‘Dune’ fame David Dastmalchian to star in new horror flick ‘Late Night With the Devil’

'Dune’ fame David Dastmalchian is currently shooting for his next project, an indie chiller ‘Late Night with the Devil’, in which he plays a late-night talk show host set in the era of 1977, which goes terribly wrong. "Unleashing evil into the nation's living rooms" reads the synopsis of the film.Known for films like ‘100 Bloody Acres’, and ‘Scare Campaign’, Australian duo Cameron and Colin Cairnes have co-written and co-directed ‘Late Night With the Devil’.Variety reported that the film was signed as part of a multi-picture deal between Image Nation Abu Dhabi and Spooky Pictures production houses.

The writers and directors of the horror film disclosed in a statement that the movie was based on an intriguing idea that was typical of the 1970s and 1980s when late-night chat shows had ‘something slightly dangerous’ about them.

"In the 70s and 80s, there was something slightly dangerous about late-night TV. Talk shows in particular were a window into some strange adult world. We thought combining that charged, live-to-air atmosphere with the supernatural could make for a uniquely frightening film experience" said the Cairnes duo.
