Horror Anthology ‘Fear Paris’ Teaser Trailer

Dark gothic cityscape, an accordion, a mime, this is most definitely Paris. The teaser trailer for FEAR PARIS, a horror anthology from directorial trio Joe Dante (GREMLINS), Xavier Gens (HITMAN) and TimoVuorensola (IRON SKY). Based on this teaser, which isn’t actually of footage from the film as that is yet to start shooting, the film has the potential to be phenomenal. The trailer below presents us with a short story in and of itself as we see a group of mimes, with the ability to use their powers to create invisible weapons, go in search of their lost tongues. That in itself is a wonderful premise, and the aesthetics are very engaging.

Here’s the official press release:

The producers behind Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Iceman join forces on the genre bending FEAR PARIS, an ambitious new film of unique interconnected stories exploring the dark underbelly of the city of lights.

Helmed by directors Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Hole), Xavier Gens (Hitman), and Timo Vuorensola (Iron Sky), the genre bending and connected stories will present a Paris unlike anything seen before, in a combination of fantasy, horror and science fiction. Casting is under way as the film will go into production this summer/fall. Two additional directors will join the line up soon.

Laura Rister (Untitled Entertainment) and Ehud Bleiberg (Bleiberg Entertainment), together with Steven Schneider (Vicarious Entertainment) join Darryn Welch (Instinctive Film) to produce the film.

Tony Noble (Moon) is the production designer. Kristyan Mallet (Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter) is onboard for special effects makeup and prosthetics.

The imaginative world will be created with the great visual effects minds from Pixomondo (Hugo) and Prime Focus (Gravity) and Richard Raaphorst (Frankenstein’s Army) as the concept designer.
