Yellow Veil Pictures Acquires Sales Rights to NYC Thriller 'Corpus'
Yellow Veil Pictures has secured the worldwide sales rights for the upcoming thriller 'Corpus,' ahead of its highly anticipated world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival. The film marks the directorial debut of Corrin Evans, who co-wrote the screenplay with lead actress Lily Cowles. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant and gritty 1990s New York City nightlife scene, the project has generated significant industry buzz as it prepares for its festival debut.
The production features a notable ensemble cast, including Jeff Wahlberg, Brodie Townsend, Michael Vlamis, Nuha Jes Izman, and Ching Valdes-Aran. The film is backed by a collaborative production team, including Cowles, Evans, Alix Taylor, Sarah Mather of Pinky Promise Films, and Thomas Wallis of Two Canz Films. This diverse group of producers brings a wealth of experience from previous projects like 'Maniac' and 'Wishful Thinking' to this new venture.
For Yellow Veil Pictures, boarding 'Corpus' represents a strategic move to capitalize on the growing demand for stylized, period-specific genre films. By securing the rights before the Fantasia premiere, the company is positioning itself to leverage the festival's reputation as a launchpad for cult hits and indie darlings. The film’s focus on the atmospheric intensity of 90s NYC suggests a strong potential for international appeal, particularly among audiences drawn to nostalgic, high-stakes thrillers.
