"VACANCY" & "THE HOLE" Writer Pens "MARTYRS", Latest John Hillcoat Thriller!
A few weeks back, Bloody-disgusting.com announced that Paramount had set up an untitled horror project penned by Mark L. Smith ("VACANCY", "THE HOLE 3D") with Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form along with Room 101's Steven Schneider. The project was kept under wraps, so BD caught up with Smith to see if they could get any nuggets of info out of him. During the interview, he revealed some HUGE news on some forthcoming projects, one of which is the eventual redo of Pascal Laugier's "MARTYRS".
With the full interview forthcoming, below are a few morsels of info received from writer Mark L. Smith.
When asked about future projects he told BD about ""THE REVENANT", which is a period action/revenge piece that Anonymous Content is producing," he tells BD exclusively adding some huge news. "John Hillcoat ("THE ROAD", "THE PROPOSITION") is attached to direct, and Christian Bale is in talks to star."
He also reveals that he wrote the current draft of ""MARTYRS"... a remake of the French horror film that I wrote for Wyck Godfrey (Temple/Hill) who's producing the Twilight films among others."
He also dropped the bomb on something super secret he's developing for FX guru-turned-director Patrick Tatopoulos.
"There's also an fantastic project I'm working on with Patrick Tatopoulos ("UNDERWORLD 3", "I, FRANKENSTEIN", "THE COLONY"). He'd kill me if I told anyone what it was about... it was Patrick's idea/vision, and I was just lucky enough that he asked me to do it with him. He's amazing."
Lastly there's a film called "TROUBLE", "a thriller that Bold Films ("THE HOLE") is making. Sidney Lumet and I worked on the script together, which was an amazing experience."
