Exclusive: Mimesis Director Douglas Schulze Takes on ‘The Dark Below’

While Douglas Schulze is working on a sequel to Mimesis, we've heard that he has an additional project in the works that will begin production later this month. Titled "The Dark Below," this movie is billed as an "experimental thriller" with a storyline that is being kept a secret.

What we do know is that the movie takes place on Lake Michigan and a majority of it will occur underwater. Production starts at the end of February, although filming will span the entire year in phases due to weather requirements. The film is being shot on the Red Epic and will utilize special underwater camera rigging for photography.

The cast is still being assembled, but the first person to officially join is Lauren Shafer (Mimesis). Douglas Schulze will direct from a script he co-wrote with Jonathan D'Ambrosio. Ambrosio will produce along with former Sony pictures VP Kathryn McDermott (Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2) and Kurt Mayry (Dark Fields, Mimesis).

Although the movie has not been officially announced and we're bringing you the first details, expect much more information in the coming months. To keep up with The Dark Below, visit:
