Something’s lurking in Cook’s Quarry
Two special effects vets are cooking up new films at Wiseacre Films.
Chris Walas, who’s been absent from the scene, is in line to direct Baby Zombies. The film recently popped up as a new listing on the IMDBPro which made us dig a bit further until we found this page which sports artwork and some more details. Walas last directed The Vagrant (remember the video box with a screaming Bill Paxton?) in ’92 and before that, the underrated The Fly II.
According to the Wiseacre site, he’s nurturing Baby Zombies with Ethan Wiley (House, House II: The Second Story). Here’s the rub: The listing on the site says the film begins production in April…of 2008. Yet, on the site’s news page, it says it will go into production this year. Either way, we’ll keep an eye on the film’s movements.
Also at Wiseacre are details about Randy Cook’s The Quarry. Now Cook, as we told you here, parted ways with a remake to The Gate last year. Again, Wiley is co-producing and writing, with Cook at the helm. The story concerns three slackers attempting to kill an aquatic creature in an abandoned quarry.
