Dominic Monaghan and Freddy Rodriguez are set to star in a horror thriller, Fortuna.

Fortuna story takes place in 2100 where Earth is a collapsed economy and climate crises have eradicated the middle class, leaving a few very wealthy and the swarming masses in severe poverty. Offering hope to avoid a revolt, the privileged leaders create Fortuna, a mysterious game where one in a thousand wins a big payday and joins the upper classes. But their hidden goal to “reduce poverty” by 30% over 50 years comes with a deadly price tag.

Monaghan, Rodriguez and Fortuna writer-director Barthelemy Grossmann play forsaken men who decide to play the game in a nearby tower, despite misgiving that none of its contestants are ever seen again.

Filming begins in Sofia, Bulgaria with wretched, ghetto sets being built for the film, which is being compared to 1973’s post apocalyptic thriller Soylent Green starring the late Charlton Heston.

This the second horror flick I’ve posted today.  I don’t like horror flicks. But I tell you, these trailers are entertaining.  Kiefer Sutherland stars in Mirrors. Get scared!

The loss of their son in the 2005 tsunami was just too unbearable for the couple. Because the son’s body was never found the wife clung to the idea the boy may be knapped by traffickers in the chaos that followed the catastrophe.  Thus, the couple embarks on a horrific tale of paranoia, betrayal, going deeper into an alien universe of supernatural where the dead are never really dead – nightmares, obsession and horrific reality converge. Yikes!

Vinyan screens at the Toronto Film Festival and I read that the movie is really graphic with horror.  Quite possibly the French censors might not allow distribution. 

Anyway, let me know your thoughts on this trailer.  You will see a familiar face – Rufus Sewell.
