The ABCs Of Death Reveals Its First Bloody Image

Several Months back we brought you the skinny regrading a very interesting project which is being produced by Drafthouse Films, Magnet Pictures and Timpson Films known as The ABCs of Death. The a 26-chapter film will showcase death in all its vicious wonder and brutal beauty. With Twenty-five established directors involved (see list below) and 1 amateur this project is epic to say the least.

Each director was asgned a letter from the alphabet that represented a word to act as a springboard for a short story of death. It was up to each filmmaker to interpret the letter and word that they were asgned to tell a deathly tale, from the accidental to murder most foul. The sum of these parts, from A to Z, will be THE ABCs OF DEATH.
