After Dark Films: Prowl

Posted by Sapphire Neal on March 13, 2011

PROWL CREEPS CENTER STAGE AS ONE OF EIGHT FILMS IN THE NEW
“AFTER DARK ORIGINALS” SLATE

Los Angeles, CA (March 30, 2010) — After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon
announced the first of eight movies in the AFTER DARK ORIGINALS series in
partnership with Lionsgate & Syfy, and in association with Dobre Films. A new take on
a classic creature, PROWL is written by Tim Tori (Hysteria, Trespassers) and directed
by Patrik Syversen (Manhunt). Bruce Payne (Bernard), Courtney Hope (Amber), and
Saxon Trainor (Veronica) star.

“Amber dreams of escaping her small town and persuades her friends to accompany
her apartment-hunting in the big city. When their transportation breaks down, Amber
and friends gratefully accept a ride in the back of a semi. But when the driver refuses to
stop and they discover the cargo is cartons of blood, they panic. Soon, panic turns to
terror when the truck disgorges into a dark, abandoned warehouse where blood-thirsty
creatures learn to hunt human prey, which the friends realize is what they have now
become…”

Prowl was Executive Produced by Courtney Solomon and produced by Chris Milburn,
Borislav Ranghelov, Lucy Mukerjee, Michael Klein, Christopher D’Elia & Zachary Bryan
as a United Kingdom/Bulgarian co-production.

After Dark Films: Fertile Ground

Posted by Sapphire Neal on February 27, 2011

AFTER DARK FILMS ANNOUNCES NEXT ORIGINAL TITLE
FIFTH TITLE, FERTILE GROUND, IS ROOTED IN FEAR AND GHOSTLY FANTASY

Los Angeles, CA (August 20, 2010) — After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon continues the
momentum of After Dark Originals “A New Brand of Fear” with his announcement of the bonechilling
5th film, Fertile Ground. Writer/Director Adam Gierasch (Autopsy, Night of the Demons)
co-wrote this film together with Jace Anderson. The film stars Leisha Hailey (The L Word) and
Gale Harold (Queer as Folk, Desperate Housewives).

Emily and Nate Weaver leave the city for the rural comfort of Nate’s ancestral home in the
country. Once there, Emily is plagued by horrifying visions and haunted by the ghosts
inhabiting their isolated new home. When Nate’s behavior undergoes a strange and fearful
metamorphous, Emily fears she might be the latest target in a murderous tradition.

Producer Solomon states, “Leisha Hailey is completely convincing as a woman in peril. As the
plot thickens, twists and surprises unfold that keep the viewer engaged and in constant
suspense.”

AFTER DARK FILMS ANNOUNCES FOURTH FILM OF NEW SERIES
THE TASK TAKES TO REALITY AS THE LATEST “AFTER DARK ORIGINALS” FILM

Los Angeles, CA (April 26, 2010) — After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon announces The
Task as Film #4 in the AFTER DARK ORIGINALS series, in partnership with Lionsgate and
Syfy. This gritty film, written by Kenny Yakkel (Exorcism Diaries, Dead Air), stars Texas Battle
(Final Destination 3), Alexandra Staden (Basic Instinct 2), and Jonas Talkington (Harpies).

Something diabolical is taking place on the set of The Task, a new reality show in which players
complete terrifying missions within the confines of an abandoned prison hoping to win a hefty
cash prize. As six young students explore their new environment, malicious spirits make their
presence known in the most gruesome ways imaginable. Unable to escape the labyrinthine
prison, the contestants become unwitting pawns caught at the center of a blood-soaked night of
terror.

“We are all xenophobic to some degree”, says Solomon. “The question this film really poses is,
‘Does anyone have the guts or strength to face those fears with blind faith, without knowing
what lay on the other side’”.

AFTER DARK FILMS ANNOUNCES: SECONDS APART

Posted by Emerian Rich on December 11, 2010


AFTER DARK FILMS ANNOUNCES SEVENTH ORIGINAL TITLE
SECONDS APART PACKS A TERRIFYING ONE-TWO PUNCH

Los Angeles, CA (Dec. 9th, 2010) — After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon has announced, SECONDS APART, as part of the After Dark Originals “A New Brand of Fear” line-up. The film is directed by award winning short-film director Antonio Negret (Towards Darkness) and stars Orlando Jones (Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, Evolution) and twins Gary Entin (Rest Stop, The Seeker) & Edmund Entin (Rest Stop, The Seeker, The New Daughter).

Seth and Jonah are murderous twins who share an evil kinship. Damned from the moment of their births, the brothers possess a talent for telekinesis – a power they are suspected of misusing in the most horrific ways imaginable. As fellow students meet gory fates, a local investigator suspects the twins are connected to these gruesome murders, culminating in one final showdown of brother against brother, evil against evil.

Says Producer Courtney Solomon, “Everyone’s heard about that creepy ‘twin thing.’” You just can’t under-estimate the power of twins, and this film is seasoned by the exceptional performances of Gary and Edmund Entin”.

Seconds Apart, from Executive Producers Courtney Solomon and Stephanie Caleb, was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A release date for Seconds Apart and all eight Originals is scheduled for late January 2011. The series was developed in partnership with Lionsgate. Exclusive content can be found on facebook at www.facebook.com/secondsapartmovie 

After Dark Films made an unprecedented commitment to the production of eight original horror films this year under the After Dark Originals “A New Brand of Fear” label, continuing the Company’s mission of supporting first time independent film writers and directors. The creation
of the AD Originals slate is just another example of the Company’s commitment to the indie film industry.

Unlike After Dark’s “8 Films To Die For®”, After Dark Originals are wholly financed and produced by After Dark Films. The ADO slate runs the gamut of the genre, from paranormal phenomena, black magic, and vengeful ghosts to psychological trauma, murderous psychopaths, vampires and the undead. After Dark polled its fans and is delivering the kinds of movies they asked for!
