Guy Pearce Will Star in Fangoria's New Horror Film THE SEVENTH DAY Which is Described as TRAINING DAY Meets THE EXORCIST
Guy Pearce (Memento, Iron Man 3) is set to star in a new horror movie coming from Fangoria called The Seventh Day. The movie is said to be a mix of Training Day and The Exorcist.
The story follows a renowned exorcist who “teams up with a rookie priest for his first day of training. As they plunge deeper into hell on earth, the lines between good and evil blur, and their own demons emerge.”
Ok, I’ll bite! That sounds like a fun horror flick and you can’t go wrong with Guy Pearce in the lead role! The movie is being directed by Justin P. Lange from a script that he wrote. He said this in a statement:
“This is a story about the rising spread of a pervasive evil. We live in an increasingly dark world, one where it’s difficult to know who to trust, or what to believe. It’s a scary time, and scary times call for scary movies.
“Guy Pearce is an extraordinary talent – that rare combination of bona fide movie star and consummate artist. I can’t wait for audiences to see what he has in store for them with this role.”
Dallas Sonnier (Dragged Across Concrete) and Amanda Presmyk (VFW) are producing for Cinestate and Fangoria. Kimberly Hwang (Lucky) and Chelsea Davenport are also producing. Voltage Pictures CEO Nicolas Chartier and President and COO Jonathan Deckter are executive producing, alongside Adam Donaghey (A Ghost Story), Phil Nobile Jr (Horror Noire) and Danielle Cox (The Standoff at Sparrow Creek).
The movie will begin production in January 2020
