“Celebrity is a mask…and you can’t take it off.“
Donnie Darko fav James Duval takes on two roles in the 80’s throwback Beast Mode, directed by Chris W. Freeman & Spain Willingham.
“Beast Mode follows a has-been Hollywood producer who turns to an ancient herbal elixir to save his career after he accidentally kills his lead star. His pact unleashes a band of bloodthirsty shape-shifting beasts on LA.”
In the sales trailer, you can see Duval being turned into an on-set monster that wreaks havoc on the entire crew that includes Leslie Easterbrook (The Devil’s Rejects), Ray Wise (“Twin Peaks”, Dead End, The Lazarus Effect), C. Thomas Howell (The Hitcher), and James Hong (Big Trouble in Little China).
It was previously reported by ScreenDaily that UK-based genre sales outfit Devilworks has taken world rights to the film ahead of the online Marché du Film (June 22-26).
Freeman and Willingham co-produce with Aaron Scotti, who co-wrote the script with Drew Fortune.
