Movie : Wrong Turn

Notes provided by Twentieth Century Fox From four-time Academy Award®-winning character effects artist Stan Winston ("Jurassic Park," "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," "Aliens") and the producers of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Resident Evil" comes WRONG TURN, a film steeped in the traditions of classic '70s-style horror movies. Chris (Desmond Harrington) has a job interview in Raleigh in three hours and he's making good time in his refurbished classic Mustang convertible until an accident miles down the highway turns Chris' three-hour trip into a six-hour wait. Determined to make his critical appointment, Chris makes a hard U-turn and heads back up the West Virginia highway. Running low on fuel, he finds a dirt road that seemingly intersects the highway after about 20 miles. It's clearly a road less traveled, but to Chris it seems to be a quick fix to get around the highway traffic jam. Not far away, Jessie (Eliza Dushku) and her friends, Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), Carly's boyfriend Scott (Jeremy Sisto), Evan (Kevin Zegers) and his girlfriend Francine (Lindy Booth), stand quiet; stunned as they survey what's left of their road trip after the tires blow out, leaving them stranded deep in the middle of the woods. Chris heads down the dusty, winding back road, as the green forest canopy overhead casts ominous shadows of twilight on his foreboding path. He loses control around the curve and by the time he can see the disabled Range Rover in front of him it is too late to stop or swerve. The rear wheels lock up and the Mustang roars into the back of the SUV, scattering the people surrounding it. Luckily, no one is seriously hurt in the collision but egos are bruised and tempers flare. Chris is apologetic and Jessie is the calming force when she discovers the barbed wire that was stretched across the road. The blown out tires were seemingly the result of a prank. The group quickly bands together, determined to find a phone. Evan and Francine stay with the cars, as the other four make their way down the road. As they venture deeper and deeper into the woods, the idea of a prankster grows dim when they discover a mountain cabin filled with grisly hunting weapons and horrific souvenirs of the hunt. They are now certain that whomever or whatever lives in the cabin are responsible for the barbed-wire trap. What the foursome doesn't know is that Evan and Francine are now dead, mercilessly mutilated by three gruesome mountain men. Facing an uncertain and possibly horrific fate at the hands of these men, the four friends are sure of one thing: they will never go camping again. Directed by Rob Schmidt ("Crime and Punishment in Suburbia," "Saturn") from a screenplay by Alan B. McElroy ("Spawn"), WRONG TURN is produced by Constantin Film's Robert Kulzer ("Resident Evil"), Summit Entertainment's Erik Feig ("I Know What You Did Last Summer," "Slackers"), and Stan Winston and Brian Gilbert ("The Day the World Ended"). Summit Entertainment's Patrick Wachsberger ("The Blair Witch Project," "Memento," "Insomnia"), Constantin Film's Mitch Horwits, Newmarket Capital Group's Aaron Ryder ("Memento," "The Mexican"), and Don Carmody ("Chicago," "The Whole Nine Yards") are the film's executive producers. WRONG TURN stars Desmond Harrington ("Ghost Ship," "We Were Soldiers"), Eliza Dushku ("Bring It On," "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" series), Emmanuelle Chriqui ("Snow Day," "Detroit Rock City"), Jeremy Sisto ("Clueless," "Six Feet Under" series), Kevin Zegers ("Air Bud") and Lindy Booth ("Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows"). The creative production team includes Emmy® Award-winning director of photography John Bartley ("The X-Files", "Eight Legged Freaks"), production designer Alicia Keywan ("Dirty Pictures," "Bride of Chucky"), costume designer Georgina Yarhi ("One Kill," "Judgment Day: The Ellie Nesler Story") and editor Michael Ross ("An American Tour"). Shane Mahan ("Artificial Intelligence: AI," "Aliens") of Stan Winston Studios supervised the design and creation of the special makeup and creature effects for the film. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION "Remember how you felt about going back into the water after you saw 'Jaws,'" asks producer Stan Winston. "After seeing WRONG TURN, you'll feel the same about camping in the woodsI guarantee it." Winston, a living legend in Hollywood whose award-winning career has contributed to scaring countless moviegoers for more than three decades, should know. "Stan loves being scared and loves scaring other people," says WRONG TURN director Rob Schmidt. "Stan's a bit of a paradox, too. He's a sort of father figure to many of us on this movie, a really loving guy who seemingly has no issues because he 'gets it all out' by killing people on film. I mean he absolutely loves the horror genre and his passion is why it is thrilling for us to work with him." Winston's formidable body of work was a key attraction to the project for Schmidt and his cast. "Stan's an amazing guy," says actor Jeremy Sisto. "His accomplishments guarantee a project made with enthusiasm, quality and precision. There are a few things in this film that will haunt people for a while after they see it. Stan is largely responsible for that." "Stan is the reason I did this movie," says Eliza Dushku. "I was not interested in making a "monster" movie, and I told Stan that in our initial meeting. Wellthen he held up the pictures of the mountain men and explained that these characters are human just like the rest of us. They are not monstersthey are real and people like this do exist. The concept he laid out convinced me that this would be a fun, really creepy film." Perhaps co-star Kevin Zegers says it best: "Bottom line: People who know Stan's work know they're going to get the crap scared out of them." RIGHT PLACE, WRONG TURN The genesis of the project began when WRONG TURN scribe Alan B. McElroy submitted his script to his friend Brian Gilbert, who is Senior Vice President at Stan Winston Productions and Stan Winston's producing partner. Gilbert loved the script, and in turn, gave it to Winston to read. "I was scared, excited and blown away by Alan's script," recalls Winston. "It was one of the scariest scripts I'd ever read and I knew immediately that Stan Winston Productions was going to make this movie." A short time later, Summit Entertainment's Erik Feig, who also knew of McElroy's work, heard about WRONG TURN and approached Winston and Gilbert about becoming partners on the project. That partnership, in turn, led to the involvement of Rob Schmidt as director. "Rob's enthusiasm about the genre combined with the artistic look of his prior films and his true understanding of the piece made him the perfect guy to direct WRONG TURN," says Winston. "He had a passion for doing a film like this. Visually, this film has an elegant quality not seen before in a horror movie. Rob has really raised the bar within the genre with WRONG TURN." Executive producer Robert Kulzer and Constantin Film joined the group as the third financial entity. Then with the addition of executive producer Don Carmody, the team was formed. Next came casting and crewing the picture and on August 6, 2002, principal photography began in and around Toronto. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME Several of Toronto's municipal parks and outlying "wilderness" areas were used to double West Virginia. Much of the filming took place at WRONG TURN's principal sets a mountain Cabin and forest treetops both designed by production designer Alicia Keywan. "Alicia is as brilliant as any production designer I have ever worked with and I don't say that lightly," says Stan Winston. "The terror in WRONG TURN goes beyond the three mountain men. The cabin set Alicia designed is frightening because it is so real and filled with the horrific details that tell us about these terrible men. "What's so great about it," continues Winston, "is that when you walk into the cabin, it doesn't feel like a movie set. It was constructed as a real cabin, with different rooms and entrances and exits. All fours walls are there. It truly felt as if you were stepping into the 'family home' in West Virginia. We even constructed it outdoors at a local Toronto park and situated it between a dirt road and a river bed. Audiences will believe that this place has been there for years. I'm sure the walls would talk of bloodthirsty carnage." "The cabin is my favorite character in the movie," says director Schmidt. "Alicia has created an actual character by endowing the place with a variety of ghostly and ghastly flea market oddities. This is the kind of place that the audience will immediately identify with as being dangerous. They'll see it in the distance and immediately think to themselves 'Don't go near that house.' That's what builds the tension in horror movies and it's what makes them so much fun to make." The Forest Treetops set was constructed inside a soundstage just east of downtown Toronto. Production designer Keywan and her art direction, set dressing and construction teams literally built a forest using a meshwork of half-inch steel tubing covered by artificial "bark," which made it easier to pop off branches and limbs to accommodate lighting, camera angles and placement of actors and stunt players. "Each tree you see in the sequence is actually forty to sixty feet high in the air," explains Keywan, "and this is where all of the action takes place up in the treetops, not down on the forest floor." "Moviegoers are used to seeing things take place on the ground," says Winston, "but in our movie it's a helluva lot scarier up in the trees with the 'wildlife.'" The filmmakers were determined that the film's environments would look and feel realistic. Reality, too, played a huge part in the design, creation and implementation of the special effects makeup for the three mountain men. WRONG TURN's mountain men, played by Julian Richings, Garry Robbins and Ted Clark, endured several hours in the makeup chair each day they worked while Mahan and his team of artists transformed them into the characters Three-Finger, Saw-Tooth and One-Eye. "I like to think that everything we do at Stan Winston Studios is grounded in reality," says Winston. "If you're creating aliens they have to be grounded in a reality. I'd say our dinosaurs in 'Jurassic Park' are the most paleontologically correct ever created for film. So it only makes sense that we base these mountain men in a human reality, albeit a gruesome and grotesque one. "Making things as real as possible in a film like this is paramount to its success," adds Winston, "because if the audience believes what they see then we can take them even further toward the edge. Then we can really terrify them by putting these six very likeable characters in jeopardy. That's how the audience can relate to the characters. "Does that mean we're going to wreak some havoc on our characters?" he asks. "Could be. Could be." ABOUT THE CAST Born in Savannah, Georgia, DESMOND HARRINGTON (Chris) grew up in the Bronx, New York.
