There's a lot of stories going around about just how unruly Katherine Heigl can be, and it looks like she's bringing some of that to the big screen in the form of a ridiculous and terrible looking thriller called Home Sweet Hell. A red band trailer for the film has just surfaced, showing off the story of Don (Patrick Wilson) who seems to have the perfect marriage, life and house until a sexy young woman (Jordana Brewster) comes along, sleeps with him, and then blackmails him for money unless he tells his wife (Heigl) about the affair. Things get interesting, so to speak, when his wife decides to kill the tricky vixen. Watch? Here's the first red band trailer for Anthony Burns' Home Sweet Hell, originally from Yahoo: Home Sweet Hell is directed by Anthony Burns (Skateland) and written by relatively unknown writers Carlo Allen, Tom Lavagnino and Ted Elrick.

North of Hell

Director: Anthony Burns

Writer(s): Carlo Allen, Ted Elrick, Tom Lavagnino

Producer(s): Burns, A.J. Buckley, Jeff Culotta and Darko Ent.’s Sean McKittrick

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available

Cast: Katherine Heigl, Jordana Brewster, Patrick Wilson

2010′s Skateland, a Sundance Dramatic Comp entry played well in Park City and it found tlc support but the coming-of-ager didn’t find it’s audience when released theatrically so we’re hoping that Anthony Burns’ North of Hell (a dramedy with a little more acting clout) retains some of the filmmaker’s atmospheric prowess.

Gist: Based on a story by Carlo Allen, Ted Elrick and Tom Lavagnino, and scripted by Anthony Burns, this is about a seductive and scheming new hire causes dangerous problems for a businessman who is married to a bi-polar, obsessive-compulsive woman.

Release Date: With Sundance out of the equation, we now think this could land at Tribeca or Tiff.

We were big fans of Anthony Burns’ debut film, the visually strong coming-of-ager sans pretension and a nod to the Dazed and Confused sorts with just the right character set. Skateland deserved a little more fanfare than the one it got back in 2011, but Burns round two North of Hell, should receive a lot more fanfare with its cast alone. Pitting Patrick Wilson, Jordana Brewster, Kevin McKidd with Katherine Heigl, this dramedy began shooting in March-ish of this year…so we’re banking on this being already prepped for festival season.

North of Hell

Katherine Heigl and Patrick Wilson have joined "Skateland" director Anthony Burns' black comedy "North of Hell" at Darko Entertainment.

Based on a short story by Carlo Allen,...

Ready for her next big screen endeavor, Katherine Heigl is set to star in the dark comedy "North of Hell."

According to Deadline on Tuesday (March 26), the "Knocked Up" blonde will play the lead opposite of Patrick Wilson in the film about a businessman and his controlling wife.

The motion picture is based on a short story by Carlo Allen and will be written and directed by Anthony Burns.

Production for "North of Hell" is slated to begin next month in Louisiana.

Katherine Heigl and Patrick Wilson have signed on to star in North of Hell for Darko Entertainment and director Anthony Burns (Skateland).

The story centers on Don Champagne (Patrick Wilson), a successful businessman who seems to be living the good life. What most don't know, however, is his domineering wife (Katherine Heigl) viciously controls every aspect of his well-being.

Anthony Burns is directing from his own screenplay, which is based on an original story by Carlo Allen, Ted Elrick, and Tom Lavagnino. Darko Entertainment's Sean McKittrick and Jeff Culotta are producing alongside Anthony Burns and Aj Bowen.

Production is scheduled to begin next month in Louisiana.

Deadline is reporting that Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl have signed on to star in the dark comedy North of Hell for Dark Entertainment. In the film Wilson will play Don Champage, “a successful businessman who seems to have it all — including an obsessive wife (Heigl) who relentlessly controls everything in his life.”

Hmm… Heigl as an overbearing, bitchy type? Seems like typecasting to me. I try to avoid anything she’s in like the plague. That being said, Wilson is a solid lead and I usually enjoy his flicks, so I may have to check this one out.

North of Hell will be directed by Anthony Burns (Skateland), who will also be writing the screenplay based on a story by Carlo Allen, Ted Elrick & Tom Lavagnino.
