Halsey To Star In & Co-Write Psycho-Sexual Horror Film REPLACER

Singer-songwriter and actress Halsey (Ashley Nicolette Frangipane) is set to star in the upcoming psycho-sexual horror film "Replacer". The film is directed by actor/filmmaker Avan Jogia from a script he co-wrote alongside Halsey, and is executive produced by "The Matrix" co-filmmaker Lilly Wachowski".

Here is the official synopsis: "Stranded in Montreal, Proxy (Halsey), a troubled DJ, meets an alluring artist and his group of friends who run an underground radio station. The station's broadcast becomes warped by a mysterious signal hidden deep beneath the city's subway system. Proxy must escape before the sound turns her, and her new friends, into something raw, primal, and unrecognizable".

CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group represent the film's North American rights and Film Mode Entertainment handles international sales. The film is produced by Kyle Mann of Independent Edge, Isabelle Deluce of Soft Focus Films, Damiano Tucci of Getaway Entertainment, in association with Anarchists United. Wachowski, executive produces alongside Anthony Li, Lawrence Mattis, Sarah Flores, Christopher Renteria, Emily McCann Lesser, and Clay Epstein of Film Mode Entertainment. Olivier Picard and David Pierrat of Parce Que Films are co-producing.

Lilly Wachowski had this to say about the project: "Avan and Halsey's script is a surreal hyper-dive into a twitchy, conspiratorial genre mashing snarl of horror/thriller/comedy, set against the grit and grime of a rarely glimpsed Montreal subculture. This thing is packed! I have the sense that Avan's eyeballs have gulped down a steady diet of the films I grew up on — David Cronenberg, Alex Cox, Tony Scott, John Carpenter. Anarchists United is beyond excited to join the Replacer team and bring this super cool story to the screen"!

Jogia added: "'Replacer' is a bright and electric club horror mashed together with a vulnerable romantic story about belonging and community. Come together. Leave as one".

RESIDENT EVIL Reboot Will Star Kaya Scodelario, Robbie Amell, Hannah John-Kamen, Neal McDonough & More

A new "Resident Evil" cinematic adventure is in the works from Constantin Film and writer-director Johannes Roberts ("47 Meters Down", "Strangers: Prey at Night"). This time it's a reboot, and the film will be an origin story that is intended to be a faithful adaptation of Capcom's classic videogame series. The plot will be set in 1998 on a fateful night in Racoon City.

Most of the main cast has been assembled, as well. We have Kaya Scodelario ("Maze Runner", "Crawl") as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen ("Ant-Man and the Wasp") as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell ("Upload") as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper ("The Umbrella Academy") as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia ("Zombieland: Double Tap") as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough ("Yellowstone") as William Birkin.

Here's what Roberts had to say about the project:

"With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences."

Franchise producer Robert Kulzer also shared his thoughts on the film's story:

"After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City.".

Sony's Screen Gems division will release the movie theatrically sometime in 2021.
