Well, I guess it’s no longer a secret! In a bit of news leaked to Deadline.com, Universal Pictures has acquired Ghost from the Machine (nee Phasma Ex Machina) for a big-budget remake. The deal has been happening behind the scenes for quite some time and we’re very excited about the new project. The original film is doing very well in its third week of release, but a studio picture will allow the story we love (and the ultimately the original film too) to reach a much larger audience than we ever dreamed (and that’s what it’s all about, right?). Anyway, we’re EXTREMELY proud of the original, we’ll continue to exhibit and promote the hell out of it, and we fully support the new team.

At the end of the day, we made a $25,000 supernatural thriller, played festivals around the world, won some awards, got international distribution, AND sold the remake rights to Universal.  Not a bad little run if you ask me.

Here’s the first piece of coverage from Deadline.com

As always, you can catch the film on iTunes, VOD, Bestbuy.com, or directly from us at GhostfromtheMachine.com.  It should also be on Netflix very soon. Please save it in your queue!
