Already halfway through production, the new thriller from Twisted Pictures has a new title—or to be precise, has gone back to the old one. Initiated as TORTURED, then untitled for a while, the film (which we last reported on here) is now known as THE TORTURED. Being helmed by Robert (FIRE IN THE SKY) Lieberman, it marks another shift in direction for the production entity, after already tossing the successful SAW recipe out the window to take a risk with the much-buzzed-about REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA. “The problem is that when you’re Twisted Pictures, people are already expecting you to make another SAW movie,” producer Carl Mazzocone told Fango during a recent set visit. “People who would really like this film may be taken aback by its title and the fact that it’s ‘from the producers of SAW.’ ”
Indeed, the sympathies in this psychological suspenser lie with the ones doing the torturing; Erika Christensen and Jesse Metcalfe star as a couple torn apart by the abduction and murder of their young son, who decide to kidnap and abuse the man responsible (Bill Moseley, pictured) after he slips through the judicial system. The film is being independently produced by Twisted and Chicago-based Lighttower Entertainment; look for more from the set on this site very soon! —Dayna Van Buskirk
