Dan O’Bannon is a legend in the realm of Sci-Fi and horror films: He’s the man behind Alien, Total Recall, Blue Thunder and Return of the Living Dead – and John Carpenter’s first film, Dark Star, which has helped to shape the face of genre cinema as we know it today.
O’Bannon is currently finishing up scripting duties on an upcoming film, and we’re the first to break this story for you. The movie is called The Pain Clinic, a film that he co-wrote with Donald Grail.
I spoke with Brett Hart, who is attached to the film as the director.
He says that the movie is a physiological thriller in the mold of Misery, The Marathon Man, Rosemary’s Baby, Seconds and Coma.
Hart previously directed the low-budget thriller Bone Dry which starred Aliens‘ Lance Henriksen and current Hellboy 2 villain Luke Goss.
Here’s the synopsis of the film as described by Hart:
