I really enjoyed Chris Alexander's BLOOD FOR IRINA, so news of this second collaboration between Alexander and Autonomy Pictures comes as great news!
My review of Blood for Irina is here.
(New York, NY – August 28, 2013)
Following the critical and
festival success of multiple-award winning experimental horror film BLOOD FOR
IRINA, Autonomy Pictures is proud to announce they will be producing Chris
Alexander’s next project, QUEEN OF BLOOD. The new film will further deconstruct
the vampire myth created in IRINA and will continue Alexander’s filmmaking
style of blending mood, startling imagery and original music all drenched in a
sea of deep red blood. The film is currently in pre-production and will be
released in Spring 2014.
"With my first film, which was an education in
filmmaking, I created an unconventional, mood piece tackling themes such as
death, birth, redemption, addiction and loneliness,” says director Chris
Alexander. “With QUEEN OF BLOOD, I will continue to expand on those
themes and fuse them into a Horror/Western hybrid which will make it a darker,
stranger and visceral film experience. I’m excited that I’m working with
Autonomy Pictures again as they give me complete creative freedom to bring my
vision to life."
QUEEN OF BLOOD follows the rebirth of Irina (once more
portrayed by Shauna Henry), who rises from the center of the Earth, ready to
bring a wave of death and madness to the battered wastelands of the Wild West.
A parasite who roams the alternately breathtaking and dangerous rural
landscape, Irina leaves of path of bloody destruction and victims as she aims
her sights on a young widow whose unborn child may hold the secret to Irina’s
longevity. Dark, erotic, beautiful and bizarre, QUEEN OF BLOOD will be an
immersive, horror dream and nightmare brought to vivid, violent life.
The film will also star horror art/music pioneer and Skinny
Puppy frontman Nivek Ogre with additional cast members announced soon. QUEEN
OF BLOOD is written by Chris Alexander, Editor-in-Chief of FANGORIA, who will
also direct and compose the film’s score. Costume design will be handled by
Toronto-based artist Alex Kavanagh, who has designed costumes for multiple
films including the SAW franchise (including parts of the elaborate death
traps), REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA and LAND OF THE DEAD.
