Waterfront Pictures to attend MIPCOM with two new properties; thriller Messages Deleted and teen thriller Fear Island
Waterfront Pictures will be attending MIPCOM from October 5-9, 2009 with two new additions to its properties with the thriller MESSAGES DELETED written by Larry Cohen (Phonebooth/Cellular) and starring Matthew Lillard (Scream, Thirteen Ghosts, Scooby Doo) and Deborah Kara Unger (Crash, The Hurricane, White Noise). Along with the teen thriller FEAR ISLAND starring Haylie Duff (Napoleon Dynamite, Material Girls, Legacy), Aaron Ashmore (Smallville, The Skulls 2), Kyle Schmid (Blood Ties, Joy Ride: Dead Ahead) and Lucy Hale (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Bionic Woman, Privileged).
MESSAGES DELETED Synopsis:
"Please pick up the phone or he's going to kill me!" begs a desperate voice on, screenwriter, Joel Brant's answering machine. He deletes the message, thinking it's a twisted joke: until the caller is found dead. When a series of phone messages and dead bodies imitates the crime in Joel’s only successful script, he becomes the prime suspect. Pursued by the cops, taunted by a brilliant and vicious killer, Joel must unravel the mind of a murderer and find the connection to his own script...or become the last victim.
FEAR ISLAND Synopsis:
After a blowout party at a secluded island cabin, five friends make a shocking discovery: a dead body and the only boat off the island gone. Trapped and unable to call for help, they become prey to a mysterious killer seeking revenge. Together, they must decipher the murderer's chilling series of clues to reveal the island's secret past...or face death one by one.
