Elvis Presley's own granddaughter Riley Keough (pictured above) is attached to star in WOLVERINE HOTEL, a crime-horror film that is being shopped at AFM at the moment. Jean-Guy Després is producing and Patricia Chica will direct.
Written by Andrew Lynch, Wolverine Hotel is inspired by the real-life characters that the author encountered at the tail of his hard drug days while living in a skid row inn, struggling to keep his shattered life from slipping between the cracks. A supernatural element added to the proceedings is, presumably, fictitious.
The story delves into the gritty, realistic underground world of three lowlife drug addicts trapped in a dark muck of their own creation, which ultimately results in their complete destruction.
“The supernatural twist and message of 'heeding the warning signs before all is lost' is what this film is really about”, says Lynch, the screenwriter.
Director Patricia Chica is recognized internationally for her multiple award-winning genre films notably Day Before Yesterday, The Promise, Rockabilly 514 and most recently Ceramic Tango.
