Title: The Color Out of Darkness movie. Post by: Alex on January 23, 2019, 04:35:49 PM Quote Nicolas Cage will star in the horror movie “Color out of Space” for Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision. Principal photography will begin next month with South African filmmaker Richard Stanley directing his first feature in more than 20 years. Stanley co-wrote the script with Scarlett Amaris. The project, based on the novella by H.P. Lovecraft, will reunite Cage with SpectreVision, the company behind his 2018 film “Mandy.” The cast also includes Joely Richardson, Tommy Chong, Elliot Knight, Julian Hilliard, and Q’Orianka Kilcher. “Color out of Space” centers on a family who moves to a remote farmstead in rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century when a meteorite crashes into their front yard, resulting in the land and the properties of space-time being infected with a strange, otherworldly color. To their horror, the family discovers that this alien force is gradually mutating every life form that it touches. SpectreVision’s Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller, Lisa Whalen, and Wood are producing, while Timur Bekbosunov, Johnny Chang, Emma Lee and Peter Wong will executive produce for ACE Pictures. Stacy Jorgensen will executive produce for SpectreVision. “Lovecraft is the dark father of modern horror, and we have been searching for an adaptation that captures the true scope of his cosmic dread for years,” Noah said. “Richard Stanley — a wizard in his own right – will at long last bring Lovecraft’s humbling power to the screen unfiltered.” Stanley’s credits include “Hardware” and “Dust Devil.” He was the initial director on 1996’s “The Island of Dr. Moreau,” which starred Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer, but was replaced by John Frankenheimer. Cage is repped by WME and Mike Nilon of Stride Management. Richardson is repped by Gersh and ARG. Knight is repped by ICM and Affirmative Entertainment. Hilliard is repped by Paradigm and The Green Room. Kilcher is repped by APA and Anonymous. Title: Re: The Color Out of Darkness movie. Post by: indianasmith on January 23, 2019, 07:29:32 PM I saw a version of this story that was filmed in Germany a few years back that really did justice to the story.
I have no confidence in Nicholas Cage these days . . . but Joely Richardson has been a celebrity crush of mine for years, so I'm in!! Title: Re: The Color Out of Darkness movie. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on January 23, 2019, 07:58:57 PM Well, it's gotta be better than that version they made with will wheaton years ago. And I have nothing against will wheaton and do not have a "I hate Wesley" thing, he wasn't the problem, the movie was.
I have no love of Nicholas cage tho... Title: Re: The Color Out of Darkness movie. Post by: Trevor on January 24, 2019, 01:38:11 AM :cheers: for Richard Stanley!
Title: Re: The Color Out of Darkness movie. Post by: Alex on January 24, 2019, 01:45:08 AM It is quite a subtle, slow-burning story rather than slap bang horror. Maybe Cage can do subtle and understated, but he wouldn't be my first choice for this particular story.
I can think of other stories he'd be more suited to. Title: Re: The Color Out of Darkness movie. Post by: indianasmith on January 24, 2019, 07:47:53 AM Nick Cage is such a mixed bag. Few actors can be more brilliant or more wooden.

Their computers inspired the Japanese MSX computer standard. Back on topic... The story sounds cool, & I have no problem with Nick Cage, so I'll keep my eye on this. |
