Stargate star Michael Shanks is currently filming Faces in the Crowd in and around Winnipeg, Canada, and Bloody Disgusting Horror News has an update on the film’s production, including listing Shanks among those who are rounding out the cast.
“Oscar-nominated writer/director Julien Magnat‘s feature length debut Faces in the Crowd began principal photography in and around Winnipeg, Canada this past weekend,” MrDisgusting reported. “Joining the previously announced Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil, The Fourth Kind) and Julian McMahon (“Nip/Tuck”, Fantastic Four) are Michael Shanks (“Stargate”, “24”), David Atrakchi (Transporter 3), Sarah Wayne Callies (“Prison Break”) and Marianne Faithful. The concept behind this thriller is pretty cool as Jovovich stars as a woman who has a severe case of face-blindess — and there’s ‘someone’ after her.”
Faces in the Crowd is a “psychological thriller being produced for Minds Eye Entertainment, Forecast Pictures, Radar Films and Frantic Films – the Canada/France team of Kevin DeWalt (Saskatchewan), Jean-Charles Lévy (France), Clément Miserez (France) and Jamie Brown (Manitoba) will produce alongside Hollywood veterans Scott Mednick and Sylvain White. Executive producers are Christopher Petzel and Milla Jovovich.
“The film is a Saskatchewan-Manitoba interprovincial Canada-France co-production with key technical and creative personnel from both provinces. Principal photography will take place in Manitoba and post-production including all computer generated visual effects will be completed in Saskatchewan.
“Executive producer Nicolas Chartier of Voltage Pictures will handle international sales. Their first in-house production, THE HURT LOCKER, received six Academy Award’s in 2010.”
According to the report, “Principal photography will wrap June 13, 2010.”
