Celebrated horror novelist Harry Shannon’s debut screenplay is in the unusually assured hands of first-time director Yossi Sasson with DEAD AND GONE. When retired Hollywood executive Frankie falls into a coma, her unhappy trophy husband, young actor Jack Wade, simply wants to put the regretted marriage behind him…and finally inherit the assets he so needs. How to do that? It’s as easy as bringing Frankie back to Jack’s cabin so he can quietly kill her and move on. The only problem is, the cabin is the very same one in which a man murdered his entire family 40 years earlier. After doing the dirty deed, Jack begins to suspect that Frankie isn’t truly dead, and the lines between imagination and what’s real begin to blur for the poor guy. Kyle Gass, one half of comedy-rock band Tenacious D, and horror regular Zack Ward co-star in this scary tale.
Taylor Peters is a television writer and producer working on a low-rated, little-respected half-hour sitcom. Taylor was probably destined for better things, but his compulsive gambling, recreational drug use and drinking problem (now under control) all conspired to throw his career off the rails several years back. Now all he does is play the horses, but does his best to keep his wife Lorraine in the dark about it. Unexpectedly, Taylor and Lorraine are called to Lorraine’s sister’s house to deal with a family emergency: Taylor’s twenty-year-old niece Amanda is living in Las Vegas where, it’s been recently discovered, she’s working as a prostitute. On their way home, Lorraine finds racing stubs in the glove compartment, and decides to leave Taylor. Lorraine decides not to come home. Taylor comes up with a plan: he’ll win back his wife’s affections and trust by going to Las Vegas, finding Amanda and delivering her to rehab in Malibu. And while he’s there, he vows, he won’t gamble a cent. Alas, the best laid plans.
