TIFF 2011: 388 Arletta Avenue
Posted on: September 08, 2011 | Filed under: 388 Arletta Avenue | 1 Comment
388 Arletta Avenue will be premiering at Toronto Film Festival (Screening will be next September 11 and 12), and DreadCentral has posted a new teaser sheet for the movie. It had a trailer too, but it had to be removed.
Synopsis
Shot from the point of view of hidden cameras, the film follows a thirty-something couple, James and Amy Deakin, as they are secretly videotaped 24/7 by a mysterious stalker in their home, on the streets, and at their workplace. The stalker uses information gleaned from the footage to subtly manipulate the unsuspecting couple, and cracks in their relationship surface. When Amy suddenly vanishes, James is not sure whether she has been abducted or has simply left him. As the acts of the tormentor become more twisted and violent, James desperately tries to figure out who is behind the terror in order to save his wife. But it seems the stalker is always one move ahead…“388 Arletta Avenue : ) is a wickedly smart mystery-thriller,” says executive producer Vincenzo Natali. “And it’s a story that could not have existed until recently, thanks to the astonishing and invasive technology that is now widely available. The fact that it is possible makes it truly terrifying.”
“388 Arletta Avenue : ) plays with the notion that if you could scratch to beneath the surface of what most supposedly ordinary people present to the world, and even to themselves, you would find very interesting and possibly very dark things,” says Randall Cole. “If exploited, some of those things could even result in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, as it does for our lead character.
Let’s hope the trailer surfaces online soon.

It’s all in good intent, or so says the smiley emoticon that rocks a slew of creeptacular posters for Randall Cole’s 388 Arletta Avenue, the Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice) produced horror flick starring Nick Stahl, Mia Kirshner and Devon Sawa.
“Shot from the point of view of hidden cameras, the film follows a thirty-something couple, James and Amy Deakin, as they are secretly videotaped 24/7 by a mysterious stalker in their home, on the streets and at their workplace.

The thriller is now in post and was for sale at Cannes. No word a distributor yet, but with the names involved it can’t be too far behind.

Click here to view the photo of the poster Mia’s co-star Diora Baird posted via Twitter. Unfortunately it’s not the most flattering or professional looking poster I’ve ever seen, but hey, at least it features Mia. Let’s just hope the cover art on the DVD looks a bit better.

30 Days of Night: Dark Days Wraps Production – Director Ben Ketai Speaks!

This scribe recently caught up with Sony’s 30 Days of Night: Dark Days co-scripter (with Steve Niles) and director Ben Ketai, who filled us in on the status of his sequel to director David Slade’s 2007 vampire chiller 30 Days of Night.
Dread was on-set during the principal photography of Dark Days last November in Vancouver. See that item here.
“We’re in the last couple of weeks of post-production,” Ketai, who previously helmed the 30 Days web series, said of Dark Days in early April. “It’s the home stretch here. We are in that last stage where every little bit you put into it makes it that much better: the sound, the color, and every new effects shot that goes in – it’s really exciting.”
