Joe Cornet, the director of Gunfight at Rio Bravo and its upcoming sequel, and producer Alexander Nevsky (Black Rose) just finished working on their first horror movie, Night of the Caregiver, which will be screened and presented for international distributors by Paul Hertzberg’s BD Films at the American Film Market in November. With that event quickly approaching, Cornet and Nevsky are already assembling their next project, a serial killer thriller called Kaleidoscope – and we’re proud to share the EXCLUSIVE news that Bai Ling of The Crow is in talks to star in the film!
Ling will be taking on the role of “a mysterious beautiful woman who may or may not be a serial killer“.
Cornet will be directing Kaleidoscope from a screenplay he wrote with Kent Hill. Nevsky is producing the film, with Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart) serving as executive producer. Pre-production is underway in Los Angeles.
Ling will be joined in the cast by Tatiana Neva (Executor), Sarah French (The Amityville Murders), and Cornet himself.
Cornet provided the following statement:
“It is my pleasure to announce my next film will be Kaleidoscope, a murder mystery thriller set in 1960s LA. The film will star Bai Ling and I will be directing from my original screenplay. I am thrilled to be working with Bai, whom I have admired for some time. The story concerns duplicity, double-crosses, false identities and, of course, murder. I have long wanted to direct a film of this type as an homage to some of the classic thrillers but with a modern sensibility. Think of Alfred Hitchcock meets Paul Verhoeven! I know this one will grab the audience in the first frame!“
Bai Ling starring in a Hitchcock / Verhoeven-esque serial killer thriller that’s set in the 1960s and is directed by Joe Cornet sounds like a great time to us. How does Kaleidoscope sound to you? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
