WAMG Exclusive: Cory Knauf and Butcher Brothers Reteaming for ‘The Violent Kind’

While talking with Cory Knauf and the cast and crew of ‘Godspeed,’ the subject of what everyone was doing came up.   Cory had an exclusive.   He will be reteaming next month with writer/directors Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores (AKA The Butcher Brothers) on their latest film, ‘The Violent Kind.’   Cory and The Butcher Brothers first worked together on the 2006 horror film, ‘The Hamiltons,’ which also featured ‘Godspeed’ co-star, Joseph McKelheer.

Cory was reluctant to say what ‘The Violent Kind’ would be about.   He did, however, say that he had less than a month to build eight pounds of muscle.   Judging by their past two endeavors into film, ‘The Hamiltons’ and the 2008 remake of ‘April Fool’s Day,’ it doesn’t seem likely The Butcher Brothers will be pulling a family-friendly comedy out of their hats.   The title doesn’t give us that feeling, either.

In a related bit of news, ‘Godspeed’ was awarded the Exceptional Artistic Achievement Award at the 2009 CineVegas Film Festival.   Writer/director Robert Saitzyk, and co-writers/co-stars Knauf and McKelheer accepted the award.   Stay tuned for the exclusive interview with the cast and crew of ‘Godspeed,’ as CineVegas may be coming to a close, but our coverage of it isn’t.   You can also check out my review of ‘Godspeed’ right here.
