Independent Filmmaker Jeremiah Sayys (www.imdb.com/name/nm1770266/), who made is directorial debut with the psychological horror film "Of Silence" (www.ofsilencefilm.com) due to begin hitting film festivals next year, is being linked to many projects that's being developed by his independent production company, WorldsLastHero Productions. Sayys' next project seems to be the werewolf film "WULF", but with many rumors floating around and misinformation being spread, Sayys' has decided to clear up the rumors and misinformation.
Sayys, "My next official project is "WULF", a werewolf horror film that we will go into production on in April. Any rumors regarding me doing any other film project other than "WULF" is simply not true. I'm very excited about the project. It's a very tragic, intense story and it's going to be an amazing experience. However, at the very beginning of this year we were set to go into pre-production on the film "DeadLands Cry", but because of budget reasons we had to push that film back on the company's film slate and "WULF" took its place. As far as misinformation goes, is the casting of "WULF". A couple of actors and actresses have been linked to the film and is said to be attached, but they aren't. We're "in talks" with some talent, but that's all and nothing more as of yet."
Sayys' also elaborated on his next project after "WULF".
Sayys, "I have two films that I haven't really decided on which one I want or should do first, after WULF. One of the films is an adaptation of my sci-fi graphic novel of the same name called "Miscreation" that's set in a semi post-apocalyptic world. The other film is called "Being", a sci-fi/horror/thriller. "Miscreation" is a high concept story that needs a big budget to be done right. "Being" is also a high concept story, but doesn't really need a very big budget to be done right. So it really comes down to which one we can do financially, at the time."
Sayys wrote the screenplay to "WULF" and will be producing, directing and starring in the film. His producing partner, Sheila Ryan and their new producing partner Kira Willoughy will also serve as producers on film. "WULF" tells the story of Preston Cunningham, a mechanic struggling to make peace with his tragic past while battling an inner monster from folklore legend, after being attacked by an injured wolf in Alaska.
"Miscreation" is an action/sci-fi/horror/thriller. It takes place in the year 2065, when the United States economy has completely collapsed and the middle class has devolved to slavery. The story follows mysterious survivalists, Tristan and Haven, as they travel a disastrous landscape searching for a ruthless killer on a murdering spree. Sayys will direct from his own screenplay and will produce and star in the film. Sheila Ryan and Kira Willoughby will serve as producers on the film. "Miscreation" is the first graphic novel in Jeremiah Sayys' graphic novel series, "A Nothing Place", that he is currently developing.
"Being" tells the story of an eighteen year old college student and a thirty year old plumber, who develop an uncommon relationship that is tragically put on the line when the student begins to go through terrifying phases of inner body transformations after coming in contact with an unfamiliar insect. Sayys will once again direct from his own screenplay and will produce and star in the film. Ryan and Willoughby will serve as producers.
Other films on Sayys' plate for the future are the following:
"DeadLands Cry" - A morally upstanding single father and his strong-willed teenage daughter are put to the test when volunteers renovating an old schoolhouse find themselves trapped and hunted by an inconceivable monster with an ominous past that reaches deep into local legend.
"Amoral Prodigy", a dark and gritty horror/thriller about a solo detective investigating a case on a serial killer whose victims are showcased in gruesome and disturbing ways.
"The Bogeyman", a sci-fi/horror/thriller that tells the story of a philosopher and her recovering alcoholic best friend that encounter a folkloric being, when a violent storm blacks out the entire neighborhood they live in.
"Glimpses of Being", a sci-fi/horror/thriller about a corporate operative who's sent on a job to categorize materials stored in a storage station, located on the realms of another solar system. He begins to reflect on his life and the people who were once in it he left behind on Earth, while battling the inner demons trying to destroy him.
