Doug Jones and Dee Wallace Join the Horror Movie Project IF IT BLEEDS
Horror legends Doug Jones (Hellboy) and Dee Wallace (E.T.) have joined the cast of the upcoming horror movie If It Bleeds. The project is described as “an anthology-style crime thriller.” They join the previously cast Catherine Corcoran and Justin Miles.
The film follows “Diane Winters (Catherine Corcoran) and her cameraman Simon (Justin Miles), as they uncover a mysterious series of gruesome murders that unfold throughout the course of a chaotic and violent day. As events unfold, the duo become players in a sinister situation even more menacing than either one could have imagined.”
The movie comes from Matthew Hersh who is making his feature directorial debut. Night of the Missing director Samuel Gonzalez Jr. will also direct a segment.
Hersh said in a statement: ”To have so many genre greats believe in me and trust me with the story I wanted to tell with this film at such an early stage of my career was truly surreal. I figured what better way to dive into the horror genre than through the eyes of a news reporter in the field seeing and facing the horrors of humanity unfold in front of her very own eyes.”
Corcoran added: “Ever a champion of independent filmmakers, I was thrilled when Matthew invited me to come along on this next phase of his creative journey. Diane’s story is universal in that we all have the need to be seen and valued, and I can’t wait for the world to see how our incredible cast and crew bring that theme to life.”
Jones said: “Getting to play a quirky cosmetic surgeon was a treat enough for me. But under Mathew Hersh’s careful direction and witty writing, that treat was sweetened all the more. Add to that the professional, efficient crew, the joy of acting opposite the thoughtful and hilarious Krsy Fox, and this filming experience was dang near perfect.”
