We touched briefly in July on Boogeyman director Stephen Kay’s return to the big screen in the upcoming thriller, Cell 213, about a criminal defense attorney who gets framed for a murder and lands himself a home in the South River State Penitentiary. He soon finds himself in a menacing nightmare.
According to Bloody-Disgusting, principle photography is currently taking place in Toronto, Canada under Toronto based production company Access Motion Pictures. Eric Balfour (Text Chainsaw Massacre, Hell Ride), Michael Rooker (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), and Deborah Valente will star in the horror thriller.
In a short interview, Kay commented on prepping for the film. “There’s a certain inherent ‘horror’ in a prison itself. Our goal is to keep the fear and claustrophobia of the real prison life and add to it a deep, psychological terror. The more honest we can keep this world, the more compelling the horror will be. This is a ‘haunted house’ that you really can’t run from.”
Access Motion Pictures was founded in 2007. The production company strives to produces pictures that “showcase compelling stories for a worldwide audience.” They currently have an ambitious slate for fall 2009 that will feature Frankie and Alice, a psychological thriller starring Halle Berry.
