Hello. Elston Gunn here.

Variety is reporting that Ashley Greene (TWILIGHT) is in talks to star in APPARITION for Joel Silver's Dark Castle shingle and Warner Bros., who is releasing the pic (Dark Castle has NINJA ASSASSIN out soon and released ORPHAN earlier this year). Inspired by true events, it's about a young couple haunted by an apparition unleashed during a college experiment.

Silver is producing with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman. Steve Richards, Sue Baden Powell and Daniel Alter (who's producing JONNY QUEST also at Warners) are exec producing. Todd Lincoln is writing and directing. Lincoln was previously attached to remakes of THE FLY at Fox and the HACK/SLASH comic adaptation.

Dark Castle has been down the apparition road before: first with HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, then 13 GHOSTS and GHOST SHIP, (They also have THE LOSERS currently in post-production.) I imagine with the recent success of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY we're going to get all kinds of paranormal films coming around the bend again -- not that they've really gone anywhere to begin with -- veering a bit from vamps, slashers and zombies back to g-g-g-ghosts.

Thoughts, prayers, suggestions?
