Heads Are Gonna Roll On This Killer Sales Poster for ‘Headless’

You’re hearing a lot of the EFM and it’s because it’s a market in Berlin where producers, sales companies, and everyone else gathers to sell their movies to distributors across the world.

Headless has been on the market since last Cannes and is now heading to Berlin with an absolutely killer piece of sales art: a badass, Ghost Rider–style headless horseman on a motorcycle, riding atop a mountain of bones. “Heads are gonna roll,” the tagline declares.

In the film, a rudderless hitchhiker and a driven woman avenging her family’s death must stop a motorcycle-riding semi-immortal ghoul that feeds off the carnage it causes on desert highways by decapitating it and getting its head far enough away, long enough, from its relentlessly pursuant still-living body.

It’s being directed by genre filmmaking duo The Spierig Brothers, known for movies including Daybreakers, Jigsaw, Winchester and the upcoming Fall 2.

It’s described as a contemporary re-imagining of the Headless Horseman mythology with nods to Mad Max and The Terminator.

Written by Shane Armstrong (The Contents) and S.P. Krause (The Contents) the film will be produced by industry vet Chris Brown (Daybreakers) for his Picture in Paradise, Martin Metz (Mandy) for Rosewood Pictures and Diana Le Dean (Sting) and developed with support from Screen Queensland.

Altitude is handling international sales and will be presenting the project to buyers art EFM.
