Lakers”) is ramping up operations in Italy through a partnership with Rome-based Alfred Film, the young shingle co-founded by experienced producers Roberto Amoroso and Maria Theresia Braun.

Director Michael Bartlett (Zombie Diaries, Paranormal Diaries) breaks away from the found footage genre with a stylish new horror/thriller he calls "a siege film in the vein of Assault on Precinct 13." To get the perfect look, Bartlett hand-picked his team from crew that worked on The Signal and Winter’s Bone.
Treehouse is adapted to screen from writers Alex Child and Miles Harrington’s original script. The film begins when Elizabeth (Dana Melanie) arrives home from school to witness the abduction of her younger brother. She gives chase and is not seen again. Soon, news breaks to the local community, coinciding with sightings of strange humanoids and animal abductions and mutilations. The town descends into paranoia and a curfew is enforced.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by director Michael Bartlett. Director: Michael Bartlett. Writers: Alex Child and Miles Harrington. Cast: J. Michael Trautmann, Dana Melanie and Daniel Fredrick. Treehouse is a suspense thriller from four time feature film director Michael Bartlett (The Zombie Diaries). The film was adapted to screen from Alex Child and Miles Harrington's script. Currently at the Cannes Film Festival, an opportunity to review this film early was provided to this film fan and some thoughts on Treehouse are hosted here. Thoroughly suspenseful, Treehouse is a well-paced thriller, which brings a lot of emotion to the screen. A supernatural or malicious physical element is plaguing a pair of teenagers and tension is built by this threatening element. This title is a standout indie feature, because of its attention to directing techniques and the performances provided by actors J. Michael Trautmann and Dana Melanie.

We all have films that we love dearly. Often it relates to how old we were when we first saw it, or some thematic elements that resonate with us. Obviously a certain amount of love for the 80′s in general and The Goonies in particular lies in the background of HeyUGuys, which makes news of Great Scott welcome indeed.
Perhaps echoing some of the sentiments (if not the form of execution) of Son of Rambow, Great Scott will see a Manchester teenager seeking to escape the tedium of his life by trying to become Marty McFly, having seen the 1985 film and decided that such is how is life could be.
Alex Child and Harold Bleetman wrote the script, which is due to be directed by one Phil Hawkins (director of last year’s ultra-low budget Being Sold). It looks like pretty low-profile stuff so far, which is of course not necessarily a bad thing.

Over the past few years, we've seen many films that pay homage to 1980s cinema. Just last year there was Paul, Super 8, and Attack the Block, to name a few. Now audiences can prepare for another helping of nostalgia with Great Scott, a film that pays tribute to Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future Trilogy. The movie takes place in 1980s Manchester, England and centers on a teenage boy who loves the sci-fi classic so much that he wants to become Marty McFly, attempting to escape his mundane, working-class life in the process. Financing will come from Philm Company, Sonic Screenworks and Lip Sync, who have helped produce such films as We Need to Talk About Kevin and Jane Eyre. Alex Child and Hiram Bleetman wrote the script and filming is planned to start this spring. While you may not recognize the name of the director, Phil Hawkins,...

Phil Hawkins, a filmmaker who was a contestant on the Steven Spielberg-produced filmmaking competition reality show On the Lot, has been tapped to direct Great Scott. The film is a love-letter inspired by — and, to some degree, dependent upon — Robert Zemeckis‘ beloved 80′s time-travel comedy Back to the Future. [Moviehole, via /Film]
Scripted by newbie writers Alex Child and Hiram Bleetman, Great Scott follows a working-class teen in the industrial wasteland of 1980′s Manchester, England who is so fed up with his existence that he longs to live out the big screen fantasies of everyone’s favorite reluctant time traveler, Marty McFly. And that’s all we know about the plot at this time. Given our ’80s remake mania, approaching that bygone (and best forgotten) era on this meta-level could prove more interesting that this project sounds at the moment.

Get ready to go Back to the Future with a new film that is going into production called Great Scott. Moviehole is reporting that the film is about a teenager in 1980′s Manchester, England who falls so in love with Robert Zemeckis’s 1985 hit that he tries to become Marty McFly. The main character is a slightly despondent working class teenager who would do anything to escape his mundane life and have the kind of adventures Marty McFly did in the hit film.
Phil Hawkins is set to direct the film based on a script by Alex Child and Hiram Bleetman. The project is a joint venture between Philm Company, Sonic Screenworks and Lip Sync. This is the same company that financed such recent films as We Need to Talk About Kevin and Jane Eyre.

[1] It seems like just about everyone who grew up in the '80s and '90s considers themselves a fan of Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future movies, and with good reason; that trilogy has held up surprisingly well over the years. But there's being a fan, and then there's being completely and utterly obsessed. Like, try-to-actually-become-Marty-McFly obsessed. Directed by Phil Hawkins, the upcoming Bttf-inspired Great Scott will be about a young man who falls squarely into the latter category. More about the film after the jump. MovieHole [2] reports that Great Scott will focus on an unhappy working class teen in '80s Manchester, England who develops a fixation on the 1985 sci-fi comedy classic and, along with it, a burning desire to leave behind his humdrum life and live out the adventures of his cinematic hero. It's not clear how closely Great Scott will mirror Back to the Future,...
