The cast has been revealed for Lake Vernon, a new psychological thriller movie that's in the works. Among the cast members is Tommy Wiseau, the eccentric filmmaker and actor best known for his unforgettable performance in the 2003 movie The Room.

Per Variety, Lake Vernon will feature Wiseau as part of the ensemble cast, joined by former NFL star Vernon Davis (The Ritual Killer), Malcolm Goodwin (Reacher), David Anders (The Vampire Diaries), Olivia Grace Applegate (Love and Death), and Andrea Sixtos (Arrow). The cast members are currently filming the movie in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Lake Vernon comes form a story by Davis and Tiffany Toney, while director Aaron Jay Rome (End Trip) co-wrote the screenplay with Isaiah Laborde. Davis is also serving as a producer on the project for Real 85 Productions, joined by Rome and Laborde. Additionally, Davis is also executive producing. Oscar-winning editor Scott Conrad (Rocky) will edit the movie.

Filming is underway in Louisiana on the new psychological horror movie Lake Vernon, and Variety has announced the cast this morning.

Former NFL star turned filmmaker Vernon Davis (The Ritual Killer) produces and stars in the film alongside Malcolm Goodwin (“Reacher”), David Anders (“The Vampire Diaries”), Olivia Grace Applegate (“Love and Death”), Andrea Sixtos (“Arrow”) and Tommy Wiseau (Big Shark).

Not only does Davis star and produce, but Lake Vernon is adapted from a story by Davis and Tiffany Toney. The story was adapted for the screen by director Aaron Jay Rome and writer/producer Isaiah Laborde.

In the film, “Old wounds resurface when a fractured group of friends reunites for a weekend retreat at an exclusive lakeside sanctuary,” the film’s official logline reads. “As buried tensions and unspoken betrayals bubble to the surface, the lake itself seems to be listening — watching — offering impossible miracles at a cost none of them understand.

Josh Hutcherson and Morgan Freeman learn how to travel through time in the first trailer for 57 Seconds. The upcoming science fiction adventure from Highland Film Group is directed by Rusty Cundieff (Tales from the Hood), and is coming to theaters and in September.

Time travel has always been an interesting subject for movies and tv shows to explore, and it's been present in mainstream and independent projects since always. But the most interesting thing about Cundieff's new film is that the time travel experience is limited to 57 seconds, so how much can actually be changed in that little time? A lot, apparently.

Hutcherson and Freeman will be joined by Lovie Simone, Greg Germann, Sammi Rotibi, Lucius Baston, and Aaron Jay Rome in this action-packed adventure. Here's the official synopsis and trailer:

"Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby) star in this heart-racing action thriller.

Time is a precious thing. We’re all at the mercy of its perpetual rhythm and are helpless against its march toward oblivion. Still, what if someone invented a device to help you change the past? What would you do if you could return to nearly a minute before you made a critical mistake? What’s to stop you from succeeding at everything you do? Can you resist the urge to undo every misstep along your life’s journey? Franklin Fausti is about to find out in the new 57 Seconds trailer.

Rusty Cundieff directs from a script he co-wrote with Macon Blair, based on a short story entitled “Lucifer” by E.C. Tubb. The story revolves around a tech blogger (Hutcherson) discovering a time-altering device. He unleashes its power to rewrite the past and seek revenge against the ruthless corporate empire that destroyed his family. But his actions soon trigger a terrifying chain of events,...

[Note: With the film finally getting a DVD release, from Terror Films, here’s a repost of our review – from way back in 2018 – of Aaron Rome’s fantastic End Trip]

A movie focusing entirely on an Uber (or URyde as it is here) driver doesn’t exactly sound like the most interesting of ideas. And explaining that it’s a bit of a twisted horror movie might make that sound better or worse. But that’s the clearest explanation I can give for End Trip.

For the first half (and more) of End Trip we are basically in a car with its driver and the passengers he picks up. After the first few we meet a man who tells the driver (Brandon) to take him wherever he wants to go. He wants to get out of the house he...

There are a lot of people within the horror community right now who grew up watching absolutely gonzo insane horror films like Re-animator, Evil Dead 2, and Frankenhooker, which actually came out in 1990 but whatever. These are wild, anarchic films that at the time formed a subversive little bubble trapped within the soup of 1980's normality. Now, decades later, as we find ourselves in a culture that has become homogenized in a way that we haven't seen since the 1980's, there is a lot of nostalgia for these kinds of films.

This nostalgia has led to a wave of 1980's throwback films,...
