We're less than two weeks away from seeing David Gelb's THE LAZARUS EFFECT arrive in theaters and today we've got a look at the magic of filmmaking with some B-roll footage from the making of the film. It's a cool look at the behind the scenes shenanigans and special effects that we'll be seeing onscreen when THE LAZARUS EFFECT attempts to raise the dead (and some decent box office numbers) on February 27.
From masters of horror Blumhouse Productions—producer of THE PURGE, INSIDIOUS and SINISTER franchises—THE LAZARUS EFFECT follows…
…a group of researchers led by Frank (Mark Duplass) and his fiancée Zoe (Olivia Wilde,) who've achieved the unimaginable- bringing the dead back to life. After a successful, yet unsanctioned, trial on a newly deceased animal, the team is ready to unveil their breakthrough to the world. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is unexpectedly shut down and their materials confiscated.
Frank, Zoe and their team (Donald Glover, Sarah Bolger and Evan Peters) take matters into their own hands, launching a rogue attempt to recreate their experiment, during which things go terribly wrong and one of their own, Zoe, is horrifically killed. Fueled by terror and grief, Frank pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test subject.
Directed by David Gelb, THE LAZARUS EFFECT stars Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Donald Glover, Evan Peters and Sarah Bolger, and opens in theaters on February 27th.
