.
According to the site, pre-orders will begin shipping on July 19, 2024.
The team previews, “Graveyard Shark is a gripping horror film set in the small town of Willsboro Point, haunted by the terrifying urban legend known as the Graveyard Shark.
“This humanoid creature stalks its prey in the town graveyard, striking unexpectedly and leaving a trail of blood in its wake. Abby Wescott, a renowned cryptid hunter, is called in by Dr. Jan Lovnik to uncover the truth behind the urban legend. As Abby begins her investigation, she learns about the creature’s dark origins from Captain Issac Seyburn, who was present on the night the legend began. Together, Abby and Seyburn team up with a group of Graveyard Shark survivors to put an end to the creature once and for all.
“But as they journey deeper into the graveyard, they realize that the Graveyard Shark may be more intelligent and cunning than they could have imagined. As the body count rises and the stakes become higher, Abby and her team must confront their deepest fears and fight to survive against the deadly Graveyard Shark.”
Stephanie Ward, Michael John Gilbert, Berndele March, Ryan Santiago, Madisen Zabawa, Olivia Walton, Daniel DeFranco, and Olga Bogdanova star in the upcoming creature feature.
