‘Late Night With the Devil,’ Supernatural Thriller Starring ‘Oppenheimer’s’ David Dastmalchian, Picked Up by AGC Studios for International Sales
variety.comLeo Barraclough International Features Editor AGC International, the international sales and distribution arm of Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios, will launch sales on the supernatural thriller “Late Night With the Devil” at the American Film Market in Santa Monica on Halloween.
The film, a nightmarishly entertaining ode to the talk shows and horror movies of the 1970s, won the best screenplay prize at Sitges Film Festival. “Late Night With the Devil” is written, directed and edited by Australian genre mavericks Cameron and Colin Cairnes (“100 Bloody Acres,” “Scare Campaign”).
The brothers have crafted an original narrative that unfolds nearly in real time, as the 1977 live broadcast of a late-night talk show unexpectedly transforms from amusing to bizarre to deliciously sinister, unleashing evil into the nation’s living rooms.
The film stars David Dastmalchian (“The Suicide Squad,” “Oppenheimer”) as talk-show host Jack Delroy, and is produced by Derek Dauchy, Mat Govoni, Steven Schneider, Roy Lee, Adam White and John Molloy for Image Nation Abu Dhabi, Spooky Pictures and Future Pictures.
