6 October 2009 1:59 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
If you loved the adventures of 18th-century graverobbers Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes in Glenn McQuaid’s I Sell The Dead, or are just waiting for the acclaimed movie to make its DVDebut, you’ll want to pick up the comic-book adaptation that hits stores tomorrow from Image Comics.

Revel did design work on the feature as well as producer Larry Fessenden’s directorial efforts Wendigo and The Last Winter, and illustrated comics versions of those films too. See our review of I Sell The Dead, which stars Dominic Monaghan, Fessenden, Ron Perlman, Angus Scrimm and Brenda Cooney, here and the flick’s official website here. »

I Sell the Dead (2008) Movie Review
6 October 2009 11:03 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
“I Sell the Dead” marks the debut outing for writer director Glenn McQuaid, and boasts a great offbeat cast, including Dominic Monaghan of “Lord of the Rings” fame, cult director Larry Fessenden (“Habit”, “The Last Winter”), Angus Schrimm (“Phantasm”) and “Hellboy” himself, Ron Perlman. Although the term label ‘comedy horror’ is quite possibly enough to terrify most genre fans in the worst way, the film is one of the very few examples of the form to strike the tricky balance between laughs and scares, mainly since McQuaid puts a great deal of effort into lovingly recreating the atmosphere of the old Hammer Horror classics, tinged with modern touches. The results are highly entertaining, and the film has rightly been a hit at various events during a successful tour, winning Best Independent Feature at Toronto’s After Dark Film Festival. It now arrives on region 2 DVD via Anchor Bay, complete with commentary from McQaid, »

Exclusive Video: Making I Sell The Dead
11 August 2009 3:25 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
We've been telling you about Glen McQuaid's I Sell The Dead for almost a year now, and the much-buzzed-about film is finally making it's way to the masses.
Currently playing NYC's Quad Cinema and soon to hit Los Angeles and Cambridge, I Sell The Dead will open Nationally tomorrow On-Demand via IFC In Theaters. To give you a look inside the film, IFC sent over an exclusive making-of featurette created by producer/star Larry Fessenden that can be viewed below along with further details on where you can see the film.
A Statement from the Director of I Sell The Dead:
A few years back I made a short film called The Resurrection Apprentice. A simple story of a young boy’s first night on the job as a grave-robber. I’ve always been fascinated with the fog-drenched, blood-soaked films of Amicus and Hammer. The short was an homage to that sort of thing. »

Podcast: I Sell the Dead (Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid)
6 August 2009 10:22 PM, PDT | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
Larry Fessenden's gap-toothed, shaggy-haired mug makes a memorable impression onscreen (Broken Flowers, The Brave One), and besides also being the cult filmmaker behind socially relevant horror gems like The Last Winter and Habit, Fessenden is a generous producer, too. For 20+ years, his production company Glass Eye Pix has helped emerging filmmakers get their projects off the ground, with a roster that includes Kelly Reichardt, Ira Sachs and Ti West (whose fantastically creepy The House of the Devil comes out later this year). Fessenden's latest production under his Scareflix horror banner is the morbidly entertaining I Sell the Dead, written and directed by former visual effects artist Glenn McQuaid, here playing homage to Hammer Studios, EC Comics and Young Frankenstein: Never trust a corpse. 19th century justice has finally caught up to grave robbers Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan) and Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden).

Fantasia ’09: They Sell the Dead
5 August 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Revisionist horror favorite Larry Fessenden (director of Habit, Wendigo and The Last Winter) returned to Montreal’s just-wrapped Fantasia film festival this year with two new films from his indie-horror production company Scareflix: Ti West’s incredibly atmospheric ‘80s horror tribute House Of The Devil (a smash success at Tribeca and a late but great addition to the Fantasia program; see review here) and Glenn McQuaid’s period horror-comedy tribute to British ‘60s/’70s horror classics, I Sell The Dead (another Fango rave; see here; I Sell The Dead goes into limited theatrical release this Friday and is concurrently available as a video-on-demand from IFC Films).
Fessenden was on hand with co-producer Peter Phok and first-time feature director Glenn McQuaid for their award-winning I Sell The Dead, a one-of-a-kind dark adventure film depicting the daily lives and supernatural woes of two lowlife body-snatchers, played by Fessenden himself and Dominic Monaghan »

'Orphanage' Remake Gets A Director; Also, 'Orphanage' To Be Remade
5 August 2009 12:45 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Color me surprised.
I feel like I shouldn't be any time something gets in line to be remade, but I thought we would've heard about a remake of the J.A. Bayona-directed, Guillermo del Toro-produced thriller The Orphanage by now. Well, it's indeed in the works, with del Toro remaining on board as producer and Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter) being brought on as director, according to THR.
An actor, producer, director, writer and editor in his own right, Fessenden has no small familiarity with the horror genre -- even presently starring as a grave robber in this Friday's horror-comedy, I Sell the Dead -- and his more considered filmmaking style seems ideal for a story that turns out to have as much sorrow in store as spooks.
The Reporter notes the the project is still in need of a lead actress. The original hinged on Belén Rueda's »

Exclusive: Larry Fessenden talks Orphanage remake
5 August 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The news in the trades is still fresh about indie maverick Larry Fessenden (Wendigo, The Last Winter) being set to write and direct the remake of The Orphanage (see item here) for producer Guillermo del Toro. So Fango thought it would be ideal to check in with the filmmaker directly to find out what’s shakin’ on his redo of J.A. Bayona’s acclaimed Spanish ghost story.
“As an indie filmmaker obsessed with singular, original, auteur-driven horror movies, it’s funny to be caught up doing a remake, especially of a recent and beloved film,” Fessenden tells Fango. “But you don’t turn down an opportunity to work with Guillermo del Toro, who has been a supporter of mine for years. Our collaboration has been extremely illuminating, both artistically and in terms of negotiating the business side of things. We are committed to making a serious Gothic American ghost story, »

The Orphanage U.S. Remake Finds a Director
5 August 2009 10:43 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
I don't remember if this was previously announced or not, but it looks like a U.S. remake of Juan Antonio Bayona's Spanish horror film The Orphanage is moving forward at New Line and they've locked in a director: Larry Fessenden. The actor/filmmaker most recently directed the Ron Perlman thriller The Last Winter and an episode of Fear Itself, but he also did the cult classic Wendigo. We've previously discussed the pros and cons of remaking recent foreign films (mostly the cons), but in the case of The Orphanage it seems even more unnecessary considering that the movie ended up getting a pretty decent release in U.S. theatres. A lot of people have already seen it (although I still haven't) thanks to Guillermo Del Toro's name being attached as a producer. Apparently he will also produce the remake and co-adapt the script with Fessenden. I wonder »

Director Tapped For ‘The Orphanage’ Remake
5 August 2009 8:33 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s being reported that a director has been found for New Line’s English-language remake of The Orphanage, in the form of Larry Fessenden. Guillermo del Toro (who produced the original Spanish version) is producing and has co-written the script with Fessenden. A lead actress is currently being searched for.
The original version of The Orphanage (which is only a couple of years old) followed a woman who moves in with her husband and son to a house that used to be the orphanage that she grew up in. Before long her son starts to act strange, communicating with an imaginary friend. I’ll refrain from saying more for Spoiler reasons, but let’s just say it mixes drama and horror fantastically well.
Fessenden is well established on the indie-horror circuit, as an actor, producer and director. His IMDb resume includes the likes of The Last Winter, The Roost, »

Larry Fessenden Directing Us Remake of The Orphanage
5 August 2009 8:24 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
The long threatened promised Us remake of The Orphanage has found its director and, frankly, I couldn't be happier. Larry Fessenden is the man, and as well as signing on to helm this picture through production, he's already co-written the remake script with the original's producer, Guillermo del Toro. This is very possibly not going to be a fashionable opinion but I see no reason why they won't make a better film than J.A. Bayona's original. I did like the 2007 version but definitely not to the extent of drop-down fainting witnessed in many of peers. And anyway, even if I had found it the best film of the year I'd still passionately support del Toro and Fessenden's right to rework it. This isn't Spielberg having a grasp at Harvey. Fessenden's most famous prior pictures would be The Last Winter and Wendigo, each of them ecological horror films about forces »

Guillermo Del Toro Taps Larry Fessenden To Remake 'The Orphanage'
5 August 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Not to confuse you while “Orphan” is still in theaters, but there’s some exciting news for horror fans regarding Guillermo Del Toro’s remake of the spooky foreign film “The Orphanage.” Low-budget cult filmmaker/actor Larry Fessenden, known for such environmentally conscious paranormal thrillers as “Wendigo” and “The Last Winter,” has been tapped to direct the English-language version, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Fessenden also co-wrote the adaptation with Del Toro, producer of both the original and the coming remake.
For those who are unfamiliar with the original, “The Orphanage” is a 2007 Spanish-language film from director Juan Antonio Bayana (who’d been a rumored candidate to direct “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” awhile back) about a woman who returns to the orphanage she grew up in. There she is haunted by the ghost of a kid wearing a burlap sack as a mask.
It’s the kind of well-crafted horror »

The Orphanage Remake Hires Director
5 August 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Actor/producer/director Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter) has signed on to helm "The Orphanage," New Line's remake of the Guillermo del Toro-produced Spanish-language horror movie. Fessenden also has written the script with del Toro, who is producing the new film. The 2007 pic was directed by del Toro protege Juan Antonio Bayona and centered on a woman who, upon returning to the orphanage where she grew up, discovers that her son's imaginary friend is the same person who terrorized her when she was a child. Del Toro and Fessenden know each other from the horror circuit and saw in him a filmmaker who understood the conventions of the horror genre and could execute a movie that would be as scary and disturbing as the original but in an American context. The project is in search of a lead actress. Click here to read our "The Orphanage" review. »
Del Toro sends Larry Fessenden to 'The Orphanage'
5 August 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- This is the kind of move that will definitely kick up a career a notch. Longtime low budget horror filmmaker and producer (and actor!) Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter) will slide into the director's chair for New Line Cinema's remake of the popular Spanish The Orphanage. A friend and fellow horror fan to Guillermo del Toro, THR reports that Fessenden actually wrote the script with Mexican filmmaker. New Line quickly picked up the rights in September of 2007 on the tale about a woman who takes over the orphanage where she was raised to open a home for disabled children. Then her young son begins to play with the same imaginary friend who terrorized her when she was a child.In order for this film to have a shot at success, I think that not only do we need a title change here, but we need Fessenden and del »
Larry Fessenden Tapped To Direct The Orphanage!

Yes, like most of you, I'm always skeptical when it comes to remakes, especially those based on incredible foreign films that just came out. However, Hollywood is relentless and is Going to keep making them whether we like it or not. So when a filmmaker I really like gets attached to a film that seems custom tailored to their sensibilities, I breath a sigh of relief knowing that it's in good hands. In this case, it's the American remake of the fantastic Spanish flick The Orphanage. (Directed by Juan Antonio Bayona) The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Larry Fessenden will be directing the new version from a script he co-wrote with Guillermo Del Toro.

Larry Fessenden has signed on to direct the New Line's remake of The Orphanage, the Guillermo del Toro-produced Spanish horror that scared the bejeezus out of us in 2007.Fessenden has made a name for himself turning out effective low-budget horrors like Wendigo and The Last Winter- effective enough to catch the eye of del Toro, who returns to produce the remake and who will co-write the script with his director.The Spanish-language version of The Orphanage was a truly effective frightener telling the tale of a woman who returns with her family to the now derelict institution where she was raised to find it stalked by a terrifying figure from her past.In case you're dreading another sub-par English-language remake, del Toro's involvement should alleviate some of your worries. After all, his selection of the then little-known Juan Antonio Bayona for the original paid rich dividends with a beautiful-looking and, »

Larry Fessenden Directing New Line's Remake of The Orphanage

This guy does everything - act, write, edit, produce, and direct. Larry Fessenden has signed on to direct New Line's remake of The Orphanage, the highly praised 2007 Spanish thriller produced by Guillermo del Toro. Fessenden previously directed the horror film Wendigo and the thriller The Last Winter. Del Toro and Fessenden know each other from the horror circuit, with del Toro's admiration of his work leading him to handpick him. Del Toro saw in him a filmmaker who understood the conventions of the horror genre and could develop a movie that would be as scary and disturbing as the original but in an American context.
