Jason Behr – last seen getting scared stiff in The Grudge – is dabbling with supernatural forces again in Touchdown Productions’ The Tattooist.
It’s a story we’ve all experienced- young skin art practitioner becomes obsessed by the Samoan tatau tradition. In his burning desire to learn all he can about the ancient skill, he conflicts with Samoa’s mysticism and unleashes a deadly spirit. In fact, that happened in Empire’s office just last week. We call the spirit Bitey.
It’ll start shooting in Auckland, New Zealand next month, with ads director Peter Burger making the leap to films.
