Exclusive: Dante gets a Deal with Fango TV

Posted by:

Our good friend Dante emailed me while I was out of town to let us know that The Ocean his latest film is progressing well and that he has landed a deal with Fango TV. Little disclaimer here that nothing has been signed, no blood splattered on any documents. So yes some of the details could and might change. But read on to what Dante has to say.

It looks like Fangoria TV will be producing my next feature film, THE OCEAN.

It's no secret, I've always loved Fangoria Magazine, since the very first issue, and now I just have to finish the screenplay! Felissa Rose is a huge part of the Fangoria TV staff and she's going to star in THE OCEAN.

I really felt that when I was in their NYC office. Lots of Italian Americans too. What is it with Italians and horror? (laughs). I'm looking forward to the adventure. But again...I HAVE TO FINISH THIS SCRIPT! It should be done in about a month. It better be -- it has to be. A lot of people... including JESSICA HARPER (Suspiria) are waiting to read this. I plan to shoot THE OCEAN in the Fall. I can tell you that it will be just bursting with horror set pieces.

The imagery I'm seeing is so macabre...I'm creeped out as I'm writing it. It's dripping with death. And I'm hearing it too. I'm planning the sountrack too. It has an aura of evil. Like SATAN'S PLAYGROUND, THE OCEAN is a film made for horror fans by a horror fan. Felissa Rose will provide the emotional center of the movie. I can't wait to shoot in the ocean, in Puerto Rico, in the Bermuda Triangle.

Good stuff not going to say I am surprised. Dante is quickly building a name as a cult director. We of course thank Dante for sharing this exclusively with his fans here at MoviesOnline. Look for more updates on Dante as the script progresses.

In The Ocean, Felissa Rose plays a religious woman haunted by the drowning deaths of her husband and son. She inherits a mansion overlooking the crashing surf. Itâ€™s a dreamy, disturbing horror film with chills galore.
