Digital Witness: Annie Clark Added as 4th “XX” Helmer

Date:

Going the Peaches route, Annie Clark (St. Vincent) is replacing Mary Harron and joining femme fatale filmmaker quartet (Karyn Kusama, Jennifer Lynch and Jovanka Vuckovic) on XX — the horror anthology film produced by Roxanne Benjamin and XYZ Films. TheWrap reports that she is scheduled to film shortly. Magnet Releasing is distributing.

Gist: This is an anthology comprised of short horror films all revolving around a female protagonist.

Worth Noting: Producer/filmmaker Roxanne Benjamin knows a thing or two about the format: she was deeply involved in the V/H/S and Southbound anthologies.

Do We Care?: With a likely future TIFF playdate in the cards, we see plenty of upside with this project.
