Even though it’s located about six hours north of where I currently reside, I admittedly knew very little about the Winchester Mystery House prior to last week, which is when Daily Dead attended a special tour of one of the most haunted houses in America, alongside Michael and Peter Spierig. The duo recently celebrated the debut of the new trailer for their upcoming supernatural horror project, Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built, which stars Oscar-winner Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke, and Sarah Snook (who the directors recently collaborated with on Predestination), and the filmmakers were eager to head inside and talk more about the lengths they went to in order to stay true to who they believed Sarah Winchester was, and her passion for turning Winchester into one of the most perplexing properties in history.

Filmmakers Michael Spierig & Peter Spierig ("Daybreakers," "Predestination") have been set to direct the supernatural thriller "Winchester" for Diamond Pictures, Blacklab Entertainment and Bullitt Entertainment.
The Spierigs have penned the script which is based on the world famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester firearms fortune, came to believe she had been cursed by her lethal legacy.
She consulted a medium, who sent her to San Jose in 1884 to begin a massive construction process that took 38 years and resulted in a 160-room Gothic mansion. Brett Tomberlin and Tim McGahan are producing the film which will be shot on the premises of the actual home as well as filming other scenes in Australia.

In the Us Jennifer Kent.s The Babadook has raked in more than $US950,000 at cinemas and been viewed online, legally, more than 360,000 times. The horror movie starting Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman thus ranks as the most successful title ever for the Us distributor IFC Midnight, which typically releases films in a handful of cinemas day-and-date with VOD, or straight to VOD.
By contrast, The Babadook platformed at three cinemas last November, concurrent with VoD, and gradually expanded to 80 screens.

When two Australian films open on the same weekend after getting mostly positive reviews at Miff and generate copious publicity for the stars and filmmakers, the industry might have expected both to post solid opening figures.
Yet there were modest debuts for the Spierig brothers. Predestination and Matthew Saville.s Felony, reigniting the debate about how hard it can be for Australian films to cut through with mainstream audiences.
The Spierig.s time-travelling thriller featuring Ethan Hawke, Noah Taylor and a knock-out performance from Sarah Snook, rang up $202,000 on 49 screens plus about 4 grand in previews, released by Pinnacle Films.
Saville.s psychological thriller starring Joel Edgerton, Tom Wilkinson and Jai Courtney made $185,000 on 47 and $197,000 with sneaks, handled by Roadshow.
The per-screen averages for both are far better than The Rover (which debuted with $143,000 on 41 screens) and These Final Hours ($207,000 on 164).
