I'm not the only one to think that Carter Smith's short film “Bugcrush” was as close an example of genius – and if their is a genre out there where producers are willing to give chances to young filmmakers it is in the horror genre. Miramax Films is doing just that, thanks in part due to David Greenbaum (Miramax exec).
Based on the Sara Gran novel adapted by Tristine Skyler, Come Closer is the story of a young architect who may be the victim of demonic possession.
Variety reminds us that was originally developed as more of a straight thriller at Dimension when the Weinsteins were still at Miramax, with Hossein Amini penning the screenplay. Miramax plans to go into production early next year – Smith is currently filming The Ruins – another horror pic for Dreamworks.
