Filming is officially underway on the survival horror film The Red, a feature expansion of director Ryan Coonan’s 2014 short film Waterborne. This version of the story stars Tess Haubrich (Wolf Creek season 2) and Michael Biehn (The Terminator), with Haubrich taking on the role of
a young sheriff, obsessed with living up to her dead father’s legacy, who finds her mettle tested when locals are found ripped to shreds. She must finally face up to her past and work with her eccentric Vietnam veteran uncle (Biehn) to defeat the beast responsible for the murders before it kills everyone in town.
Haubrich and Biehn are joined in the cast by Angie Milliken (Elvis). It’s worth noting that Haubrich and Biehn are both Alien franchise alums, as Haubrich had a role in Alien: Covenant and Biehn was, of course, in Aliens.

Ahead of the UK premiere of Two Heads Creek, a playfully dark cannibal horror comedy, director Jesse O’Brien talks about the joys of cannibal karaoke, tackling immigration issues and filming in a haunted hotel.
How did Jordan Waller’s Two Heads Creek script end up in your hands and did you see it as more a family comedy than a cannibal gore-fest?
Producer Judd Tilyard and I were developing one of my own scripts, Inherit the Earth, which we thought would take a while to finance – and during that process he asked if I’d like to take a look at another script, which was then called Flesh and Blood. I read it with a sense of hesitation. Did I want my second film to be a cannibal horror comedy set in the outback? But from page one, Jordan Waller’s writing really leaped off the page. I knew immediately...

Jordan Waller in ‘Two Heads Creek.’
Producers Brett Thornquest, Steven Matusko and Mat Graham have launched Entertainment Advocate, an Australian distribution company with the aim of handling a limited number of Oz, Us and UK titles each year.
The banner’s debut release, Two Heads Creek, a macabre, irreverent horror comedy directed by Jesse O’Brien, opened last weekend after premiering at Monster Fest.
While the weekend gross was a modest $14,000 including festival screenings, Matusko, who is partnered with Thornquest in Eclectik Vision, tells If: “We understand the business and will approach distribution with a producer’s mindset rather than a distributor’s.
“We are not looking to outbid larger distribution companies but we want to work with other Australian producers and also to release select films from the UK and Us.”
Graham was one of the producers on Eclectik Vision’s Infini and The Osiris Child, both directed by Shane Abbess.

Based on the work of James O’Barr, shot over a single weekend, and featuring a ten year-old who does his own stunt work, director Judd L. Tilyard’s upcoming short film “Frame 137″ looks better than 90% of the action movies scheduled for release this year. I’ve watched the damned thing five times now, and can’t wait until I have unlimited access to the entire movie. There’s a plethora of information about Tilyard’s picture over at Vimeo, and I strongly encourage you to investigate the specifics for yourself. However, the insanely impressive trailer lurks below. Close your office door, turn up the volume, and let the cyberpunk-inspired martial arts mayhem wash over you. Unfortunately, that’s as big as the video gets unless you visit the official site.

There is a new villain in town, who breathes fire, kills with sword flashes or karate chops and he is only ten years. What is really horrifying is a post-apocalyptic world run by these tiny midgets known as children. This is exactly the premise of the science fiction short Frame 137, which has yet to announce a release date, or festival schedule. The small character Sam Ransom is based on James O'Barr's (The Crow) creation and the film has just been completed "after several years of development" (Frame 137). Have a look at the hard-hitting, action packed trailer for the film that shows Ransom and his martial arts prowess.
Release Date: Unknown.
Director: Judd Tilyard.

Do not mess with Sam Ransom. He may only be ten years old but he'll take you down. If the martial arts skills don't do it and the shotgun sticks he'll just breathe fire on you. Then he'll knock back a shot. This kid's a badass. Really. No stunt doubles in this, he does it all himself.
That's what I have learned from the trailer for Judd Tilyard's Frame 137, a short film adapted from a short comic by The Crow author James O'Barr. Reportedly in development for several years Tilyard is wrapping up post on the film now and it is looking rather good indeed. Check out the trailer below.

You gotta check this out! From ours friends at SlashFilm comes a teaser trailer for a new independent film called Frame 137, written and directed by Judd Tilyard. It's a sci-fi action film based on the work of James O'Barr, creator of The Crow, and made with his permission. It's kind of a punk, neo-noir, action flick and it looks interesting, to say the least. The craziest part is it's shot on the Red camera using a Lomo Anamorphic Lens which makes it look like it was shot Cinemascope, so it's extremely wide. It's based on a comic that first appeared in Dark Horse Presents and was expanded into a short before Tilyard turned it into a feature film. Watch the first teaser trailer for Judd Tilyard's Frame 137: You can also watch the Frame 137 teaser in High Definition on Vimeo Frame 137 is written & directed by Australian filmmaker Judd Tilyard,...

The kid in this Sci-Fi short film based on the work of James O’Barr (The Crow) is 10. All the ass kicking he does in the film is his own self, no stunt little people or others involved. Sam Ransom plays Jonny Z. Moms not around so Jonny fends for himself in any way he damn well pleases. It’s shot on that Red camera you’ve been hearing about. Looks awesome. Has a guy named Samppa Von Cyborg in it for god’s sake. I mean, please. Judd Tilyard directs. It’s cool so go watch it. Thanks Quiet Earth.
