The director of fan favorites including Wyrmwood and Beast of War, director Kiah Roache-Turner is back with World War II action-horror film Lady Death, and we’ve got the first look.
Lady Death is currently in production outside Adelaide, South Australia, we’ve learned. The upcoming horror movie, it’s interesting to note, lives in the same heightened, epic and gore-splattered WWII universe as Kiah Roache-Turner’s recent shark attack movie Beast of War!
Masha Basman stars as ‘Lady Death’ with Robert Maaser as ‘Hans Bothman.’
In Lady Death, a crack team of British Commandos are forced into an unholy alliance, when lost in a primeval forest on the Eastern Front, with Soviet sniper, the legendary ‘Lady Death’ (newcomer Masha Basman), and two demented SS officers – and twins – played in gleeful dual roles by German actor Robert Maaser (Blood & Gold, Ballerina).
Together the unlikely team must navigate the perils of the forest, including its most ferocious residents: wolves, born of an ancient bloodline, horrifically outsized, led by a giant alpha and remorselessly hunting as a pack. Only with Lady Death – herself an apex predator, and inspired by the real-life heroine Lyudmila Pavlichenko, who notched some 309 Nazi kills during the war – do the team have any chance of surviving the forested hellscape.
Kiah Roache-Turner tells Bloody Disgusting, “There’s something wonderfully cinematic about throwing a legendary sniper, a squad of commandos, Nazi villains and giant wolves into the same story and seeing what survives. Lady Death is exactly the sort of movie I love making — ambitious, dangerous, funny in all the wrong places and completely unafraid to get blood all over the screen.”
The cast includes newcomer Masha Basman as ‘Lyudmila’/’Lady Death’, Xavier Molyneux (Amazon’s Bloodaxe, Take My Hand) as ‘Billy’, Bart Edwards (Netflix’s The Witcher) as ‘Monty’, Robert Maaser (Ballerina, Blood & Gold) in dual roles as Nazi twins ‘Hans Bothman’ and ‘Gunner Mengele’, Jake Ryan (Netflix’s War Machine) as ‘Smiddy’, CJ Bloomfield (Mortal Kombat franchise, Furiosa) as ‘Butch’, George Pullar (Evil Dead Burn, Posthumous) as ‘Bird’ and Sam Parsonson (Beast of War, Fear Below) as ‘Cunningham.’
The movie is being produced by Blake Northfield and Michelle Krumm for Bronte Studios (Beast of War, Wyrmwood franchise). The production team includes Head Of Production, Sandra Tahmasby Baxter (Beast of War, Take My Hand, Wyrmwood – Apocalypse), director of photography Jonathan Baker (Talk to Me), production designer Rachael Gates (Wolf Creek: Legacy), SFX coordinator John Sanderson (Mortal Kombat, Wolf Creek: Legacy), stunt coordinator Danny Baldwin (Beast of War), hair, make-up and prosthetic designer Billie Weston (Apex, Elvis, Danger Close: Battle of Long Tan), costume designer Tracey Rose Sparke (Primitive War, Beast of War). Roache-Turner also edits all his movies.
Executive Producers include Bronte Studios, Kiah Roache-Turner, The Post Lounge, Todd Brown, Bart Edwards, Calum Gray, Max Pirkis, Jeff Harrison, Ari Harrison (Umbrella Entertainment), Chandler Heinz Laun and Jaswinder Singh Ahluwalia (Obsidian Creek Capital) and Laura Stejskal (Winter Tree Productions).
Australian SFX outfit MEG Studios (Apex, Talk to Me, Furiosa) is bringing the wolfpack to terrifying life, together with Resin (Mortal Kombat, The Bluff, Elvis, Hotel Mumbai), who are handling the film’s VFX.
Financing for the movie comes through Obsidian Creek Capital, and Hinterland, with support from the South Australia Film Corporation.
Check out a few first look images below and expect more real soon.
