Production is underway for Brooklyn 45, the latest by filmmaker Ted Geoghegan (Mohawk, We Are Still Here). Deadline reports that the supernatural thriller was commissioned by Shudder and will head to the streaming service in 2022.
The film “is set on a freezing evening in December 1945, as five military veterans gather together in the ornate parlour of a Brooklyn brownstone. Best friends since childhood, they have reunited to support their troubled host – but when his invitation for cocktails turns into an impromptu séance, the metaphoric ghosts of their past become all-too-literal.”
Geoghegan, who wrote the film with assistance from his late father, an Air Force Veteran, told Deadline, “Since losing my dad, I’ve been obsessed with bringing the powerful, timely script we collaborated on to the screen. A story of the ghosts, rage, and toxicity that follow all human conflict, the heart of Brooklyn 45 beats just as poignantly today as it did when the film was set, 76 long years ago.”
Brooklyn 45 stars Anne Ramsay (A League of Their Own), Ezra Buzzington (The Hills Have Eyes), Jeremy Holm (The Ranger), Larry Fessenden (We Are Still Here), Ron E. Rains (“The Onion’s Film Standard“) and Kristina Klebe (Rob Zombie’s Halloween).
