Exclusive: UK feature to be directed by vfx supervisor Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull.
Previsualization is underway on producers Parkgate Entertainment and Iam Entertainment’s UK sci-fi thriller Origin Unknown, set to be directed by vfx supervisor Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull.
Set in the not-too distant future of space exploration, Origin Unknown will follow a mission controller investigating a mysterious object that has appeared on Mars. As he gets close to unravelling the mystery with the support of an artificial intelligence called Rainn, he soon realizes there is something much bigger at play.
Screenplay comes from Gary Hall based on a story by Dulull, who worked on The Dark Knight as part of the previsualization team and Hellboy II: The Golden Army as digital compositor.
The film is being financed by private investors.
Origin Unknown is one of four on the slate of Parkgate (Dementamania) producers Anis Shlewet and James T Ryan, who are also in development on The Reprise (dir. Chris Turner...

Dementamania follows a well groomed and obsessive senior software analyst Edward Arkham (Sam Robertson) who’s constantly caught between reality and his imagination, where he takes out all the anger and frustration on people like his backstabbing manager or his annoying co-workers. One morning, he meets Nicholas Lemarchand (Vincent Regan), who tells Edward that he’s a mediator, but as the hallucinations get worse for him through the day, Edward starts seeing him Nicholas more and more in unexpected places, and when security footage suggests the mediator doesn’t even exist, Edward starts to get more and more suspicious of the strange man whilst falling further and further into his twisted imagination.

Having premiered at last years Frightfest, Dementamania is set for release next month. The film, directed by Kit Ryan and written by Anis Shlewet, follows a frustrated office worker who finds himself caught between the realms of his deranged imagination and the mundane reality of his everyday existence.
Frustrated with the social injustice he faces everyday and the bureaucratic culture of the office where he works, Edward Arkham (Samuel Robertson) is at boiling point. Although a successful analyst with a leading It consultancy, years of routine have taken their toll, and the unbearable daily monotony fuels his frustration and bitterness. When Edward is stung by a mysterious bug, it results in a painful and aggressive rash which unlocks the door to a secret world inside his head causing nightmarish fantasies to manifest themselves within vivid hallucinations. As the rash spreads and threatens to envelop his entire body, his visions become...

The Dyatlov Pass Incident
Written by Vikram Weet
Directed by Renny Harlin
USA, 2013
The contest between scepticism and belief in the supernatural is a reliable means of drawing out a narrative before any sort of big reveal. It’s a dynamic through which the television classic The X-Files operated, featuring the passionate Fox Mulder, who worked to convince cohort Dana Scully of “the truth.” Around this back-and-forth between two audience surrogates situates the dubious involvement of man: how much do the higher-ups truly know about what is going on, and what are they keeping from us?
Renny Harlin’s The Dyatlov Pass Incident borrows a few of these tricks. Its fictional found-footage accompanies a group of five American hikers into the Ural Mountains as they retrace the steps of nine souls who died in mysterious, real-life circumstances some 50 years ago. Hypothermia, avalanches, and other possible causes of death have since been ruled out,...
