Raw TV, the production company behind “The Tinder Swindler,” have set a new true crime documentary with Amazon Prime Video about the 1978 murders of Chris Farmer and Peta Frampton.
Titled “Dead in the Water,” it follows the story of Farmer and Frampton, a young British couple who went missing in 1978 after going backpacking in Central America. Their bodies were eventually discovered 200 metres off the coast of Guatemala tied to engine parts.
They were quietly buried in a sprawling cemetery in the Guatemalan city of Puerto Barrios, with the location of their graves a mystery to their families for four decades — crucially impeding the investigation into their murders — before they were eventually rediscovered. Their killer has never been brought to justice.
“The letters they write and the tapes they sent home were filled with tales of exotic landscapes, cultural encounters, and the thrill of the unknown,” reads the synopsis for the doc.

Still no real trailer for Guy Moshe's Bunraku (review) outside of the short clip a few weeks ago but production designer Chris Farmer is happy to show off his handy work and a few more images from the film whose striking visuals are one of the main attractions (that and the potentially awesome action sequences), have made their way online.
Still waiting patiently for a trailer but for now, check out more from the production in the gallery after the break.
Head to Quiet Earth to see the stills.

Bunraku is a style of Japanese puppet theater, and in "Bunraku", the new film by director Guy Moshe, these same puppets are used in an extended opening wherein we learn that the world's continents have fused into a quasi-Pangaea after eons of war have shifted the continents. Mankind has learned at least one thing from all that destruction: all firearms have been banned, in every province, under penalty of death. One day a gunless gunfighter known only as the Drifter (Josh Hartnett) mosies into town at the same time disgraced swordsman Yoshi (Gackt Camui) returns to his family home. Both have scores to settle with big boss Nicola the Woodcutter (Ron Perlman), who rules over the land using his enforcers the Nine Killers, led by Killer #2 ("Rome"'s Kevin McKidd, clearly gunning to...
