A few days ago we brought you the news that Neil Marshall would be producing a new film called Ghost of Slaughterford (story here) for director Ian D. Fleming. Good news for sure, but we wanted more! So who better to get it from than the film's writer and star Axelle Carolyn?
"The initial idea for the Ghost of Slaughterford came from a trip through the English countryside last summer, when as we got lost on the road and saw a sign for a village called Slaughterford," says Carolyn. "The name was so extraordinary and the place so quaint that it immediately made me want to write something spooky, dark, and filled with that sort of Gothic Britishness that Hammer films and old ghost stories used to have. (The village described in the script ended up being very different from the real place though.) I started writing with the intention to play the lead,...

Axelle Carolyn. Writer. Actress. Stunner. Married to that lucky bastard Neil Marshall. And now all of her talents will be fully recognized in a convenient package, The Ghost of Slaughterford.
Axelle will have the lead in the film that she penned the screenplay for. Ian D. Fleming will helm the picture; he just finished 2nd unit director duties for Neil Marshall on Centurion. And speaking of Neil, he is playing the role of supportive husband and will be the executive producer for her film, "The Ghost Of Slaughterford reminds me of a kind of film that Britain doesn't make any more, a creeping menace full of great characters, heart-stopping terror, intrigue, suspense and even romance. I want to make this movie mainly because I want to see this movie."
When word started leaking out about her first feature she went to her old friends at Fangoria and gave the gist of the project.

Once again Berlin comes up trumps, and the next film we have to look forward from the Centurion director Neil Marshall is the story of a novelist who retreats to a haunted house to complete her latest novel, and whose presence evokes the titular Ghost of Slaughterford.
Marshall is pulling on his Exec Producer trousers and his second unit director on the forthcoming Centurion, Ian D. Fleming is taking the directing reins and the news from Berlin is that UK firm Intandem Films is looking to back the pair’s chiller.
The movie is expected to begin production in June and Fleming and Marshall seem perfectly suited to this dark tale, and Intandem will surely hope to build on the success of Marshall low-budget, effective horror sensibilities with Slaughterford. While the story may be an amalgam of horror staples there’s plenty to look forward to from this film.

Brit-horror maestro Neil Marshall is gearing up to tackle The Ghost of Slaughterford. Marshall is set produce, with Centurion’s second unit director Ian D. Fleming calling the shots. Set in a village comically named Slaughterford, a novelist moves in to a rented mansion to compose her new novel. But yes, you’ve guessed it, she’s not alone. Sound pretty standard, though chatter on the multinational computer link-up leads us to believe that the ghostly resident is not the one to fear. It’s the...

Neil Marshall’s a pretty busy guy these days. Not only does the talented writer/director have “Centurion” looming on the proverbial horizon, he’s also in talks to produce Ian D. Fleming’s upcoming supernatural yarn “Ghost of Slaughterford”. Haven’t heard of Fleming or his nifty little movie? Don’t feel bad, as I doubt most people have. Still, with Marshall on-board as producer, it should be worth a look. I’m a pretty big fan of both “The Descent” and “Dog Soldiers”, so there’s a good chance I’ll be all over the picture as soon as it makes its way onto an enormous silver screen located somewhere within driving distance of my house. It’s not like I had plans for that day or anything. Here’s the story, pulled directly from The Hollywood Reporter: U.K. sales and finance banner Intandem Films is looking...
