Neil Marshall-produced GHOST gets backing

By Michael Gingold

According to The Hollywood Reporter, UK sales company Intandem Films will finance GHOST OF SLAUGHTERFORD, a supernatural pic to be executive-produced by THE DESCENT and DOG SOLDIERS’ Neil Marshall. Intandem is also representing the movie, set to start rolling in June, at the current European Film market in Berlin.

Ian D. Fleming, whose credits include British TV work (most notably the hit series HOLLYOAKS) and helming the 2nd unit on Marshall’s upcoming actioner CENTURION, will direct GHOST, which is set in the titular village, where a recently widowed author rents a big old house to work on her new novel. The Slaughterford townsfolk warn her that the place is haunted, and although she does indeed meet the resident ghost, it’s the living people around her who become the true threat. Casting has yet to be announced.
