While you couldn’t exactly say the Internet is buzzing about it, there is online chatter about the forthcoming release of The Tall Man, the Jessica Biel movie shot in West Kootenay last year.
One post on the Internet Movie Database quoted co-star William Davis as saying the film is still in post-production, but may be ready for the Sundance Film Festival, held each January in Park City, Utah.
Another post quoted director Pascal Laugier as saying he is now working on colour correction.
A horror movie site — bloody-disgusting.com — has also posted a 10-second demo reel.
Although no local scenes are immediately recognizable, a shot inside a diner is probably the Whiteline truck stop at Erie. The crew also shot scenes in Salmo, Ymir, and Nelson.
Others in the cast include Teach Grant, Samantha Ferris, Jodelle Ferland, and Stephen McHattie.
Biel plays a nurse in a small town trying to find out why a series of children have gone missing — including her own.
Producers initially said they were shooting for a fall 2011 release, and promised a local screening.
