When will his directorial debut street?
Audiences got hit with a particularly nasty indie picture this summer entitled The Collector from director and co-writer Marcus Dunstan (of the Saw) franchise.
After bouncing out of Dimension Films’ arms, the film found a home at Freestyle Releasing who gave it a limited theatrical run in July. The film made roughly triple its budget, a coup for Dunstan who is currently at work on the DVD release.
“I just turned in the chapter lists, such fine titles like ‘Beware of Dog,’ and ‘Beware of Arkin,'” he laughs. “They’re aiming for a January release and this month it’s all about getting the extras together. There are a bunch but I don’t want to put a boring scene in there because we cut it for a reason. Why don’t I put something that’s funny, cool or a mistake. Make it fun. The commentary is cool, too.”
If you missed it in theaters, the film tells of a thief who encounters a deadly home invader. Dunstan says he still has two sequels in mind. “We’ve thought up of a nasty end to the story and bam, that’s it.”
