‘The Firstling’ Threatens Unborn Child
Milo Ventimiglia (Pathology, The Divide), Gabriel Macht (The Spirit) and Andie MacDowell (Footloose, Groundhog Day) are wrapping up shooting on The Firstling, a ghost story movie directed by Peter Antonejevich, reports THR.
The Firstling is pulling up its stakes after a shoot in Savannah, Ga. Rebecca Da Costa (Trick of the Witch, Seven Below), and Louis Gossett Jr. (Enemy Mine, Jaws 3) co-star in the movie, which was written by Nissar Modi.
“The movie tells of a pregnant woman who is afraid she’ll lose her unborn child if she doesn’t avenge a supernatural entity.”
Peter D. Graves (Killer Elite), David Jones (“Dr. T & the Women”) and Warren Ostergard (“Freerunner”) are producing under the TinRes Entertainment production banner.
Horror stalwart Richard Brake (Barbarian, The Strangers trilogy) puppeteers a dangerous secret as Geppetto in a new clip from Pinocchio Unstrung.
Part of the cinematic universe known as the “Poohniverse,” Pinocchio Unstrung puts a horror movie spin on the classic tale, releasing in theaters on July 24, 2026.
Meet Geppetto and his creepy wooden puppet in an official clip from Pinocchio Unstrung below.
The chilling reimagining of the familiar fable is set inside an elite London prep school. Created by Geppetto and influenced by a sinister Cricket, Pinocchio launches a violent crusade to carve himself into a real boy like his brother, one piece at a time…
Horror icon Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street) voices the role of Cricket.
Pinocchio is voiced by Jude Evan Lloyd and brought to life via a practical animatronic created by Todd Masters (“Tales from the Crypt,” Slither). Cameron Bell, Jessica Balmer, Jack Art Gray, and Peter De Souza-Feighoney also star.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey) writes and directs the fairy tale slasher, in addition to producing alongside Scott Jeffrey via their Jagged Edge Productions.
Pinocchio Unstrung has been rated ‘R’ for “strong bloody horror violence and gore, language and brief graphic nudity.”
This is fifth entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe, following Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, and Bambi: The Reckoning.
The Poohniverse continues with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3, currently in production, and the crossover film Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, slated to shoot this summer.
