With Darren Lynn Bousman’s 11 11 11 now filming in Barcelona, Spain, you can expect all sorts of goodies to be heading your way to keep you in tune with the production. First up – some nifty concept art.

Timothy Gibbs (Witchboard 2), Michael Landes (Final Destination 2, Possession), Wendy Glenn (“Nip/Tuck”), Lluis Soler, Ángela Rosal, Brendan Price (Dagon), Salomé Jimenez, Benjamin Cook, and Montse Alcoverro will all be starring in this tale of religious horror gone straight to hell.

The concept is based on the 11:11 phenomenon, whereby in the 11th month of the year 2011 at 11h 11m, the eleventh door will open and supernatural entities will enter the Earth. Such a creepy and mysterious theory of numerology assures that the 11 is a warning from celestial entities who throughout history have tried to communicate with humans. A gripping story full of tension and psychological terror centered on the lives of three people affected by this strange and terrifying event.

The shooting of this new exciting project by who is currently the favorite horror film director among the fledgling boom of horror film directors, and who has been installed in Barcelona from December, 2010, begins on January the 17th and will be released worldwide on November the 11th of 2011 (11/11/11). The shoot will involve scenes particularly scary in that spectacular special FX are concerned, meticulously designed, that undoubtedly will leave the audience horrified by its gripping images. Such spectacular scenes will be happening over the months of January and February in various locations in Barcelona and its surroundings, a city that has been chosen as a favorite by many directors when locating their films.

The film is set in New York and Barcelona with scenes ranging from sequences that depict claustrophobic and psychological disturbing situations to others where a more graphic kind of horror takes over as in classic horror films. Scenes of great aesthetic appeal that reflect one of the paradigms which Bousman is in search of: “a reflection of the great terrifying abyss facing man, the fear of the unknown and loneliness”, as Bousman declared in one of his interviews shortly after moving to Barcelona from Los Angeles.
