It is definitely an exciting time as a film fan to see the Western genre back in a major way in all its forms (horror, thriller, drama). Brimstone, written and directed by Martin Koolhoven, premiered last September at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), but now we all can get a glimpse at the film in its official trailer.
From the Press Release: LOS ANGELES – Oct. 20, 2016 – Momentum Pictures announced today that it has acquired North American rights to the western/thriller BRIMSTONE. The film, which first premiered in September at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews, is written and directed by Martin Koolhoven. It stars Dakota Fanning (Man on Fire), Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential), Kit Harrington (“Game of Thrones”), Carice van Houten (“Game of Thrones”) and Emilia Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides). Momentum Pictures will be releasing BRIMSTONE in theaters and on VOD in March 2017. Momentum Pictures’ Senior Vice President of Content Ian Goggins made the announcement today.
“Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce’s strong performances truly capture the work and vision of filmmaker Martin Koolhoven,” said Goggins. “We couldn’t be more proud to release BRIMSTONE so that audiences can experience this amazing piece of cinema.”
BRIMSTONE tells the story of a frontier woman turn fugitive when she is wrongly accused of a crime she didn't commit and is hunted by a vengeful preacher.
BRIMSTONE is produced by Els Vandevorst (Dogville) and Uwe Schott (Cloud Atlas). Co-produced by Paul Trijbits, Antonino Lombardo, Manuel Chiche and Peter Hiltunen. The deal was negotiated on behalf of Momentum Pictures by Sejin Croninger, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Acquisitions for Entertainment One, and CAA on behalf of the filmmakers."
Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
