The ongoing Thalus Trilogy will see its second release in 2007: Antlers Of Reason II – Morning Interim. A co-production between Captüra Filmes, Rear Entrance Films and Ali Heath Cook, the feature-length film will encapsulate two brand-new erotic mystery tales. The apparently unrelated stories are meant to be mirror images of one another – which, not unlike the original film, will dive deep into the central characters’ repressed fears and desires. The notion of identity will be again at the centre of it, and the plot unveils a little more about the pagan mythology out of which the Forgotten God Thalus is “sampled”. Once more, moments of both physical and psychological displacement will be created out of the dense, subterranean narrative textures – juxtaposing fantasy with reality.
The film is currently resuming production and you can expect the first promotional images to appear across the Web early next year, along with a Teaser Trailer some time in February. Keep an eye on the Captüra Filmes Official Website, Captüra’s Profile on Myspace and Captüra’s Channel on Youtube.
Cast includes: Ali Heath Cook, Greg Miles Patmore, Annette Ross and João Paulo Simões.
You can expect more outstanding music by Sieben and to contrast the monochrome of the original, this new instalment to be presented in full blown colour.

2007 will also see the beginning of principal photography for the third film, Antlers Of Reason III – Nether Edge Temptress.
This is being sketched as a multi-character piece, the three main parts of which will be interspersed with short horror segments in still images. Something of a tradition in João Paulo Simões’ work, already explored in the two previous films, which will also be bridging the gap to the comic-book spin-off, already in development.

More to come soon…

SOLO SHUTTLE


Director David Cohen and actor Kulvinder Ghir on the set of Solo Shuttle. Sheffield, 1997.

Juliette (Virginie Aster) is an immigration officer working the Eurostar train that runs by tunnel between London and Paris. When Juliette discovers her boyfriend (who happens to be married) (played by Jean Yves Berteloot) has not only been reading the diary file on her laptop computer but got so mad he threw it out the window, she gives him his walking papers. On the rebound, Juliette becomes involved with Frank (Kulvinder Ghir), who works with several radical political groups. However, their relationship becomes problematic when he tries to involve her in a plan to smuggle a group of Somali refugees into England via the Eurostar. Filmed in 1997 on location at Yellow Arch Studios, Sheffield, London and Paris, Solo Shuttle received its first screenings on European television, though it later earned theatrical screenings in London. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
