Right
off the heels of Academy Award Nominated Producer Stewart Benjamin acquiring
his post-apocalyptic suspense film, ‘Something in the Dark’, writer Ryan Toyama sells
another high-concept horror script. This time he teams up with the producers of
‘Captured’ (2013), JP Ouellette and Dylan Matlock, to bring his newest project,
‘Do Not Watch’, to the big screen.
While
specific plot details are tightly under wraps, ‘Do Not Watch’ aims to turn
found footage horror on its head. The film reinvents the genre as it delves
into the depths of the human psyche, showcasing the effects of reckless
curiosity and the uncontrollable madness that follows.
Producer
JP Ouellette stated, “All I can say is, ‘Do Not Watch’ will live up to its
title. You’ll wish you heeded the warning -- This is evil personified. No doubt
the most terrifying script I’ve ever read.”
This
production will feature some of the best new talent, as well as one major film
icon to play himself in this uniquely Hollywood horror story.
Shooting
commences on February 18th in Los Angeles, and due to the new
filming style, a large portion of the film’s rough cut will be completed
on-set. “It’s quite exciting,” producer Dylan Matlock said, “dealing with the
energetic process that involves post-production to occur simultaneously with
production.”
What
is truly amazing about this new filming technique is that ‘Do Not Watch’ will
be ready for screens late Summer/early Fall, the same time ‘Captured’ is set
for its release, making it a very frightening time for movie lovers to enter
the theatre.
