Second U.S. feature lined up
Undaunted by the fact that their U.S. feature debut Carriers was dumped by Paramount, the Pastor brothers, David and Alex, are moving forward on their next film Strange, But True.
More thriller and less horror is what this one is sounding like. The film is based on John Searles’ 2004 novel of the same name (his second) and was adapted by Searles and Eric Garcia.
Melissa Moody is the character at the heart of the story. She seems to believe she’s pregnant with the baby of her long dead boyfriend (like, five years “long dead”). Alex Pastor tells Variety the film is in the vein of Fargo and A Simple Plan.
Civil Dawn Pictures and Greenestreet Films will produce. Strange, But True probably won’t garner much more coverage here at Shock, but we thought you’d be interested in seeing where these brothers were turning their talents next.
