Hong Kong horror makers Oxide and Danny Pang are set to make their English-language debut directing "Scarecrow" for Blue Star and Ghost House Pictures, a joint venture of Senator International, Sam Raimi & Rob Tapert indicates trade paper The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Stuart Beattie ("Collateral") from an original script by Todd Farmer, "Scarecrow" is a horror tale that follows the lives of a family moving into a run-down sunflower farm. As the farm begins to revive after years of disrepair, the family begins to notice uncomfortable and alarming changes in their father's behavior.
Principal photography is slated for the spring. Raimi says "I'm thrilled that the Pang brothers have agreed to direct 'Scarecrow. I've been a big fan ever since 'The Eye.' Danny and Oxide have an exciting and unique vision and are at the forefront of the neo-horror movement in Asian filmmaking".
