Nearly a year has gone by since we learned that Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) had signed on to star in Piper, a new horror film from director Anthony Waller. Now The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the movie is set to have its world premiere at FrightFest this Sunday, August 27th – and ahead of the premiere, a trailer for Piper has arrived online! You can check it out in the embed above.
Back in 1995, director Waller made an impressive breakthrough with the thriller Mute Witness… then quickly squandered the good will he had earned with that movie by following it up with An American Werewolf in Paris. Waller has made a couple movies since the Paris debacle – the 2000 Bill Pullman thriller The Guilty, the 2009 sci-fi horror film 9 Miles Down – and here’s hoping that Piper will earn him some positive attention again.

Originally filmed as simply The Prey, The Prey: Legend of Karnoctus, had the unwieldy subtitle added to help distinguish it from everything from Norman J Warren’s exploitation gem Prey to the 80s slasher The Prey and the more recent Cambodian riff on The Most Dangerous Game also titled The Prey. The film starts in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan as something large and furry gives US forces a helping hand by taking out a couple of Taliban soldiers.
Elsewhere in the area, a US squad is on patrol, but the fireworks are being provided by a well-armed group of mercenaries including Vega, Gunnar, Tagger and Reid. But they’re not working as security contractors,...

Second feature from The Pool director to be co-produced by Potemkino.
Amsterdam Gothic, the second feature from director Chris W. Mitchell (The Pool), has landed a production deal with Belgium’s Potemkino at the Frontières international co-pro market in Brussels (Mar 30 – Apr 1).
The Dutch-Belgian co-production is based on a draft script from the late American-Australian screenwriter Everett de Roche (Nine Miles Down), who passed away in 2014 following a battle with cancer.
Director Mitchell completed the screenplay. Producers are Jan Doense and Herman Slagter for Dutch production outfit House of Netherhorror (The Pool, Cherry Tree), with Potemkino’s Peter De Maegd also now attached as a producer as part of the deal.
The development of the English-Dutch language project has been supported by the Dutch Film Fund, and is raising finance for a $2.7m (€2.4m) production budget.

Australian screenwriter, Everett De Roche, has penned some mid-sized horror hits recently in Storm Warning, Nature's Grave (review) and Nine Miles Down, but it seems he's aiming for something a tad grander in his latest script - a modern pirate adventure called High Seas.
I've known that High Seas was in development at Resolution Independent (the dudes behind Storm Warning and the upcoming Pa flick Wynter Dark) for about a year now, but word from producer Pete Ford is that De Roche has turned in the final draft and that everyone's pretty excited about it.
Ford also has this to say about High Seas: "It's the story about a father and son that have to battle pirates, the elements and themselves to save the day... okay that sounds kind of naff, trust me - it isn't. It kicks complete ass!"
After the break we've got three pieces of High Seas...

Santa Monica -- A clutch of 13 film titles -- some dating back a decade -- has been shifted to British-based sales and financier Intandem from U.S. sales label Seven Arts.
Both companies are well-traveled, experienced sales outfits, and Seven Arts has previously struck deals for the 13 pics, including Keanu Reeves starrer "Johnny Mnemonic," "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" starring Clive Owen and Samuel L. Jackson and "No Good Deed" with Milla Jovovich.
But the fresh representation means Intandem will now be knocking on doors looking for additional fees.
Intandem's sales and marketing directors Billy Hurman and Andrew Brown will be negotiating the renewal of contracts with existing distributors and selling other available territories at Afm.
The switch of sales agents comes on the back of a decision by unspecified finance backers of the original slate of films who are looking for speedier, and bigger, returns on...

Here's a new trailer for "Nine Miles Down," the new thriller from Anthony Waller, the director of "Mute Witness." If it's half as good as "Mute Witness," it should be pretty good. The film stars Adrian Paul. Its tagline is, "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil..." In the Sahara desert, a sandstorm batters a deserted drilling station. Thomas "Jack" Jackman (Paul) a security patrolman, battles through the high winds to find out why all contact with the station has been lost. Originally built for gas exploration, and then abandoned, the site had recently been taken over by a multi-national research team intent on drilling deeper into the earth's crust than ever before. .

The guys over at Quiet Earth dug up the trailer for a new Aussie flick called Nine Miles Down, which comes to us from Storm Warning/Long Weekend screenwriter Everett de Roche and Mute Witness helmer Anthony Waller. That’s a very sexy pedigree, if you ask me.
The film stars former Highlander Adrian Paul as Jack, a security patrolman enlisted to figure out what happened to a crew of drillers in the Australian outback. When he gets to the site, he finds a beautiful geologist name Jc (Kate Nauta), who claims to the only survivor of the research team. The rest were killed after violence took over following the discovery of a cavern an unprecedented nine miles below the surface of the Earth. It all makes some sense, but as things progress Jack begins to suspect something supernatural is going down.
No word on a U.S. release for Nine Miles Down yet,...

I first read about Nine Miles Down during this year's Afm reporting spree but wanted to wait for footage before writing anything about it. The film originally caught my eye because it was written by Australian Everett De Roche (Storm Warning, Long Weekend) and directed by Anthony Waller who made a truly fantastic thriller called Mute Witness back in the 90s.
In the remotest reaches of the Australian Outback, a sandstorm batters a deserted drilling station. Three days earlier, radio contract was lost, so security patrolman Jack is enlisted to investigate. He finds abundant food and resources in the complex but, oddly, not a living soul. Jack encounters a beautiful American geologist named Jc who claims to be the last remaining member of the research team. She tells how they had successfully breached the roof of a vast cavern at the unprecedented depth of nine miles. Following the discovery, a...
