A trailer has gone online for the indie Canadian thriller Dead Rivalry. Directed by Garret Henry and written by Jeremy Thornhill, the film is inspired by the crimes of serial killer Edmund Kemper, dubbed the Coed Killer after slaughtering six female hitchhikers during 1972-1973.
If that isn’t fucked up enough to whet your interest, the plot synopsis offers up a wicked twist:
Two serial killers end up in the same car on an old deserted road. Brendan, hitchhikes and kills the people who pick him up, while Winston picks up hitchhikers to torture and murder them.
Dead Rivalry stars Evan Stern, Stephen Davis, Mark Buck, Jon Ambrose, and stunner Alysa King (pictured above). Keep up with the film by following its Facebook and Twitter pages.
Australian model-turned-actress Courtney Eaton is set to play the female lead in Summit Entertainment’s Gods of Egypt, an epic fantasy adventure from Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow). Eaton joins co-stars Gerard Butler (300), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones”), Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent) and Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean).
Penned by writing duo Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold), Gods of Egypt follows Bek, a young Egyptian thief (Thwaites) out to kill the mad god Set (Butler) when Horus (Coster-Waldau), son of murdered underworld deity Osiris, fails to avenge the death. According to THR, Eaton plays the slave girl Bek is smitten by.
