Last week, Dread brought you the first full trailer for Marc Martínez Jordán’s upcoming home invasion/slasher shocker, Framed, which was showcased as part of the Sitges Film Festival “Coming Soon” section. Said trailer was followed by a just as promising proof of concept teaser for Marc Carreté‘s (Asmodexia) upcoming extraterrestrial shocker, After the Lethargy.
Pitched as a monster movie, most of which will take place in the thick of the woods, After the Lethargy finds the local police force confirming the presence of a “code 86” in the National Park. Despite initial skepticism, everything suggests that some kind of beast – of origin unknown – may have woken up from its “lethargy.”
This, Carreté’s second feature, is set to begin principal photography in March, 2017, and will be filmed entirely in English. Clearly confident in the crew he’s worked with on previous occasions, Carreté will reunite with the same team responsible for his first short and also 2014’s Asmodexia, including DoP Xavi Garriga, Art Director Llorenç Mas and Special Makeup Effects Director Mónica Murguía.
Whilst the whole cast isn’t quite in place, confirmed names thus far include Mark Schardan and Nikol Kollars, two North American actors who feature in the teaser below, playing police partners, and Catalan actor José García Ruíz who will play the aforementioned mysterious creature about to awake from a long slumber.
Both Framed and After the Lethargy will release under Carreté’s own newly-founded genre banner Creatures of the Dark which will follow a private investment and co-production strategy.
We’ll leave you with the teaser trailer for After the Lethargy below and, in case you missed it, you can also catch the first full trailer for Creatures of the Dark’s Framed right here.
