Put the lotion in the basket!
Earlier this month we introduced y’all to a drug-based horror number called THE BANSHEE CHAPTER, which is being produced by STAR TREK’s Zachary Quinto. With that initial missive came the news that the film, a debut effort from Blair Erickson, was gearing up to shoot later this month in New Mexico. Well, here’s the first three actors headed to the desert…
From an official presser, stars Ted Levine (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, right), Katia Winter (below) and Michael McMillan (THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2) have all joined THE BANSHEE CHAPTER.
Also written by Erickson – THE BANSHEE CHAPTER centers on a young, female journalist (Winter) who follows the mysterious trail of a missing friend (McMillian) that had been experimenting with mind-altering chemicals developed in secret government drug tests. Levine plays the role of a rogue counter-culture novelist with a penchant for substance abuse and firearms who leads the journalist into the mystery of dangerous chemical research. A fast-paced blend of fact and fiction, the film is based on real documents, actual test subject testimony, and uncovered secrets about programs run by the CIA.
As it nears filming, expect a lot more on THE BANSHEE CHAPTER in the near future.
