Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Through the Lens Entertainment, the East-West film studio that made a splash at Cannes last year, has struck a film development and production deal with iconic horror magazine Fangoria.
For Fangoria, the agreement marks a return to filmmaking after a prolonged period of corporate turbulence. The pair said that their agreement “is poised to redefine the horror and manga experience, offering fans an immersive journey into the macabre through motion pictures.” They also said it promises “innovation, culturally appropriate new manga films and accurate manga adaptations.” The first three manga titles that will be co-developed as films are all from the legendary Japanese horror mangaka or manga author and artist Ito Junji: “Bloodsucking Darkness” and “The Mystery of the Haunted House Part 1” and “Part 2.” Armen Aghaeian, Tara Ansley and Abhi Goel will produce the pictures for Fangoria Studios, alongside Ito, with Kutami Yasu and Yamaguchi Tsubasa of Amuse Group USA and Through the Lens Entertainment’s Aditya Chand and Jay Van Hoy.
The deal between Fangoria and Through the Lens Entertainment was brokered by indie producer Carlos Aguirre who will serve as an executive producer on the films.
Fangoria was established in 1979 and rose to prominence in the pre-internet era with its behind-the-scenes photos and in-depth interviews with horror makers.
