Shake It Like a Polaroid Poster!
The first bit of official artwork is here for the Weinsteins’ latest foray into fear, Polaroid. Check it out and shake it, baby!
Polaroid stars Kathryn Prescott (“Finding Carter”), Mitch Pileggi (“The X-Files”), Grace Zabriskie (The Grudge, “Santa Clarita Diet”), Tyler Young (Eyewitness), Keenan Tracey (“Bates Motel”), Samantha Logan (“The Fosters”), Priscilla Quintana (Stranded), Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”), and Javier Botet (The Conjuring 2, Mama, IT).
Norwegian director Lars Klevberg is shooting the film from a screenplay by Blair Butler. Polaroid is styled in the vein of The Ring and Final Destination and centers on a high school loner, Bird Fitcher, who stumbles upon a vintage Polaroid camera. Bird soon learns that the camera houses a terrible secret: Whoever has their picture taken by it meets a tragic and violent end. The girl and her friends must survive one more night as they race to solve the mystery of the haunted Polaroid before it kills them all.
Dimension Films optioned the rights last year after Klevberg’s short made a splash at festivals and won Best Short for Klevberg and Best Cinematography for Pål Ulvik Rokseth at the Los Angeles Horror Competition short film festival.
Producing the film are Chris Bender, Jake Wagner, and Jake Weiner of Benderspink, producers of the original short; John Einar Hagen and Petter Onstad Lokke of El Dorado Films; and Roy Lee of Vertigo Films.
