Ghost House Pictures To Produce Alien Invasion Film
 

Variety Reports that Ghost House Pictures Will Produce Alien Invasion Film...

Raimi will produce with Ghost House partner Tapert, with Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison also to be involved in producing capacities. Kahane will exec produce.


That an unknown could put himself on the map by placing his film on the Internet shows how much the Hollywood landscape is changing and how hungry financiers and studios are to find a filmmaker who may deliver the next "Paranormal Activity," "District 9" or "Twilight."

While the Thanksgiving weekend results for star-driven films like "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock show that name talent is still key, Alvarez's short conjured up a high-concept, visually intriguing pic that can be made for a small budget with no gross players by a filmmaker who can plug into a youthful demographic.

Ghost House deal gives Alvarez the opportunity to make his Hollywood debut that is godfathered by Raimi in a mentoring role similar to the one that Peter Jackson played in Neill Blomkamp's directing debut on "District 9," an under-$30 million film that's grossed over $180 million worldwide.
