The other day we reported the great news that J. T. Petty had been signed on to bring new life to the long-thought-dead Faces of Death franchise. We dropped a line to J. T. to find out just what he thought about the project and what he hopes to see happen with it.
“It’s a license that doesn’t limit me story-wise at all, since the original has so little narrative,” he told us. “And there’s no way anybody would ever ask you to make a PG-13 movie called Faces of Death. Or try to force you into a three-act structure focusing on pretty teenagers. So far Angry and Rogue both have talked like they’re completely committed to a hard, strange film. Should be exciting!”
In all honesty when the project was first mentioned a few months back, I immediately thought the potential for bad was legion, but with a talent like J. T. at the helm, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Petty also gave us a quick update on The Burrorwers, the movie he’s been attached to make with Lionsgate for a few years now. “I’m still marching steadily towards Burrowers,” he confirmed. “I’m definitely shooting it next year!” A few months back we heard that Almost Human was working on some monsters for the film, which will be a horror movie set in the Wild West that has been described as Alien meets The Searchers. Now that sure is an interesting combination!
