Davide Melini, assistant director on Dario Argento’s Mother of Tears and a number of episodes of Penny Dreadful, along with a slew of horror shorts over the last 10 years has released a teaser for his upcoming film Lion, which is currently in post-production and slated for a Halloween release. Details on the project of sparse, but the synopsis given to HorrorBuzz by Melini is, “An isolated chalet in a snowy forest… A man blinded by alcohol… A woman unable to rebel… And an 8-year-old child troubled and dark… The silent night is broken with cries… the start of a terrible nightmare…” From the trailer, Lion is looking to be both brutal and stylish.
From producers that have worked on a diverse set of projects from Thor and the Harry Potter series to Titanic and Moulin Rouge, and shot with the very high end Red Epic Dragon 6K camera, Lion has both the funding and pedigree to be an incredibly polished and professional cinematic experience. Lion stars Pedro Sánchez, Michael Segal, and Tania Mercader. The official website can be found here. Be sure to stay up to date with all of the latest news on their IMDB Page, Facebook, and Twitter.
