Shooting this summer in Finland
Writer-director Tii Ricks in in pre-production on the upcoming horror film Midsummer’s Eve.
Principal photography is set to begin in Helskinki, Finland this July.
Ms. Ricks offered some plot details in a press release sent out today: “I am proud to work with professionals of this level to bring this story alive. Rage – Midsummer’s Eve is a film honoring all the great horror features I have seen in my childhood: Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th are all films that I have grown up with and which I secretly watched way before I was supposed to see them. This film is a tribute to all of those films. Originally a pagan holiday Midsummer’s Eve is a huge thing especially in the Nordic countries. To add together a Midsummer’s Festive with its White Nights when the sun never sets, the spells people do at that time of the year and a group of American, English and Finnish people spending their Midsummer’s Eve in one of the most mystical places in the world, the Arctic Circle in Lapland, to me makes a perfect setting for a horror film.”
A cast is expected to be announced in June.
The film will be produced by La Brea Pictures LLC. and is expected to debut in 2012.
