Red Band Trailer for Found Footage Horror 'As Above, So Below'

If the catacombed madness of The Descent was a little too claustrophobic for you to bear, chances are John Erick Dowdle's (Devil, Quarantine) new horror As Above, So Below may not be your best option this weekend. A new extended red band trailer for the found footage horror that stars Ben Feldman, Perdita Weeks, and Edwin Hodge as archaeologists who venture into the caves below Paris to find an artifact, but end up finding something far more Hellish. Here's the official synopsis:

Miles of twisting catacombs lie beneath the streets of Paris, the eternal home to countless souls. When a team of explorers venture into the uncharted maze of bones, they uncover the dark secret that lies with this city of the dead. A journey into madness and terror.

As Above So Below opens August 29th.

Hellish Trailer and Poster for Found Footage Thriller 'As Above, So Below'

There's a chance John Erick Dowdle has a slight obsession with making movies about Hell. The Quarantine director followed that up with the M. Night Shyamalan-produced horror, Devil, in which Satan himself terrorizes people on an elevator. And in now in his latest film As Above, So Below he posits that the gate to Hell may be sitting beneath the streets of London. I would have predicted Detroit. 

The first trailer and poster for the film has been released, and other than the distracting found footage approach it looks like a decently scary thriller. Ben Feldman, Perdita Weeks, and Edwin Hodge play archaeology students who discover the uncharted catacombs beneath Paris and venture into them, despite it being littered with the bones of countless victims.

As Above, So Below will open on August 15th.

Owen Wilson puts on his action hero hat for 'The Coup'

Owen Wilson: Action Star? It's not that far fetched, as he's got more experience in the genre than many remember. You didn't forget Behind Enemy Lines, did you? Eh, you probably tried to, and I wouldn't blame you for it. He's getting back into the game for the first time in years as he'll star in The Coup, for co-writer/director, John Erick Dowdle(Quarantine).

Co-written with Dowdle's brother, Drew, the story sounds like something Liam Neeson would be a more natural fit for. Wilson will play the patriarch of a family that moves to southeast Asia, forced to protect them when a violent coup erupts and rebels begin attacking the city.

Kindof an odd choice for Wilson, as he's not one of those actors that necessarily needs to branch out into other avenues to remain successful.  In fact, he may do more harm than good if the movie turns out to be a dud. Maybe if it were more of an action buddy comedy, ala Shanghai Noon, then it would make more sense. [Deadline]
