"Lure people out of the villages into its cave with his white face and red nose..." The Weinstein Company has debuted a trailer for the horror film Clown, which is directed by Jon Watts, the filmmaker now set to direct the next Spider-Man movie. It's actually based on a fake trailer that Watts originally made in 2012 that included fake credits for producer Eli Roth. Roth actually saw the trailer, got involved, and helped them make a feature version and this is the final product. The concept is about a clown suit that a father finds that when he puts it on turns him into an evil child-eating clown, which reminds me a bit of Santa Clause or The Mask (though this is much, much more sinister). The cast includes Andy Powers, Laura Allen, Peter Stormare, Christian Distefano, Chuck Shamata, and Elizabeth Whitmere. See both trailers below. Here's the official release...

A dad goes the extra mile to save his son’s birthday party, only to suffer a truly evil change in the horror film Clown. Born from a mock trailer that premiered online in 2010, the Eli Roth-produced Clown will be released this summer, and the official trailer teases a creepy transformation.

An Eli Roth produced horror film about a killer clown. As concepts go, Clown has itself a real doozy. When the clown he hired for his son’s birthday party flakes out on him, a desperate dad and real estate agent dresses up in the clown costume he finds in the basement of one of his properties. His clown act is a resounding success, but isn’t quite so funny the next day, when he can’t get the make-up, wig or nose off his face. Even worse, he appears to be transforming into a child-eating demonic clown. It’s up to his wife and a dodgy Peter Stormare to save the poor guy before its too late – both for...

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Clown, no doubt because purveyor of gore and grue, Eli Roth (Hostel), has his name attached to the film. So forgive me if I came away from the movie feeling a little under-whelmed. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed what I saw but I couldn’t help but feel it needed something more… After all, when you break the story down, it’s not much more than a Tales From the Crypt/Tales From the Darkside-style morality play; and those two TV shows told their stories in less than thirty minutes.

I haven't seen an effective killer clown movie since the 1990 TV miniseries based on Stephen King's It and now it looks like we'll finally get a worthy killer clown follow-up.

In 2010, a group of talented artists put together a pretty great looking trailer for a fake movie directed by the very real Eli Roth titled Clown. Somewhere along the line Roth saw the trailer, was impressed by it and approached the filmmakers to make the movie for real with Roth as producer. Fast forward to 2014 and here we have it, the real trailer for director Jon Watts' Clown.

The movie, which stars Andy Powers, Peter Stormare, Laura Allen and Elizabeth Whitmere follows a father who dawns a clown suit for his son's birthday party only to discover that the suit is cursed and turns the we [Continued ...]...

Title: If I Were You Director: Joan Carr-Wiggin Starring: Marcia Gay Harden, Leanor Watling, Aidan Quinn, Joseph Kell, Michael Therriault, Gary Piquer, Bethany Jillard, Elizabeth Whitmere, Claire Brosseau An odd little duck of a film, writer-director Joan Carr-Wiggin’s “If I Were You” kicks around enjoyably for quite a while in the same sandbox as some of Woody Allen’s mid-career farces, before eventually pivoting and skipping off into less rewarding territory. The story of a woman who accidentally learns of her husband’s infidelity and then enters into a strange friendship and pact with his unwitting mistress, this bouncy but meandering comedy would benefit from an editorial haircut that trims down some of its less inspired subplots.

THR just checked in with even more casting news for the Eli Roth produced flick Clown. According to the site Peter Stormare (Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters, Fargo) and Laura Allen (From Within, The Collective) will also star.

They join the previously announced Andy Powers, Christian Distefano, Elizabeth Whitmere, and Matthew Stefiuk.

Jon Watts is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Christopher D. Ford. It became an Internet “thing” when a spoof trailer circulated back in 2011. In the film “a loving father dons a clown outfit, wig, bulbous nose, and pancake makeup to entertain at his son, Jack’s (Distefano), sixth birthday after the clown-for-hire is a no-show. Unable to take off the clown garb, dad’s personality changes in horrific fashion.

An additional piece of casting news has hit the interwebs for the Eli Roth produced fear flick Clown. "Oz" alumnus Andy Powers has joined the cast and is currently in Ottawa filming. Look for more on this one as we get it.

In October 2010, a mock trailer for Clown was released by Jon Watts and Christopher D. Ford, which featured Eli Roth’s name, even though he was unaware of the trailer’s existence. Eventually, this got the attention of Eli Roth and he ended coming on board as a producer to give these guys the opportunity to make a full feature out of their concept.

After not hearing much about Clown this year, it’s been revealed movie is filming right now in Ottawa and we have some casting news to share. According to The Welland Tribune, Seven year old Christian Distefano will be playing Jack, “the son of a man who tries on a clown suit for a birthday party and becomes possessed by the spirit which inhabits it.” Elizabeth Whitmere and Matthew Stefiuk have been cast as the parents, and Bloody Disgusting reports that Andy Powers (Oz) will appear in the movie as well.

News comes from the strangest places sometimes. Case in point: the Niagara Falls Review, which is reporting that seven-year-old Niagara Falls native Christian Distefano is currently in Ottawa filming the spook flick Clown, produced by Eli Roth.

The film co-stars Elizabeth Whitmere and Matthew Stefiuk.
