Fever Dreams LLC announces the signing of actor Tony Todd (CANDYMAN 1, 2, 3, FINAL DESTINATION 1, 2, THE CROW) as the title character of the feature production tentatively titled, “SHADOW”, which has just begun principal photography in the Philadelphia area. This is the second film to be produced by Fever Dreams LLC since the domestic and international success of their first feature, “FLESH FOR THE BEAST.” SHADOW is an action/horror film set in a women's prison. The cast features an ensemble of strong, action-oriented female characters that must unite to wage an all-out battle against a hungry horde of zombies who rise from the prison grounds. Leading the caged fighters is Fever Dreams' star discovery, Carla Greene, who takes on all foes- living and dead! Making his U.S. directorial debut with SHADOW is award-winning director of photography Derek Wan. His impressive previous cinematography credits include MANHATTAN MIDNIGHT, Jet Li's FIST OF LEGEND, Michelle Yeoh's ROYAL WARRIORS and ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA V, among others. Tony Leung Siu-Hung, whose countless credits include Bruce Lee's ENTER THE DRAGON, Jackie Chan's TWIN DRAGONS and LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN MASTER, is the film's action choreographer.
