SAVAGE DOG FILMS GO BACK TO
RELIGION
"Already being in production on the
anticipated gothic, horror film RIP CAGE, Savage Dog Films
brings you closer to the angels with
SERAPHIM"
Århus, Denmark - March 3, 2006.
Independent film producers Savage Dog Film & Digitals Ltd.
are currently mostly known for their religious and provocative
horror film, RIP CAGE. They are now trying to make another
production of theirs just as anticipated. "We're standing with
a story that I believe could interest just as many people as
Rip Cage, if not more", says Savage Dog filmmaker, Lennie
Overgaard.
He continues: "Originally, the story was
called CROWBARS and was about a group of people being
kidnapped and tortured. At some point I came to the conclusion
that it was too simple. We had been seeing films like that for
as long as I can remember. I had to change it".
He brought an idea to his good friend,
Christoffer Rosander, who loved what he heard and together
they came up with the final story.
"As a group of teenagers go camping in
the woods, they unexpectedly stumble upon a frightening find.
A skeleton with an unnatural resemblence of an
angel.
As the night
falls, everything goes awry and they find themselves waking up
with horrible scars everywhere. Body parts are missing and all
of their worst nightmares are starting to come
true.
Days pass by and
their chances of surviving decrease day by day. They are now
stuck on front row seats to experience the world come to an
unimaginable end. This won't stop until all of the demons have
been sent back to hell. An epic battle between good and evil,
which side are you on?"
The film is now called
SERAPHIM.
"The story really excites me. I have
never seen a Danish or Swedish film with this concept before.
I think we are all in for a hell of a ride", says Christoffer
Rosander.
Lennie Overgaard will co-direct with
Christoffer Rosander based on Lennie Overgaard's screenplay.
Shooting begins in June and Savage Dog has slated the
production for a late 2006 release. So far, only Lisa Jasmin
and John Falk have signed on to take two of the four leading
roles in the film.
Savage Dog Films and CallieWops will
co-produce SERAPHIM with Savage Dog's visual effects division,
Savage Dog Digitals, handling all of the digital magic that
this film involves.
