"I love gore."
You don't hear those words spoken by actresses very often, especially during interviews, but when it comes to Spain's Leticia Dolera, star of this week's VOD release Rec 3: Genesis, you know you are in good company.
The actress, who appeared in 2009's Imago Mortis, plays Clara, a new bride whose wedding reception takes a bloody turn when an outbreak - akin to the vicious infection that spread in the first two Rec entries - occurs. She's split from her man and spends the rest of the film running from the possessed undead, wielding a chainsaw and doing a fair share of ass kicking.
We were given a chance to speak with Dolera today via phone to discuss the sequel and discovered she's not only a genre fan, but a filmmaker in her own right. Read on for our candid discussion.

Back in February Italian director Stefano Bessoni (Imago Mortis) passed us a first look at the creature effects for his upcoming feature Krokodyle. True to Bessoni's regular form, they were bizarre, fantastical things and now we get to see them in motion. The first trailer for Bessoni's latest has just gone live and while it starts off very much like a character drama, just wait: The fantasy elements, including the creature effects, kick in just past the two minute mark.

Italian genre director Stefano Bessoni has received a lot of coverage in these pages over the past few years. The core of it was his film Imago Mortis, an international production developed first with Richard Stanley then with Luis Berdejo, and though that film ended up being a misfire for a few reasons we were left very much impressed with Bessoni's unique, troubling and very compelling visual aesthetic.
Well, Bessoni is back with a film entirely different in approach - as you'll see below - but still loaded with those unique visuals. A project developed to be the antithesis of the heavy scheduled, lots-of-fingers-in-the-pie experience of making Imago Mortis, the upcoming Krokodyle is meant to be a collaborative experiment, one that will continue to morph and change perhaps even after theatrical release. Here's the synopsis:

The new Spanish one-sheet surfaced this morning for the Stefano Bessoni shocker Imago Mortis, and it seemingly fits the tone of the film perfectly.
There are still no official plans for a Us release, but we're keeping our ears to the ground! Check out the poster after the break courtesy of Aullidos, and then dig on the trailers below courtesy of Twitch Film!
Synopsis:
They say that in the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim's eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person's retinas. He named this technique 'thanatography'. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema.

Stefano Bessoni’s Imago Mortis is a film that we’ve been tracking for a good long time around these parts. From the producers of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage and the script writer of [Rec], Bessoni’s film follows a college student who stumbles across a secret society obsessed with capturing images of death through the eyes of the dying - and isn’t afraid to kill to get them. We ran the italian trailer for the film some time back but with a Spanish release coming in July we now have a Spanish trailer as well. And, as an added perk, Bessoni has also passed along design sketches from his next film - the upcoming Galgenlieder, based on the Song of the Gallows by Christian Morgenstern.

The more tasty tidbits we get of Stefano Bessoni’s upcoming film Imago Mortis the more we want to see it. And now we have a Behind the Scenes video to share with you. Even just the contrast between the finished film and the video is enough to demonstrate how high quality the end product is and how Good this film looks on even the smallest of screens. Beautiful. You can find it with the other videos related to this film after the jump…
The film tracks a young man, living in the aftermath of tragedy, who runs afoul of a bizarre cult operating within the faculty of his university, a cult practicing a sort of retinal photography to try and capture a photograph of the human soul. Of course, to photograph a soul leaving a body you first need to know when the soul will leave and the easiest...

I don’t often drop a lot of names when talking about films but in the case of Stefano Bessoni’s Imago Mortis - a film we began writing about in these pages two years ago, now, when the first production sketches appeared - it’s got such a crazy-impressive pedigree that it’d be foolish not to. Ready? Here we go: An early draft of the script wa written by Dust Devil director Richard Stanley. It shares producers with Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage. And the final draft of the shooting script? That’s by Luis Berdejo, who is currently in post production on his own feature directorial debut - The New Daughter, with Kevin Costner - and also wrote a little Spanish zombie film you may have heard of called [Rec]. You know, only the most successful European horror film of the last few years. So names, this has got.

It is said that, back in the days before photography was a mainstay of the world at large, early practitioners of the art attempted to use a form of it to capture human souls. Of course, the only time the soul could be captured was when it was leaving its host body, and the only way that could happen is death, so said practitioners were not what one would call well regarded.
Such is the storyline of Imago Mortis, the new feature from Stefano Bessoni. An early draft of the script was penned by Dust Devil/Hardware mastermind Richard Stanley, and the final version was written by Luis Berdejo, who wrote Rec and directed the upcoming Kevin Costner horror film The New Daughter. I would call that cred, wouldn't you?
On your right is the first poster for the film, and a trailer for Imago Mortis has finally surfaced online.

Finally, the first trailer for Stefano Bessoni's upcoming macabre masterpiece Imago Mortis has been spotted, and I'm happy to report that it totally lives up to some of the more insane production images that have been circulating for the past year.
They say that in the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images. He discovered that by killing a victim and removing the victim's eyeballs, it was possible to reproduce on paper the last image imprinted on that person's retinas. He named this technique 'thanatography'. Today, the same kind of gruesome ritual and abominable crime recurs within the walls of an international school of cinema.
I'd recommend watching the trailer and then browsing the film's Production Blog for more background. Thanks to Styd for having such keen eyeballs.

If there was ever news that rolled in slower than a snail, it would be that regarding Stefano Bessoni’s Imago Mortis.
As with previous updates on this project, Twitch pointed us in the direction of Bessoni's blog where a new series of images, both production and storyboard, appeared. Gruesome, disturbing and beautiful are the only ways to describe them. The wait for Imago Mortis may be hard, but these stills do continue to whet the appetite.
In case you forgot, here's what Imago Mortis will be about when we finally get to check it out; "They say that in the 1600s, long before the invention of photography, a scientist named Girolamo Fumagalli was obsessed with the idea of reproducing images.

We’ve been writing about Stefano Bessoni’s Imago Mortis in these pages for a good long time now, drawn in first by the fact that Richard Stanley was credited for an early version of the script, then by the fact that Luis Alejandro Berdejo - whose shorts we are huge fans of and who is currently wrapping up his debut feature - wo-wrote the shooting script, and then by the fact that the first stills released showcased a deliciously gothic approach to horror. Well, things have been quiet for a good while now but the film is nearing the end of post production and Bessoni has just posted a series of stills and their corresponding storyboard sketches to his blog for comparison purposes and they’re looking fantastically nasty.
