Entertainment has added two new pictures to its Cannes lineup
- The
Dark, the latest horror movie to emerge from Paul Anderson and
Jeremy Bolt's Impact Pictures via its financing deal with Constantin
Film and The Alibi, a contemporary thriller, which Summit is
co-financing and co-producing with Jim Stern's Endgame
Entertainment.
Canada's John Fawcett, who directed
the cult Canadian horror picture
Ginger Snaps, is directing The Dark for Impact. The film, scheduled
to
shoot in the Isle Of Man in July, is about a series of mysterious
occurrences that befall a young family living on the site of
a Welsh
abbatoir and haunted by the ghost of a child killed there.
