Starlet and Runaways star Stella Maeve is set to play the female lead in Dark Summer, a supernatural thriller from Grace director Paul Solet and screenwriter Mike Le. Production on the Preferred Film & TV project begins this fall.

Synopsis reads:

A highly stylized modern ghost story, Dark Summer follows Daniel Williamson, a 17-year-old on house arrest for the summer. With his mother away on business, a horrifying incident occurs, followed by an even more terrifying presence in the house.

Maeve is coming off the cancelled CBS cop show “Golden Boy” and a star-making turn as a hothead porn star in Sean Baker’s indie drama Starlet. Horror creds include the MTV teen-slasher My Super Psycho Sweet 16: Part 2, the sci-fi thriller Cloned: The Recreator Chronicles and the upcoming Charles Manson followers biopic Manson Girls.

Maeve is best known, however, for her portrayal of drummer Sandy West in the 2010 film The Runaways.

IFC Midnight has released a trailer for director Renny Harlin’s Devil’s Pass, a fact-based survival thriller that finds a group of students heading out to the Ural mountains to investigate the 1959 Dyatlov Pass Incident, where nine Russian skiers died under mysterious, and some say supernatural, circumstances.

Harlin said:

I was fascinated by this story, which remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of modern paranormal lore. The facts, the script, and the very dramatic setting convinced me that there is a thrilling movie there, just waiting to rivet audiences.

Aiding in said riveting will be British model-turned-actress Gemma Atkinson (pictured). The busty (34-E!!!) stunner made her horror debut in the 2012 werewolf thriller Night Wolf, and starred in the in-flight frightener Airborne that same year.

Peep it:

Anchor Bay has set an Oct. 7 release date for DVD and Blu-ray editions of Steven R. Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave 2, a sequel to his 2010 remake of the controversial 1978 Meir Zarchi rape-revenge thriller. The film is penned by Thomas Fenton (Saw IV, Chain Letter) and Neil Elman (Mongolian Death Worm).

I Spit On Your Grave 2 stars Jemma Dallender (”Hollyoaks”) as an aspiring model lured to a photo shoot in New York to be raped, tortured and taken to a foreign country where she endures more horrors before being buried alive and left to die. The film’s world premiere will be held at this year’s Film4 Frightfest in London.

Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave starred newcomer Sarah Butler as Jennifer Hill, a young novelist on a mission to maim, dismember, and murder the men who brutally and repeatedly raped her while on holiday in the woods. The film grossed just under $100,000 in its limited theatrical run, but was a hit on home video.
