Screen Daily has revealed the cast for Werner Herzog’s next directorial effort, the horror film My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? The movie marks Herzog’s first collaboration with fellow screen maverick David Lynch, who serves as executive producer.
Michael Shannon, the Bug star (pictured) who’s currently up for an Oscar for Revolutionary Road, Shadow Of The Vampire’s Willem Dafoe, Sisters’ Chloe Sevigny, Fango fave Udo Kier and Lynch-film regular Grace Zabriskie will star in My Son, which Eric Bassett is producing. The movie is inspired by a true case in which a San Diego man, obsessed by a Sophocles play, murdered his mother with a sword. “I always wanted to make a horror film, but not with bloody axes and chainsaws,” Herzog tells the trade, though he previously dabbled in the genre with Nosferatu The Vampyre and the mockumentary Incident At Loch Ness.

I personally hated Douglas Buck's remake of Sisters, which is why I'm not all that excited for his next project, The Broken Imago. It's also a tough subject to cover, man vs nature, even Jamie Blanks failed with his remake of Long Weekend, which I had high expectations for. If you click over to Bdtv you can watch a very early teaser trailer for Imago, which looks so-so, what do you think? A vengeful nature has unleashed a powerful virus from the worlds diminishing rainforests. Transmitted through air and touch, the virus physically assaults the doomed infected, violently twisting their bodies into strange intolerable shapes.

Metaluna Productions gave Fango the tip that the teaser trailer for director Douglas Buck’s new project The Broken Imago is now on-line. You can check it out by going to the project’s page here.
Scripted by Buck, whose previous credits include the Family Portraits trilogy of short shockers and the Sisters remake, and currently in development under Metaluna produces Fabrice Lambot and Jean-Pierre Putters, The Broken Imago is an ecological horror film in which nature strikes back against mankind by unleashing a virus that disfigures its victims. The story is set on a remote island where the residents of a Catholic boarding school discover that only the adults are dying—and (as seen in the very creepy teaser) the environment has the local children on its side. We’ll keep you posted on any further developments regarding this ambitious project.

While Douglas Buck's Sisters remake seems to have split audiences around me (you can write your own reviews here), Buck is hard at work on his next feature film, The Broken Imago, which we first talked about here. Now, just in time for next month's Afm, Metaluna Pictures has released early sales art for the film that follows man vs nature. A vengeful nature has unleashed a powerful virus from the worlds diminishing rainforests. Transmitted through air and touch, the virus physically assaults the doomed infected, violently twisting their bodies into strange intolerable shapes. Within weeks of the first reported outbreaks, the members of an elite Catholic boarding school on a remote island lose communication with the outside world. Facing the terrible possibility of the end of the world, they begin to struggle amongst themselves. The virus hits and they realize they were wrong. Civilization isnt ending.

Douglas Buck, director of Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America and the Sisters remake, is less than confident in mankind’s ongoing destructive relationship with mother earth. His in-the-works opus The Broken Imago has the earmarks of a terrifying new entry in a subgenre of increasing relevance, the Eco-Horror film. The Broken Imago is about a deadly virus of apocalyptic proportions that wipes pretty much everyone off the face of the Earth, leaving in its wake an evolutionary transformation that will make it very difficult for man to ever devolve back into what we collectively represent in these modern, environmentally destructive times.
Mass scale global hysteria is not specifically what Douglas Buck is most interested in capturing – Imago offers a more myopic apocalypse through how things play out in a remote Catholic boarding school in the jungle. The school is one of the last bastions unaffected by the virus, but when it hits,...

The teaser was shot in Super 35mm (scope) in Argentina on June 1-3 and is currently in post production. A vengeful nature has unleashed a powerful virus from the worlds diminishing rainforests. Transmitted through air and touch, the virus physically assaults the doomed infected, violently twisting their bodies into strange intolerable shapes. Within weeks of the first reported outbreaks, the members of an elite Catholic boarding school on a remote island lose communication with the outside world. Facing the terrible possibility of the end of the world, they begin to struggle amongst themselves. The virus hits and they realize they were wrong. Civilization isnt ending. Only the adults are dying.
