Larry Fessenden Continues Raid

Posted by dominie in Films, Reviews on September 29th, 2008

Last Friday night on Fangoria Radio, Larry Fessenden revealed that Glass Eye Pix has teamed up with the players behind Mulberry Street (Jim Mickle) to produce a new movie titled Stake Land.  The project will be distinct from Glass Eye Pix’s new partnership with Dark Sky Films (announced here) last week.

If you didn’t already deduce it from the title, yes, Stake Land is about vampires. Nothing more has been revealed about the plot yet, but Fessenden promises that the new movie will “do for bloodsuckers what Mulberry did for zombies—reinvent them in a gritty urban setting.”

Many of Mulberry Street’s cast and crew will be reuniting for Stake Land, including Nick Damici, who will star and co-write the project with director Jim Mickle.  Lensing begins this November in New York.

No word if Fessenden will also play a part in Stake Land yet.  As if the man isn’t taking on this and multiple projects with Dark Sky Films already, the actor-producer hinted that he is talking to Hollywood big shots about making a major studio debut as director.
