Deborah Ann Woll’s film “Mother’s Day directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, is to be distributed in North America by Anchor Bay Films and is to be released in May 2012. The film has already premiered in the United Kingdom last June.
This is a remake of the 1980 film by the same name. Anchor Bay is also distributing Bousman’s “The Barrens,” (starring True Blood’s Stephen Moyer) a psychological horror film that is also due in 2012.
Scripted by Scott Milam with Bousman (“Repo! The Genetic Opera,” “Saw II-IV”) taking the directing reins, the film follows three outlaw brothers who set out for revenge after learning that their mother has lost the family home in a foreclosure.
“With Saw’s Darren Lynn Bousman at the helm and a cast featuring DeMornay, Ashmore and Woll, ‘Mother’s Day’ has an unbeatable horror pedigree,” said Kevin Kasha, Anchor Bay executive vice-president of worldwide acquisitions and co-productions. “We’re thrilled to add this chiller to the Anchor Bay Films roster of terror classics.”
The film, which is is loosely based on the 1980 Troma Entertainment flick by Charles Kaufman, is reportedly poised for a May 2012 release.
“Mother’s Day” stars Rebecca De Mornay, Shawn Ashmore, Jaime King, Patrick Flueger, Warren Kole, Deborah Ann Woll, Matt O’Leary and Briana Evigan.
