Twilight is out of control, and now its floodgates have burst, spilling its contents everywhere. Bit players such as Ashley Greene from the Twilight films are now getting genre work — in this case, it’s The Apparition for Joel Silver’s Dark Castle production house.

(To be fair, I have no idea how big or small of a role Greene plays in the Twilight films, because I haven’t seen either of them yet. All I know is that she isn’t one of the dynamic duo the films center around.)

The Apparition is apparently (*yawn*) based on true events, and revolves around “a young couple haunted by a supernatural presence unleashed during a college experiment.” Ooh. The Stanford Prison Experiment with a supernatural twist?

Production will start in early February with writer/director Todd Lincoln at the helm. He’s pretty much a newbie, only having done effects work for Robert Rodriguez’s From Dusk Till Dawn way back in the day.

The horror/sci-fi genre is a battlefield for up-and-coming directors like Lincoln and others, some of whom survive and go on to much bigger and brighter pastures (Eli Roth, for example) while others simply go back to the effects houses they were a part of before.

What do you think of The Apparition? Let us know in the comments!
