Nick Palumbo's CORPSE - Redefining the zombie genre
Internet innovator Stephan Miller's Gunslinger Media and infamous Hollywood writer-director-producer Nick Palumbo's Fright Flix Productions announced a partnership to produce the highly controversial five million dollar horror film Corpse. Expected to receive an NC-17 for its extreme content, Corpse will be Palumbo's first new film since his horrific NC-17 feature Murder-Set-Pieces began shocking audiences three years ago. The maverick filmmaker describes the new multi-million dollar project as "a personal vision of the apocalypse. Just as 'Murder-Set-Pieces' took the slasher genre in new directions, 'Corpse' redefines the zombie film."
Palumbo is excited to have partnered with someone who shares both his vision and his approach to business. "I am very proud of my new partnership with Gunslinger Media. I have been looking for quite some time to find someone with the same sensibilities and work ethic. Stephan is a bold and visionary entrepreneur, and this is just the beginning of what I believe will be a lifelong partnership. When I presented Stephan with my ideas for 'Corpse,' he was very excited to be a part of what will surely be a groundbreaking horror film."
Gunslinger Media Founder and CEO Stephan Miller is equally pleased with the new alliance, observing, "Nick Palumbo is an extremely talented writer and director, and has a good business sense of the film industry, with an extreme focus on the horror genre."
Miller is no stranger to the film industry, having worked on such films as The Island of Dr. Moreau and Kevin Costner's The Postman as an exotic animal trainer before moving into independent production. Corpse has also attracted the attention and talents of special effects technician Vincent Guastini, whose resume includes Clint Eastwood’s Academy Award-winning Letters From Iwo Jima, Michael Mann's Oscar winner The Last Of The Mohicans, and Darren Aronofsky’s Academy Award-nominated Requiem For A Dream. New York Independent Film And Video Festival Award winner Brendan Flynt, who provided the stylish and disturbing images found in Murder-Set-Pieces, will be returning to the Palumbo fold to serve as Corpse's director of photography.
For an industry veteran like Gaustini, Corpse offers an opportunity to see his work shine in an unfettered, creative environment, free from the "filmmaking by committee" approach so often found in Hollywood. "I'm excited by the opportunity to work so closely with Nick. He's allowing me to create monsters with the same kind of freedom of expression Rob Bottin experienced working with John Carpenter on 'The Thing.' With Nick, I know my art will be seen in the film, and not on the cutting room floor."
The Corpse diaries will begin September 1st, 2007, with filming scheduled to commence in early December, 2007. The film is slated for a 2008 release.
