Early details on new vamp flick in development
Josef Rusnak is attached to direct The Bleeding, a film that holds no relation to The Bleeding released earlier this year on DVD.
This film, set against the backdrop of World War II, tells of an American spy on assignment in Romania who stumbles upon a dark secret that the inhabitants of the region have hidden for centuries. The lesser of two evils is questioned when he infiltrates a small unit of German SS soldiers who encounter a mysterious enemy while fighting partisans in The Carpathian Mountains…vampires.
Rusnak previously helmed The Thirteenth Floor and the It’s Alive remake. He’s currently in post-production on Beyond, starring Jon Voight and Teri Polo. Beyond follows a detective who teams with a tabloid psychic to track down a missing child.
The Bleeding is based on a short story by Bram Stoker Award-nominated William R. Trotter entitled “The Bleeding of Hauptmann Gehlen.” Jeremy Wall (The Objective) optioned the script written by John and Paul Buckholts. Wall is produce with Corina Danckwerts.
