Rodrigo Cortés is Ready to Emergo

Emergo! No, not that gimmick from William Castle’s House on Haunted Hill in which an inflatable skeleton was sent flying over theatre-goers heads, though that was supremely cool. We’re talking about the next film from Buried director Rodrigo Cortés!

According to Variety Rodrigo Cortés is writing a supernatural script for award-winning shorts director Carles Torrens, entitled Emergo – an Italian phrase meaning “to come out, or appear.” The story focuses on a team of high-tech para-psychologists who investigate strange goings-on in a newly occupied apartment. When the group attempts to make contact with the other side, their interactions grow increasingly dangerous.

Cortés is also writing and directing a different supernatural horror flick, Red Lights, which is set to come out in 2012. Look for more on both of these projects soon.
