Seven Arts signs Anthony Hickox to helm horror Catwalk, with supermodel Julie Ordon starring

Seven Arts Pictures announced that famed director Anthony Hickox, director of Waxwork and Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth, is signed to direct the Company’s new horror film Catwalk. Tony Hickox recently completed the suspense thriller Knife Edge with Seven Arts Pictures, which is scheduled for release in 2009.

The Company further announced that Julie Ordon has signed to star in Catwalk. Julie Ordon is well-known as the face and body in the Victoria’s Secret catalog, the cover of magazines like Glamour and Elle, and she’s acted in several European and American films. Ordon appeared on the cover of the French edition of Playboy in December 2007, and she is the face for Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick shot by Bettina Rheims. She recently attended the Cannes Film Festival to announce her role.

Catwalk follows the story of a stunning young woman who is taking the modeling industry by storm as she is drawn into the always exciting yet oftentimes dangerous world of high fashion, glamour and excess. The fact that the city is gripped by fear and speculation following the brutal murders of four supermodels is not enough to slow her down. Only when a whirlwind of fame starts to threaten her sense of identity, she moves closer to discovering the darker secrets of who and what she is.

“We are thrilled to announce that we have signed Julie Ordon to star in Catwalk,” said company Founder and Chairman Peter Hoffman. “Julie has established a significant fan base from around the world throughout her modeling career and we are proud to have signed this versatile talent. The horror genre continues to be popular throughout the world and Anthony Hickox is a well known and popular director with horror fans.”

For nearly a decade, Seven Arts, PLC has remained a prominent full service independent producer and distributor of quality feature films. Under the experienced hand of Founder and Chairman Peter Hoffman, the company has distinguished itself as a consistent source for both quality films that boast “festival cache,” as well as highly-marketable big budget feature films that appeal to a worldwide audience.
