#84. Black Rock
Director: Katie Aselton
Writer(s): Mark Duplass
Producers: Adele Romanski
Distributor: Rights Available
The Gist: Three childhood friends set aside their personal issues and reunite for a girls’ weekend on a remote island off the coast of Maine. One wrong move turns their weekend getaway into a deadly fight for survival…(more)
Cast: Kate Bosworth, Lake Bell and Katie Aselton
List Worthy Reasons…: Pitched as a Deliverance with a female cast, we look forward in seeing Kate Bosworth, Lake Bell and helmer/actress Katie Aselton taking a turn for the worse in the woods. And oddly, it’s in the woods where scribe Mark Duplass recently gave one of his better perfs (Lynn Shelton’s indie trend setting secluded wood cabin locale in Your Sister’s Sister). Aselton’s debut The Freebie was flawed, but yet scored points for its honest portrayal of couplehood. Glad she switched genres for her sophomore pic. We hope this is uncomfortable as the mentioned 70’s film.
Release Date/Status?: World premiere showcase in Sundance’s Park City at Midnight section should be followed by a pick-up and better box office than her debut film.
