…which I keep reading and typing as Warhorse – and this is not that epic Steven Spielberg production.
XLrator Media has just announced they’ve purchased the US rights to Warhouse, a psychological thriller starring The Vampire Diaries‘ Joseph Morgan. Luke Massey wrote and directed the drama, which also stars Matt Ryan and William Troughton.
Announcing the acquisition, XLrator Media CEO Barry Gordon stated: “We are thrilled to be working with the incredibly talented team of Luke Massey and Joseph Morgan. Those who only know Joseph from The Vampire Diaries will be blown away by his mesmerizing performance in Warhouse. He’s one of the brightest young actors working today.”
The Plot: The story follows Royal Marine A.J. Budd (Morgan) who awakens in a mysterious house. Trapped alone in an unchanging prison of unbreakable routines and fighting for his life against grotesque inhuman opponents, he must kill every day or die himself. As days stretch into years, the isolation and unceasing violence threaten his very soul. The only note of hope lies in the journals of a former prisoner, WWI officer Lieutenant Edward Sterling (Ryan), which he discovers behind a secret wall.
Sterling’s diaries help the young Marine stay alive in the forsaken prison. But what dark fate befell their author? The stories of the two men from different eras interweave as their desperation to escape the “Warhouse” and its endless killing leads them both to take terrible measures.
