Mark Blucas, Nicki Aycox, Eva Amurri, Andy Comeau and Naveen Andrews (pictured) have all signed on to star in the horror film Animals for first-time director Doug Aarniokoski.
The story centers on a blue-collar man in a dying factory town whose life is jolted after becoming involved in a romantic triangle amid a spate of uncontrolled violence.
The film was adapted by Craig Spector from his own novel which he co-wrote with John Skipp. If Spector is to be known at all it would be that he got a story credit on Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, and that ain’t saying much.
As for Doug Aarniokoski, outside of having one hell of a last name, he has been assistant/second unit director on such films as Resident Evil: Extinction and Robert Rodriguez’s Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
