AFM '08: Sales Art for Brittany Murphy Thriller Deadline

November 9, 2008


In the vein of The Shining comes Deadline from writer-director Sean McConville. Lensed in Louisiana earlier this year, the film stars Brittany Murphy (Sin City), Thora Birch, Tammy Blanchard and Marc Blucas.

Murphy plays Alice, a screenwriter who travels to an abandoned house to finish a script on time, but a series of strange events lead her to a psychological breakdown.

Epic Pictures is shopping the thriller around the American Film Market this weekend. Here's a look at their promo art. We'll keep you updated once this one lands distro. In the meantime, pay a visit to the film's MySpace page.

That has to be the laziest premise ever. I hate it when (screen)writers write about (screen)writers and their problems and personal lives. Then they think they can get me interested by adding a genre twist? Seriously, this kind of crap is worse than remakes. The only way I'll see this is if Brittany and Thora have a 20 minute bathtub scene together.

The plot reminds me of the 80's movie HOUSE.

All writers use things from theyr lives, it's unavoidable.

What do you know about movie directing? Look at me I am rich and you are a poor insect who looks up movies because you are too lazy to go out and get a real job.

Brittany Murphy is currently filming "MEGAFAULT" for The Asylum. I know this because I used to work for them. Heck, I wrote their religious disaster movie "COUNTDOWN: JERUSALEM" (don't blame me for the end product, I did not have control over the script).

She is apparently a real pain in the ass to work with and they have to shoot around her because she is dragging her ass in the trailer!

In any case, that one is shaping up to look better than this boring psycho-drama. David Michael Latt, head of The Asylum, is behind the camera on that one!
