Mane Entertainment’s Latest Feature, COMPOUND FRACTURE, Now Filming Featuring A Horror Icon-Filled Cast.

 

BREAK-OUT FILM DIRECTORIAL DEBUT – A.J. RICKERT-EPSTEIN

 

HOLLYWOOD, CA (January 27, 2012) – The first supernatural-thriller to come from Mane Entertainment sports a who’s who of killers. Led by Tyler Mane (Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN and HALLOWEEN 2, DEVILS REJECTS), COMPOUND FRACTURE also stars Derek Mears (Jason in FRIDAY THE 13^th [2009], THE HILLS HAVE EYES ) and Muse Watson (Ben Willis in I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER).

 

“We’ve got three iconic horror killers in our film. I’m trying to create a perfect storm, here,” says Mane Entertainment’s Tyler Mane. “People have been asking for a Michael vs. Jason with Derek and myself for a while now. Well, they’re getting it, just without the masks! I’m also looking forward to reuniting with Leslie Easterbrook on this. I had a great time with her on THE DEVIL’S REJECTS.”

 

COMPOUND FRACTURE, written by Renae Geerlings and Tyler Mane will be directed by A.J. Rickert-Epstein. The cast also includes Dan Roebuck, Todd Farmer, Renae Geerlings, Alex Saxon, and Susan Angelo. In it, a shattered family with an ailing patriarch must heal old wounds in order to escape a high-tech compound haunted by the vengeful ghost of their past.

 

Mane says, “I’m excited to get the opportunity to shoot this in LA. For a time, we were going to film it out of the country, but with so much business going out of town I didn’t feel good about it. The location and crews we were able to get locally were so much better for us.”

Mane Entertainment, LLC is a new, Los Angeles-based production company formed by Tyler Mane, with the goal of producing high quality, moderately budgeted films to create the best return on investment. For more information on the company, or how to become involved, see www.ManeEntertainment.com.

As if a new Nick Cage movie isn’t bad enough the end times must be near as Jennifer Aniston has a new movie with Paul Rudd, I cant wait to be bombarded with more Brad Pitt tales of woe.

Another month another Nicolas Cage film, At least this time he has Guy Pearce to lend some credibility to the project. I am starting to feel bad for the guy, last year he made five movies three were released(Season of the Witch, Trespass and Drive Angry) and judging from the box office 2 people watched them.

From the band that created a musical revolution and a legion of fans across the world, comes LIVING BREATHING FILMS–a new Film and Television Production Company specializing in mystery, suspense, horror and the dark side of life.

A collaboration between the Grammy-winning Slipknot visionary and percussionist M. SHAWN CRAHAN and Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman COREY TAYLOR–LIVING BREATHING FILMS is heading to the Sundance Film Festival to announce projects on tap in 2012.

“We’re heading to Sundance to connect with the industry since we’re now actively looking for TV and Film submissions,” SHAWN states (see submission info below). The company’s first film is already in development with COREY and SHAWN, both of whom are giving input to the script. TAYLOR promises, “It’ll be very psychological. It’s a study in ‘Did my eyes see what I think they saw?’ It’s definitely going to stir the pot and get the world talking. Those are the best movies.”

SHAWN and COREY are renowned worldwide as part of the visually macabre multi-platinum, Grammy-winning nine-piece group Slipknot–one of the biggest hard rock bands in the world. TAYLOR who is also the dynamic lead-singer for the multiplatinum group Stone Sour became a bestselling author last year with his debut Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good. The book spent four weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers Chart and fiveweeks on the Times of London’s Bestsellers Chart. Helming numerous documentaries on the group including Voliminal: Inside the Nine (2006), Nine: The Making of “All Hope Is Gone” (2008), (sic)nesess (2010), and Goat (2011), CRAHAN co-directed all of Slipknot’s music videos, and the band’s acclaimed short film for “Snuff” from their fourth album All Hope Is Gone in 2009. The 6-minute noir video for “Snuff” features legendary actor Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) while COREY stars in the enigmatic clip which has garnered over 14 million views on YouTube. It was only a matter of time before they properly formed a production entity.

Slipknot now has over 11 Million Facebook fans eagerly waiting to devour their art, music, videos, written word and vision. With a history of subverting the mainstream and their connection to a younger generation of film fans that are ready to be exhilarated by movies again, 2012 is the start of LIVING BREATHING FILMS, and the beginning of a new chapter in film history.

“We’ve done it before–we’re equipped to do it again,” SHAWN says. “Sit back and enjoy the next level of our art and vision.”

LIVING BREATHING FILMS is now actively looking for TV and FILM project submissions. To submit directly for consideration, email: LBF@livingbreathingfilms.com
