John Carpenter's WARD

Heard to Star in John Carpenter's Ward
Source:Ryan Rotten, Managing Editor February 2, 2009


A Bigger Boat and Echo Lake are pairing up to produce John Carpenter's horror film The Ward. Shooting is to begin this May based on a script by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen.

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane's Amber Heard will star as a young woman trapped in a mental institution with a malevolent ghost. As danger creeps closer, she comes to realize that this ghost might be darker than she could have imagined.

"The Ward is the kind of script that I've been looking for: a complex, visceral story, full of suspense and scares," says Carpenter. "I am especially pleased to be working with Amber because I know she will create a powerful central performance."

On the producing side, Doug Mankoff, Mike Marcus and Andy Spaulding will represent Echo Lake; Peter Block will shepherd the project along under his newly born Bigger Boat banner.

"Working with John Carpenter on The Ward is a dream come true - fans everywhere, me included, have been waiting for just this kind of thriller from him," Block says. "It's great to be able to tackle it with the Echo Lake gang whose work I've also admired for years."

Block is currently producing Adam Green's latest, Frozen.

So we know it's a "complex, visceral story, full of suspense and scares", I think I remember reading something about a ghost, but does anyone know anything about the story line. I'm seriously excited to see him keep the ball rolling after Midnight Meat Train. This ones going directly into the 'must see' pile.

Dare I ask what Carpenter had to do with Midnight Meat Train?

I wish Carpenter would make good films. He's sucked for the last 20 years. The last good movie he made was They Live.
