This new deal Twisted Pictures has devised with video site Break.com sounds very similar to what Stephen King did a while back when he began offering short segments of a story called “The Plant” online. Granted, King’s little online experiment never panned out and “The Plant” never saw the full light of day, but I anticipate this will be a different story.
Variety is reporting that Twisted Pictures will not debut their new horror pic in theaters, on DVD or on TV, instead they are taking it straight to Break.com in three-minute segments on a daily basis.
The film is tentatively titled The Internet Killer and once its Internet run is done Twisted plans to go forth with foreign, pay TV, and homevideo plans.
Currently Twisted is considering several scripts and has not yet set a director, but hopes are that the pic will be ready by the end of the summer. Twisted Pictures is best known as the studio behind the Saw series of films which has a fourth film in the franchise slated for an October 26, 2007 release.
