June 6, 2005 -- SHADOW WALKERS HAUNT THE TUNNELS OF GATES
Mostly Films, LLC and Cherokee Investments have inked a deal allowing the Colorado-based film production company to use the old Gates Rubber Company facility at 999 S. Broadway as the primary shooting location for the upcoming feature film, The Shadow Walkers.
The Shadow Walkers is a story about workers who awaken, sealed in a subterranean laboratory, with no memory. Hunted by creatures that haunt the twisting tunnels of the facility, The Shadow Walkers exposes the origin of these creatures, the characters' relationships to one another, and the sinister nature of their work together.
"The Gates facility is over a million square feet of dark, gloomy interiors, incredible old machinery, and is a spectacular backdrop for a horror movie. We've scouted locations all over Colorado, including an abandoned nuclear missile silo, but nothing could compare with the 'spook factor' of Gates," says Mostly Films Executive Director, David A. Marchiori.
The facility at Gates was originally just six lots of land purchased in 1914 by the Gates Brothers. Gates grew to become the sixth largest manufacturers of rubber in the world and was a major Denver employer for 85 years before it finally closed its doors. Cherokee Environmental is involved in the long-term plan for the Gates facility, which is eventual demolition, followed by construction of a new "urban village" where residents can easily walk, shop and enjoy common facilities.
"The Gates buildings are a fascinating part of Denver history. I am ecstatic to see them memorialized in our film," says The Shadow Walkers' executive producer, Dave Marchiori.
