Two cult faves join forces.
Filmmaker Richard Stanley won a legion of fans with his first two movies, Hardware and Dust Devil, before his well-documented nightmare experience on 1996's The Island of Dr. Moreau turned him off directing. While he's helmed shorts and anthology segments in recent years, there's no sign of Stanley making a return to feature directing any time soon. He has kept busy as a screenwriter however, and has co-written the upcoming sci-fi horror Replace, which is directed by first-timer Norbert Keil. The film follows a young woman (Rebecca Forsythe) who succumbs to a mysterious condition that causes her to age rapidly. Genre legend Barbara Crampton plays the dermatologist who treats her.
Replace will hit the festival circuit this Spring.
Stanley shared the film's poster on his Facebook page...
