An Australian film distributor has bought the rights to a New Zealand horror comedy about homicidal sheep, before even a frame of film has been shot.

Black Sheep, written and to be directed by Jonathan King, sees the tranquil New Zealand farmland disturbed by a genetic experiment gone wrong that turns sheep into crazed killers.

"The animals, locations and traditions of the Kiwi countryside burst to life, turn inside out and go for the jugular," King says.

The Weta Workshop of Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, who cut his teeth on low-budget horror comedies, will be doing the special effects.

"Only a New Zealand filmmaker could come up with a story that turns the cute and cuddly into the evil and menacing," Icon Australia chief executive Mark Gooder said.

Icon will distribute the film in Australia, New Zealand and Britain.

"This is a fun project that is simply and undeniably commercial in its intent," Gooder says.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
