GRACE’s Paul Solet to Direct Thriller THE FACES

Director Paul Solet (Grace) has been tapped to helm the thriller The Faces for FilmNation Entertainment (House at the End of the Street and The Raven). Written on spec by Eric Reese, The Faces centers on newlyweds who, one year after barely escaping a brutal kidnapping, learn of an underworld society that uses terror as a means of entertainment. FilmNation and Sonny Mallhi (The Strangers) will produce the pic alongside executive producer Chuck Simon.

Although I haven’t seen Solet’s Grace, you can count me amongst those interested in The Faces as the “underworld society” plot point reminds me of Eyes Wide Shut. I know what you’re wondering, and yes, I’m that easily won over by synopses. For a little more on the project, hit the jump for the press release.

HATCHET Director Adam Green and GRACE Director Paul Solet Want to Interest You in a Fackin’ Jack Chop

It’s almost Halloween and you haven’t even started carving your pumpkin!  Using just a regular knife will be far too arduous and you’re starting to think of just picking up a plastic pumpkin from Wal-Mart.  Stop!  Adam Green and Paul Solet, the directors of “Hatchet” and “Grace”, respectively, have just the solution for you: Jack Chop!

Done in the style of an infomercial gone horribly wrong, Solet slathers his words in a thick New England accent and just lets the gore go to work.  Spewing profanities and the inability to die from blood loss, Solet may not make the best case for the Jack Chop but he definitely makes the video worth watching.  It reminded me of the MadTV sketch with Will Sasso as Paul Timberman, an equally accident-prone TV pitchman.  Hit the jump to see both videos.  I’ll even throw in a fackin’ glowstick.
