Twitchfilm reports that while looking around for information on "Evil Dead 4", they turned up a listing for a Russian film just entering the early stages of production called "Glubina", with a cast list that apparently includes Bruce Campbell, Rutger Hauer and Christopher Lee.

The apparent English working title is "Depth" and the film is based on a novel from the author of the Russian blockbuster "The Night Watch". 'Night' did better business in Russia than the "Lord of the Rings" films and has generated enough buzz that it, along with a pair of in the works sequels, has been picked up for North America by Fox.

"Glubina" is set in the near future where the Internet technologies, coupled with a "deep-program", produced the internationally shared virtual world - the Deeptown. Of its population, the most mysterious are the Divers, who can at will resist the deep-program and see not only the display picture as it is (where everyone sees an illusion of a very real world) but also programs with all their "holes" as images, and do things which the best hackers could never dream of.

Thanks to 'Christofer'.
