Director Simon Rumley has a lot on his plate lately, and for horror fans that's a very good thing. Two more projects have recently been announced via the magic of the interwebs, and we've got the scoop on both! Dig it!

From the Press Release
Red-hot Brit indie filmmaker Simon Rumley is set to helm Stranger, a thriller chase movie located in the heart of rural China. Inspired by Duel, the Rumley-penned script is produced by Mark Foligno (The King's Speech) and Bob Portal (Red White & Blue). Casting begins this week, and filming is expected to begin early 2012.

As his much praised psycho-sexual thriller Red White & Blue (distributed by Trinity) opens in the UK this Friday, Rumley reveals that he is also attached to a project that will see a return to the geography that gave Red White & Blue its visual identity.

Set in Texas, The Cherished One is a disturbing and dark thriller about a serial killer who uses his young daughter to entice his victims. Written by Lena Rae, it is produced by Ray and Matt Marshall of Festivals Films.
