Exclusive pics, comments on THE GREEN MONSTER

News - Film News

Scripter Trevor Wright gave Fango a couple of exclusive pics (see ’em below) from THE GREEN MONSTER, a new indie chiller he wrote and co-produced. Bryan Roberts and Nolan Bell directed the Untold Horror/Screamkings Productions movie.

greenmonsternews1“THE GREEN MONSTER is my first solo screenwriting feature, following my co-writing work on Pete Jacelone’s SCULPTURE,” Wright tells us. “It originally began as a short film. I wanted to explore the problem of young women who give birth and then throw their babies away. Bryan and Nolan over at Untold Horror got their hands on the script and wanted to expand it into a feature, but that was something I really had no interest in doing. I felt that it functioned well as a short piece, and didn’t want to make an hour and a half of depressing social commentary.”

Instead, that brief screenplay became the feature’s opening sequence, and the rest became what Wright describes as “a gory horror/comedy in the vein of ’80s cult classics like MOTEL HELL and BLOOD DINER. The bulk of the story now concerns husband-and-wife convenience-store owners played by the wonderfully talented Edward X. Young and Colleen Cohan, both from the Tom Savini/Ingrid Pitt film SEA OF DUST. They use black magic and cannibalism to terrorize rich kids from a neighboring town. These kids come to their store to have sex, do drugs and, yes, throw babies away in their dumpster. Obviously, this is bad for their business.

greenmonsternews2“We wanted to make a funny, bloody horror flick—no torture porn, no self-referential gags, no cheap CGI,” Wright continues. “Sure, there are moments that may offend some people, but being as outlandish and as controversial as we could be was not the goal. Going that route would have just cheapened the story. We hope this is the kind of film that horror fans watch and think, ‘Who can I show this to next?’ Rewatchability—that’s the true test of a successful horror flick. We were blessed with an amazing cast and crew and two wonderful directors, who really brought the script to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined.”

CAMP SLAUGHTER and FRAT HOUSE MASSACRE director Alex Pucci and Jacelone also produced, and David S. Szehi, Young and Nikki Coleman creating the FX; the cast also includes Bethany Taylor, Nathaniel Silva, Beatrice Strobl, Kachina Dechert, Megan Sacco, Bryan Lombardo, Andrew Cordio, Phoebe French and SCULPTURE’s Marv Blauvelt. Release is scheduled for later this year, following festival play. “I just wanted to add that my next film, depending on financing, is STRONGER THAN DEATH, which I wrote based on a story by Marv. He will also star alongside many genre names who have expressed strong verbal commitments: Raine Brown, Susan Adriensen, Jeff Dylan Graham, Justin Alvarez, David Gilke and Alan Rowe Kelly, who will also serve as director. We’ve been getting very positive feedback on the script and just wanted to get that out there for any potential investors!”

    This trailer looks fantastic! Edward X. Young is really DISTURBING! I predict this film will have a high "rewatchability" factor! Now how do I get to see it here in Los Angeles???
