Leading
British film producer Julie Baines, whose company previously made such films as
CREEP, SEVERANCE and TRIANGLE, is now planning the ultimate London horror
movie. BLOODY LONDON will show the capital as it's never been seen before, as
it spins its terrifying tale of a taxi driver who discovers what really happens
when the sun goes down...
Julie
Baines describes it as "a very original horror movie that's not just scary
but also moving - it's like a horror version of Tarantino's PULP FICTION,
because it tells several interlocking stories taking place over one night in
London." BLOODY LONDON is being directed by some of the UK's leading
horror directors, including Tom Shankland (RIPPER STREET, THE CHILDREN), Johnny
Kevorkian (THE DISAPPEARED) and Steven Sheil, director of the highly
controversial MUM AND DAD.
Special
make-up effects will be by Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning Nick Dudman, whose
credits include STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES and HARRY POTTER. The film's executive
producer is Alan Jones, the UK's leading authority on horror films and
co-founder of leading European film festival Frightfest, which takes place in
Leicester Square every August. Alan Jones comments, "Over my 40 years in
the film industry I have been asked many times to become involved in films as a
producer but I have always said no - until now. It was the many qualities of
BLOODY LONDON that made me decide that this was something I really wanted to
get involved in."
BLOODY
LONDON will be the first in a series of horror films, with future films to
include BLOODY PARIS, BLOODY NEW YORK and BLOODY BANGKOK. So this could be the
birth of a new film franchise - in the greatest capital city in the world.
BLOODY
LONDON's producers are also launching a competition to find London's creepiest
stories, so would like to ask LONDON LIVE viewers to let them know - what is
the scariest thing that's ever happened to you in London? You may have quite a
few to choose from!
The
producers are currently closing the finance for the film and are working with the
crowd funding platform Seedrs - if you want to get involved and grab a piece of
