\nFans of 2011\u2019s internationally successful local horror film, The Tunnel are in for another scare with the \u201cThe Tunnel: Dead-End\u201d receiving funding from Screen Australia this month.<\/p>\n
Currently in development, \u201cThe Tunnel: Dead-End\u201d will pick up the story years later as Tangles\u2019 sister is determined to answer once and for all what happened to her brother in the gloomy underground tunnels.<\/p>\n
“Initially, we weren’t anticipating doing another Tunnel film but the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the original, as well as our fans clamouring for another on an almost daily basis, made us go back and give it a second thought. We weren’t going to go ahead unless we could find a story we were 100% behind, which we now have and are thrilled to have the support of Screen Australia,” said Distracted Media\u2019s Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey. <\/p>\n
The Tunnel became last year\u2019s most-talked about film locally and internationally based on its unique crowd-funding model and distinctive distribution. The film enjoyed a simultaneous online, DVD, theatrical, a world TV premiere on Showtime Premiere and an iPad release well as winning many industry award accolades.<\/p>\n
Based on the success of the crowd-funding scheme for The Tunnel, Distracted Media has announced another 135k Project is in the pipeline. \u201cAirlock\u201d is a claustrophobic science-fiction thriller in the vein of Alien. http:\/\/135kproject.com\/<\/p>\n
\u201c\u201cThe Tunnel: Dead End\u201d is a great opportunity to take Distracted Media into a different playing field but as producers we still very much believe in the basic principles of the 135k Project. Having a more mainstream film in \u201cThe Tunnel: Dead End\u201d will enable us to up the stakes significantly with \u201cAirlock\u201d which will hopefully raise the bar for our free internet releases and what we can put back into their success,\u201d said Distracted Media\u2019s Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
