With the Cannes film festival and market heating up, some casting news for the upcoming P.O.V., about a paralyzed woman fighting an evil presence, has arrived; and it includes a former Bond girl. Read on for the details!

From the Press Release:
Former Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe (Skyfall, 5 to 7, Terrence Malick’s upcoming Weightless) has been cast to star in Dennis Bartok’s (Trapped Ashes) English-language horror P.O.V.  Pre-sales are currently under way at the Cannes Marche with a number of deals under negotiation by Fortissimo Films. Fortissimo holds worldwide rights to the film (except Dutch-speaking Benelux).
 
P.O.V. follows the story of Dana Milgrom (Marlohe), a track coach who, having survived a near-death car accident, finds herself completely paralyzed and trapped inside her own body. While recovering, she becomes convinced that an evil presence exists inside her hospital room and is intent on killing her.  Believing her to be experiencing a mental breakdown, Dana’s family brush away her concerns.  Becoming increasingly terrified, Dana soon realizes that she may not be the only target.  Unable to leave her bed, she risks losing the ones she cares for most.
 
Principal photography for P.O.V. will begin later this year with filming taking place in Ireland and various locations around the UK. Bartok will direct from his own script, which was co-written with Tom Abrams. With the support of the Irish Film Board, Brendan McCarthy and John McDonnell will produce through their Ireland-based horror production outfit Fantastic Films along with Jan Doense and Herman Slagter of The Netherlands-based, genre-specific House of Netherhorror.
