We will be running a interview with director Eric Stanze a little later today where I ask him about his upcoming film Stoplight but we wanted to quickly relay this announcement.
From the Press Release
Adam Ahlbrandt will play a major role in Eric Stanze’s upcoming feature film, Stoplight, produced by Wicked Pixel Cinema. Within the past month alone, Ahlbrandt was hyped up in the pages of both Fangoria Magazine and Gorezone Magazine, further indicating his rapidly expanding notoriety. He is the director of indie horror hits Cross Bearer and The Cemetery. Currently, Ahlbrandt is directing and acting in two new feature films, Hunters and The Sadist.
Wicked Pixel Cinema’s Stoplight is a road-trip odyssey, a gritty thriller, and a harrowing descent into madness. The film is directed by award-winning indie film veteran Eric Stanze, who helmed the critically-acclaimed movies Ratline, Deadwood Park, China White Serpentine, Scrapbook, and Ice From The Sun.

The Adam Ahlbrandt directed double feature Cross Bearer and The Cemetery has been making the rounds at Cannes, and we have more details on both, including artwork, trailers, and a few stills.
The films were picked up for German speaking territories by Illusions Unlimited, an Austrian Uncut Distribution Company. CEO Emsch Schneider said, "These movies are very cool and gory. Cross Bearer is a back-to-the-roots slasher, and The Cemetery is a gory and violent flick with amazing practical effects. We're honored to release these brutal movies Uncut in German speaking territories." We should hear more about a North American release and other territories shortly.
In The Cemetery (official site here) a team of paranormal investigators must fight for their lives after accidentally releasing a demon from a forgotten cemetery. Alternately gut-punching hilarious and brutally violent, The Cemetery takes the best elements of the old-school slasher film and pushes them to the edge.
