Studio to distribute Georgia-made ‘Dance of the Dead’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The indie horror film “Dance of the Dead,” filmed in Rome and North Georgia, will be distributed this fall by Lionsgate in a deal with Sam Raimi’s new partnership Ghost House Underground.
“Dance,” directed by Gregg Bishop, a 1992 graduate of McEachern High School in Powder Springs and 1999 graduate of USC film school in Los Angeles, had three sold-out screenings last month at the Atlanta Film Festival. It earlier had its world premiere at South by Southwest in Austin.
“Dance” mixes blood, gore and humor in relating how the rising dead invade a high school prom. Roughly 80 percent of the cast, many of them teens and young adults, are Georgians.
The film is expected to be part of Ghost House’s inaugural slate of offerings dubbed October Horror.
“‘Dance of the Dead’ has found the perfect home,” Bishop said in an e-mail press release.
The deal involves both Raimi (“Evil Dead” and the “Spider-Man” movies) and Rob Tapert (“30 Days of Night,” “The Grudge”).
