It is a Warren Comics style short film starring Maggie Moor as a stranded cosmonaut on Mars.

Sea of Perdition / Youtube -sic.

Thank you very much. I had heard about Stanley taking a trip to Iceland, but thought it was related to the Nephilim video shoot. My bad.

There are 5 segments in total.

THE WOODCUTTER - dir: Maxwell Isaac
THE SEA OF PERDITION - dir: Richard Stanley (with VACATION co-writer Maggie Moor in the lead)
THE MAGICIAN - dir: Corentin Lecourt (starring Richard Stanley!)
FERAL - dir: Nikolai Galitzine
BORDERLAND - dir: Immo Horn (Stanley's long-time associate)

All of the pieces are based on the same piece of music.


Any chance in catching a copy of this?

We will be posting the film up on the site in the next few weeks... a trailer will be up on Wednesday and will be featured in an upcoming issue of Specialten on DVD.
best,

How about GHOST TOWN?

Stanley is credited as an occult specialist, with Immo Horn attached as a cinematographer.

Should be a trailer up there right now, but it doesn't work for me.

Sitges will have a big night on Oct. 12th, they will be presenting DUST DEVIL, HARDWARE and SEA OF PERDITION in the same slot, entitled "Sitges classics - Tribute to Richard Stanley". HARDWARE in particular is interesting, the film will return to Sitges 16 years after its initial presentation.

Sea of Perdition is marked to run at 8 minutes.

Hey,
The trailer IS up. It is a quicktime MP4 format. Sea of Perdition runs at 8' 5".
Ghost Town is a feature aiming to be shot in January now. Richard was the inspirator and advisor since it is a Cthulhu mythos film set in South London. It is the Mi-Go vs. South London Gangs as conjured by a Haitian priest (in a nutshell), with fx by BUF Compagnie - http://www.buf.fr
We have shot some scenes and when Immo returns (who is in Africa shooting a documentary) we shall continue. Tricky plays the priest... more soon.

Finally had a chance to see the trailer. Looks nice.

On Errant Films' website, there's also a teaser page for the SEA OF PERDITION segment.

From Errant Films.com:

October 7th

# We are finishing post production on Richard Stanley's entry to the Johann Johannsson show - The Sea of Perdition. Great assistance from Hannah Walker at Redwing Animation and Simon Lower for the 3D backup, with Torquil Deardon on 2D.

October 22nd

# The Sea of Perdition showed (by the skin of a whisker) at the Prado Cinema in Sitges last Saturday. Even in a working state, it was looking good. It is now being polished up and sent off to festivals near you soon.

# Corentin has a blog open now, for those of you who speak French: http://cinecitto.blogspot.com ; the big question is: will he talk about Iceland and his adventures? If not, then never fear, since we will be releasing the Iceland Video Diaries very soon. It makes Lost In La Mancha look like a tea party.

Thanks for posting that, Alvy.

I guess the film went offline for a moment.

Anyway, here are the working links:

Check it out. Now.

From Grebhtor Smoo's MySpace:

"His unpublished novella 'The Sea of Perdition' was recently adapted into a film by British genre hack Richard Stanley with whom he is currently collaborating on an unofficial sequel, 'The Fields of Elysium'."

Finally watched this on the Hardware Blu-Ray- A good portion of the music in this is actually John Barry's score from Moonraker!
