American Gods actor Orlando Jones has been hired by Lexicon to star in the supernatural/psychological horror movie Dark Forces. The film will be directed by Anthony O’Brien from a screenplay co-scribed by Lexicon co-founders, producers Mark Mathias Sayre and Justin Foia.
Synopsis:
Dark Forces is a horror film that pays homage to its many sub-genres: While recovering from brain surgery at a rehabilitation center, acclaimed monster movie director Jerry Graves (Jones) becomes haunted by the ghastly creatures and grisly scenes of his own horror films.
“It’s a huge honor to be directing Dark Forces in and of itself, but to have Orlando Jones as the lead is beyond thrilling,” says O’Brien. “Building the film around him was the easiest decision I could make. Orlando’s multi-talented and intellectually stimulating performances speak for themselves; his turn as ‘Mr. Nancy’ on STARZ’ American Gods provides a perfect example of this. His contribution to Dark Forces will allow the audience to experience
“I love the mixed bag of emotions scary movies evoke,” O’Brien continues. “Dark Forces explores the thin veneer of civility that keeps the repressed monsters inside all of us at bay. We sincerely hope audiences set their inner demons free while viewing. Viva La Horror.”
