The 16 second teaser was fun... who doesn't like Jack the Ripper?
Here's the press release...
“SLASH” filming begins this summer in New Mexico
“SLASH”, a SAG feature film starring Maria Olsen (Percy
Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Paranormal Activity 3,
American Horror Story), Todd Farmer (Jason X, My Bloody Valentine, Drive
Angry), Gibby Haynes (lead singer of Butthole Surfers) and including several
cameos by A-List actors, will be filming in New Mexico for four weeks.
SLASH is a story about young people who see their friends
butchered around them. They must deal with each other’s violent fantasies and
face their own demons...or die trying!
The writer/director/producer Rycke Foreman and producer/actress
Maria Olsen (of MOnsterworks66)
are using Sheryl Roberts to do the Principal Casting. A casting call will
be held in New Mexico in April and the production will begin in late June. The
film will employ a crew of at least 85, a cast of 25 to 30 speaking roles, and
approximately 350 background players. A vast majority of both will be New
Mexico hires.
Currently, the attached crew consists of such notables as
Rich E. Cordobes (Special FX: Lord of the Rings trilogy, Transformers), Steve
R. Moore (Visual FX: Avatar, Titanic) and Peter Devaney Flanagan (Editor:
Scream, Hellboy 2). More crew members are needed to fill production
requirements. The film will employ a crew of a minimum of 85. For more information
on being considered for the crew, please get in touch with Lora Carlson,
producer, at lora@slashflick.com.
Rycke Foreman has worked in virtually all aspects of
independent film, television and theatre for more than fifteen years around the
Four Corners area. In 2009, he optioned a horror spoof to a small production
company in Hollywood, and was part of the writing/producing team behind the
multi-award winning short film “Auto Care,” shot later that year for the
National Film Challenge. Another award-winning short he co-produced was “Locked
Away,” winning the Remi award at Houston WorldFest. He has published short
fiction since the early 90s, appearing in dozens of publications such as Marion
Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine and 69 Flavors of Paranoia, which he edits.
Best known for her appearances as Mrs. Dodds/The Fury in
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, as well as Paranormal
Activity 3, American Horror Story and Rob Zombie’s Lords of Salem, Maria Olsen
has worked on more than 40 feature films and over 70 shorts since 2005. She has
also won four awards (including awards for both acting and directing), had
two short films appear at the 2009 Cannes Short Film Program, one at the
2010 Sundance Film Festival, plus others at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors
and HorrorFest. Olsen also owns MOnsterworks66, producer of features such as
Brandon Scullion’s Live in Fear, Randal Kamradt Jr’s Faraway, Eric Michael
Kochmer’s Way Down In Chinatown, Bert Havird’s Reunion and Michael LaPointe’s
LoveTouchHate.
