‘The Carmilla Movie’ Sets Streaming, Theatrical Premiere Dates
“The Carmilla Movie,” based on the lesbian-vampire romance web series that has become a cult favorite, is set to hit the internet — as well as theaters in Canada — next month.
The film will be available to fans who pre-ordered the film from on Vimeo’s VHX beginning Oct. 26. Then on Oct. 27, “The Carmilla Movie” will hit subscription VOD service Fullscreen, the exclusive worldwide streaming home for the film.
In addition, the film’s producer, Toronto-based Shaftesbury, is teaming with Cineplex Events to hold screenings in 30 cities across Canada on Oct. 26. The theatrical screenings of “The Carmilla Movie” will feature additional footage that will not be available on streaming platforms carrying the film.
“’Carmilla’ is a global phenomenon and we are so thrilled to bring our beloved characters and captivating story world to the big screen,” said Christina Jennings, chairman and CEO of Shaftesbury and executive producer of the movie.
The series and film come from Shaftesbury’s Smokebomb Entertainment digital studio and its shift2 branded-entertainment agency. The “Carmilla” series, which debuted in August 2014, is sponsored by Kimberly-Clark’s U by Kotex feminine-hygiene brand.
“The Carmilla Movie” stars Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis. Additional cast members include Dominique Provost-Chalkley (Wynonna Earp, Murdoch Mysteries), Grace Lynn Kung (Mary Kills People, The Strain), and Cara Gee (The Expanse, Inhuman Condition) as well as returning Carmilla cast Annie Briggs (Luvvie, Murdoch Mysteries), Kaitlyn Alexander (Couple-ish, Full Out), Nicole Stamp (The Handmaid’s Tale, First Round Down), and Matt O’Connor (Murdoch Mysteries, Ozion).
In the movie, it has been five years since Laura (Bauman) and Carmilla (Negovanlis) vanquished the apocalypse and Carmilla became a bonafide mortal human. They have settled into a cozy apartment in downtown Toronto; Laura continues to hone her journalism skills while Carmilla adjusts to a non-vampire lifestyle. Their domestic bliss is suddenly ruptured when Carmilla begins to show signs of “re-vamping” – from a fondness for bloody treats to accidental biting – while Laura has started having bizarre, ghostly dreams. The couple must now enlist their old friends from Silas University to uncover the unknown supernatural threat and save humanity – including Carmilla’s.
The Carmilla Movie is produced by Shaftesbury with the participation of Telefilm Canada, the Canada Media Fund, and Hollywood Suite, with the support of the Ontario Media Development Corporation, and with the assistance of The Canadian Film or Video Tax Credit and The Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit.
The Carmilla Movie is directed by Spencer Maybee (Carmilla, Letterkenny ORIDG DIDG); story by Alejandro Alcoba (Degrassi: The Next Generation, The Next Step), screenplay by Alcoba and Jordan Hall (Carmilla, Run Dry). The movie is based on Carmilla the digital series, written by Hall, and co-created by Hall, Jay Bennett, and Steph Ouaknine. The Carmilla Movie is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, and Bennett, and produced by Ouaknine, and Melanie Windle.
The “Carmilla” digital series, comprising 108 five-minute episodes, puts a modern spin on the cult classic gothic vampire novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Available on YouTube channel KindaTV and Fullscreen, the series has generated over 69 million views and 233 million minutes of watch time across all three seasons since its launch in 2014.
