One of the most under appreciated horror films of the last ten years is the Kevin Bacon vehicle Stir of Echoes. It did nothing in theatres but did garner a bit of an audience on home video and cable. Rumors have been circulating for a while about a sequel and Bloody Disgusting is reporting today that it seems to finally be happening. Here is the report:
Rob Lowe will star in sequel "Stir of Echoes: The Dead Speak," to be produced and financed by Lionsgate.
Ernie Barbaresh wrote the script for and will direct the horror thriller, which begins shooting in mid-July in Toronto.
The pic is a followup to the 1999 Kevin Bacon starrer "Stir of Echoes," which was written and directed by David Koepp and based on a Richard Matheson novel.
The story revolves around a soldier who returns home from a tour of duty in Iraq only to be haunted by visions of the dead. Producers are Toronto-based Philip Stilman, who has a deal with Lionsgate, and Claire Welland.
