Here’s something that many of you might not be aware of. Waaay back in February of this year, Eric Walkuski wrote that a little Italian horror flick was in the works courtesy of E1 Entertainment. What makes this puppy a little special is that it will be the first Italian film to be filmed in 3D. So you can imagine this to be a big deal in the land of pasta. The said film is titled HIDDEN 3D and will be about an abandoned experimental medical center that harbors a deadly secret that only becomes known when a restoration project begins.
So far you guys catching on? Good.
The film was also said to star Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni who frequently worked on Dario Argento’s films and directed by Mariano Baino. The whole cast was actually a pretty tough troop and so expectations were high until…
Bloody-Disgusting first blew wind on the matter. It seems a few mysterious changes have popped up that are not boding a good omen for the film. BD reports: Antoine Thomas stepped into the director’s chair, replacing Mariano Baino (who wrote the screenplay, yet for some reason isn’t being credited). Sean Clement (“Fringe”), Simonetta Solder, Jordan Hayes (House at the End of the Street), Jason Blicker, Bjanka Murgel have all been cast in the film now in post-production. The English-language horror/thriller is about an abandoned experimental medical center that harbors a deadly secret. It only becomes known when a restoration project begins. Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni (pictured below), who you might remember from Demons 2, Terror at the Opera and Dario Argento’s The Phantom of the Opera, is no longer listed on IMDB as writer or star.
The question is why the sudden changes even when the film is well into post-production? Will there be re-shoots since a new director is at the helm? Why the f*ck would you discredit Coraline Cataldi-Tassoni? Whatever the reason it seems Italy’s first 3D film is off to a very rocky start. It won’t be too long until execs take notice and decide a different path for the film. What kind of a backlash are we expecting here folks? What would’ve been an interesting flick (even in 3D) just isn’t making it. Questa fa schifo!
Even Denise Richards is begging you to get your shit together.
