  • If you don’t wanna know the Project Greenlight film choice this year, and want to remain in suspense for the opening Bravo episodes, turn away now, because we’re gonna tell you the title and some details on that film. So, go to the next story if you REALLY wanna be in the dark on the entire project going into the show’s airing.

Still here? Cool. Alright, so it looks like the Greenlight flick is taking on a new direction this year: Not a drama, but rather, HORROR! Cool stuff.

Navi Rawat, Balthazar Getty, Krista Allen, Henry Rollins and JASON MEWES will star in Feast, the John Gulager-directed Project Greenlight horror movie produced by Wes Craven at Dimension.

The film is set during a snowy evening at a rural watering hole where a motley crew of bar patrons struggle to survive a hungry family of flying beasts set on consuming a human buffet.

Rawat (House of Sand and Fog, The O.C.) will play a character named Heroine.

Thanks to Coming Soon for the story. You can also now view the film’s page at the IMDB.

“Project Greenlight” will air on Bravo in the first quarter of next year.

Going Down – “This adheres to the classic short film structure of set-up and massive punchline. Funny, funny stuff.”
Back to Reality – “Beautifully lensed with strong performances. Great talent on display.”
Coyote – “If you don’t laugh out loud at least twice during this flick, there’s something wrong with you. This is some antic, hysterical stuff.”
