Principal photography on Vincenzo Natali’s (Splice, Cube) new feature, Haunter, from Copperheart Entertainment, starring Abigail Breslin (Zombieland, Rango, Little Miss Sunshine), Stephen McHattie (300, Watchmen, Immortals), Peter Outerbridge (Silent Hill: Revelation, Lucky Number Slevin), Michelle Nolden (RED, The Time Traveler’s Wife) and David Hewlett (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) has begun.
Haunter, directed by Vincenzo Natali from a screenplay written by Brian King (Cypher, Night Train), is produced by Steven Hoban (Splice, “The Ginger Snaps” trilogy), and co-produced by Mark Smith. Principal photography will run from April 16 until May 19, 2012 in Toronto and Brantford. The film’s release is slated for 2013.
In this reverse ghost story, teenage Lisa (Breslin) and her family died in 1986 under sinister circumstances but remain trapped in their house, unable to move on. Lisa must reach out from beyond the grave to help her present-day, living counterpart, Olivia, avoid the same fate Lisa and her family suffered.
“‘Haunter’ vividly demonstrates that even ghosts have a lot to be afraid of. Brian King’s script constructs a Borgian Labyrinth out of the most mundane settings and shows us how even in our everyday lives, we are spirits living in the material world,” says Natali.
