Neil Marshall to Direct Extreme Cuisine Horror Movie

Are you a fan of Kitchen Nightmares? If so, you should be especially interested in Neil Marshall’s next horror flick Underground, which sounds like it will definitely bring new meaning to the phrase. I’ve been curious to see what genre he will hop to next after doing a straight up Roman-era action flick with Centurion, but I think it’s safe to say that this one defies categorization. It is being described as a “horror thriller set in the world of gourmet underground supper clubs.” No, seriously.

According to Mike Fleming at Deadline New York, the movie revolves around a young chef who gets caught up in the “terrifying underbelly of extreme cuisine.” It is currently being set up at Ozla Pictures (Shutter, The Grudge 3), and the script was written by David Cohen, but there are so many David Cohens out there that I have no idea which one it is. (I’m assuming it’s not David X. Cohen of Futurama fame.)

As silly as it sounds, I’m intrigued by the concept, although I’m not quite sure what it means. I am picturing something like Hostel, where rich people pay to eat human beings, but maybe that’s too obvious? I’m sure there are plenty of disgusting places they can take this, I just hope it’s not in 3-D. Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to that Burst 3D movie that he was supposed to be doing with Sam Raimi?
