Exclusive: Jack Kilmer (Palo Alto), Paris Jackson (Gringo), and Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) are in production in Atlanta on Open Wounds, an indie horror thriller from director Ronald Krauss (Gimme Shelter). Rounding out the cast of the pic are Lambert Houston (Resurrection Factor), Renata Notni (Zorro), Richie Radichi (My Best Friend’s Dead), and Jay Giannone (American Hustle).
Written by Ryan Leeder, Joshua Courtade, and Krauss, the film centers around a fading indie horror studio, its owner Jefferson (Roberts), and his nephew Caleb (Kilmer), a young horror movie obsessive and aspiring makeup f/x artist, who finally gets his “little break” when Jefferson assigns him to work on a B-list movie about a vampire (Notni). There, he encounters another makeup artist, Ginni (Jackson), with whom he feels he can share his vulnerabilities, as well as an unsupportive rival, Todd (Houston).

The Kelce brothers have scored a touchdown for Prime Video.
Kelce, the documentary chronicling Philadelphia Eagles team captain and All-Pro center Jason Kelce’s epic year leading to his Super Bowl Lvii matchup against his brother Travis, is now the streamer’s most-watched documentary ever in the U.S. It beat out Val for the top spot.
After premiering on September 12, Kelce had the biggest first three days ever for a documentary film in the U.S. It debuted at No. 1 and has remained in the Top 5 movies on Prime Video throughout the first three weeks of its release.
Amazon didn’t release any viewership numbers for the film, though it will surely be somewhere on the Nielsen streaming charts in the coming weeks (Nielsen reports streaming audience data about a month delayed).
“We’re extremely proud of Kelce and thrilled to share in its record-setting success with our partners at NFL Films,...
