For a guy whose debut feature “The Room” has attained a “Troll 2”-like status among its fans, director/actor/writer/producer Tommy Wiseau is having the kind of career most budding filmmakers could only dream of. “The Room” is quickly becoming a staple of the midnight screening circuit and seven years after it was first made it continues to pack theaters with audiences ready to experience the film’s peculiar charms.
Well, fans rejoice, because Wiseau has a new film on the way, the curiously titled “The House That Drips Blood On Alex.” The teaser doesn’t reveal much except a writhing, naked, blood covered Wiseau wailing but it should be enough get fans excited.
Ever the marketer (he had a billboard for “The Room” up at L.A.’s Highland Avenue intersection for nearly five years) Wiseau and his cast will unveil the film at Comic Con. No word on what or how much footage will be unveiled, but fans may want to bring their spoons. And oh yeah, Tommy Wiseau and “The Room” are the subject of a pretty solid feature article in the latest issue of Harper’s. Check it out.
