The Show Must Go On: Shakespearean Slasher THE LURKER Begins Filming
Filming has begun on a new theatrical – in every sense of the word – horror slasher, The Lurker.
The film stars Scout Taylor-Compton, who’s proven herself an emerging genre actress thanks to turns in the surprisingly-capable Halloween and Halloween II remakes. The rest of the cast is a varied sprinkle of genre mainstays, including Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story: Freak Show), Adam Huss (Power), and even the legendary Ari Lehman, who played the very first Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th. The cast also includes Domenica Cameron-Scorsese, whose father Martin you may have heard of (and who had a small role in 1991’s Cape Feare). Also stars is Rikki Lee Travolta, who is not related to John, but thought he was (it’s a fascinating story. Do a Google).
The Lurker centers around on a high school production of Romeo and Juliet. When students and faculty alike are hunted down by a savage killer, it’s up to the cast to find out who’s forcing them to make their final curtain call. We can only hope the film is better than 2015’s high school play horror The Gallows, but the genre pedigree of its actors (and its neat, Shakespearean paperback-inspired poster, below) is something to be optimistic about.
The Lurker is directed by Eric Liberacki as his first feature, and written and produced by John Lerchen of Forever Safe Productions. Other producers include; Wynona Ying Li, Jake Bloom, Silva Shots’ Nicolas Silva, and FFIILLMM’s Michael Monachos.
Prinicipal photography began November 28th and is taking place in or around the Chicago area, shot dual-cam with Arri Digital Cinema Cameras. |No release date as of yet. Break a leg, guys!
