Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures and Warner Home Video have announced a new project that sounds pretty cool ... if you're a hardcore horror geek, of course. Production is already underway in Romania on The Hills Run Red, which according to The Hollywood Reporter, is about "a film fanatic whose obsession with finding a complete print of an infamous slasher movie leads him and two friends into the backwoods where the film was shot. They realize too late that filming never ended -- and now they must survive a nightmarish onslaught or become part of the movie forever."OK, so it sounds like a pretty conventional horror plot in some ways, but here's some good news: The flick will star not only character actor extraordinaire Bill Sadler -- but also the mega-mega-sexy Sophie Monk. (Oh, and Tad Hilgenbrink, soon to be seen in The Lost Boys: The Tribe.) The Hills screenplay comes from award-winning genre specialist David J. Schow, which I consider pretty good news, and the multi-hatted Dave Parker will direct. For more on this project, check out the THR article right here -- and Bloody-Disgusting's initial report from last April right here. And to see why I just drooled over Sophie Monk, click right here.
(Thanks to this site for the awesome Bill Sadler pic. Oh, he's the actor who played Death in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey? "Damn right!")
1. I've had a real appreciation for Sadler ever since watching him try to maintain his sanity during that clusterf*ck Project Greenlight mess "Battle of Shaker Heights."
