Malaysian stunner Natassia Malthe headlines writer/director Matthew Schilling’s feature film debut Avarice. The sci-fi mystery thriller costars Kevin Sorbo (Sorority Party Massacre), Tinsel Korey (Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn), Brad Dourif (Priest), Ray Park (”Heroes”), Jason London (51) and Patricia Richardson (”Home Improvement”).

Peep the trailer:

The synopsis reads:

A mysterious box from space lands in the desert; it holds the power to grant anyone’s desires, but at a deadly cost. When a group of strangers are brought together by their most desperate desires, they will unwittingly release the evil darkness lurking inside.

Malthe’s genre creds include BloodRayne 3: The Third Reich, Alone in the Dark 2, the werewolf thriller Skinwalkers, superhero flick Electra (she shared a kiss with Jennifer Garner), Halloween: Resurrection, the David E. Kelly penned creature-feature Lake Placid, and the most stroke-worthy video game-based actioner ever DOA: Dead or Alive.

Australian actress Amber Clayton is set to star in writer/director Justin Dix’s sci-fi actioner Crawlspace. The film is produced by Wolf Creek director Greg McLean.

The synopsis reads:

The film follows a squad of elite soldiers sent to infiltrate and extract the lead science team from Pine Gap, Australia’s top secret underground military compound, after it comes under attack from unknown forces.

The mission is compromised when they encounter a young woman with no memory of who she is or how she came to be there. As they try to escape, the group quickly discovers all is not as it seems and the facility has become a testing ground for something far more sinister.

Clayton is perhaps best known in the States for her portrayal of Dr. Lisa Reed on the short-lived CBS medical drama “Three Rivers.”

Crawlspace is currently being shot at Docklands studios in Melbourne, Australia.
