Quick links/Discussed in this episode:
The Saragossa Manuscript (1965): Discussion begins. Read the Canonically Weird entry! Yellow Veil becomes the first to release Jerry Garcia’s favorite film on Blu-ray for an American audience. Buy The Saragossa Manuscript.
Shadow Work (202?): Discussion begins. This upcoming release arises out of the Annecy residency, which pairs up and coming animators with older mentors—in this case, screenwriter Patrick Somerville and director Marc Caro—to develop their projects. It will be a psychological horror about a doppelganger, rendered in uncanny motion-capture. Read about it at Variety.
The Shrouds (est. 2024): Discussion begins. In late June, Vincent Cassel posted on Instagram that the shoot of David Cronenberg‘s latest horror film had wrapped. Little is known about it except that Cassell stars as a businessman who runs a service allowing grieving families to watch the bodies of their loved ones decompose on closed circuit television, but criminals vandalize the graves. Reported in multiple places, but we first read about it at Bloody Disgusting.
The Waves of Madness (est. 2024): Discussion begins. On an earlier Pod 366, Jason Trost mentioned his plans for a single-take side-scrolling Lovecraftian horror (listen to Trost’s comments here); he quickly launched an Indiegogo campaign which quickly met its modest goal (and you can still donate and get those cool perks through today, July 7).
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
As Giles Edwards prepares to head off to the 2023 Fantasia Film festival in late July, next week’s Pod 366 will preview what he will be looking for there; festival programmer Jacob Klemmer will join us for insider insights into the slate. In written reviews, Giles will investigate one that Came from the Reader-Suggested Queue with Harlequin [AKA Deadly Forces] (1980); Shane Wilson takes a second look at the spiraling Uzumaki (2000); El Rob Hubbard reports on the Criterion Collection edition of INLAND EMPIRE; and Gregory J. Smalley will cover the new release front with a look at the French anime Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. Onward and weirdward!
