Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an interesting bit of news on a new project from Stephan Elliott, the writer/director of THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT. Well, I don't think it's new... I think he's been trying to get it made for years, but it looks like it's actually going forward now. He's got a project called BLACK OASIS, which is based on the tragic life of '50s and '60s b-movie actress Susan Cabot.

Cabot seemed to gain prominence in the early '50s appearing in many westerns, including GUNSMOKE. She became a Roger Corman favorite and appeared in such films as THE SAGA OF THE VIKING WOMEN AND THEIR VOYAGE TO THE WATERS OF THE GREAT SEA SERPENT (helluva title, isn't it?), THE WASP WOMAN, WAR OF THE SATELLITES and MACHINE GUN KELLY.

She was brutally murdered at the hands of her own son, a dwarf... No shit. How bizarre is this story?

Well, Rose McGowan has signed on to play Cabot. The flick is in talks for distribution at the moment and is selling to international. Looks like it's happening. This could be a really kickass bizarre as fuck flick.
