Magnolia Nabs Sexy Werewolf Horror ‘Jack and Diane’
Quietly going into production, Magnolia Pictures has acquired the worldwide rights to Jack and Diane, written and directed by Bradley Rust Gray. Kylie Minogue, Juno Temple, Riley Keough and Cara Seymour all star.
No release details yet, but expect a limited theatrical run, along with a VOD/DVD launch.
“Jack and Diane, two teenage girls, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough-skinned heart. But when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week, she tries to push her away. Diane struggles to keep their love alive while hiding a secret that her newly awakened sexual desire is turning her into a werewolf.”
Minogue and Temple share a little girl on girl action. I haven’t been this excited since Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried locked lips in Jennifer’s Body.

‘Demon Hunters’ Trailer Unleashes Action Horror Team-Up in Taiwan-India’s First Co-Production
A Taiwanese paranormal YouTuber and an Indian tech engineer are forced to join forces against evil in the trailer for Demon Hunters, the first Taiwan-India co-produced feature.
Light House Productions and Kleos Entertainment Group will release the action horror comedy on Digital and VOD on August 7.
Directed by Mei-Juin Chen (Taiwan) and produced by Gayathiri Guliani (India – Kleos Entertainment Group ) and Cindy Shyu (Taiwan – Light House Productions), Demon Hunters follows “Tommy (played by Taiwan’s heartthrob JC Lin), a YouTuber who fakes exorcisms for views, as he teams up with Sanjay (played by India’s current hot superstar Arjan Bajwa), an Indian tech expert and grandson of a legendary exorcist, to battle a zombie demon possession.”
Jack Kao, Harry Chang, and Regina Lei also star.
“This is a great step toward building globally resonant IP from Asia,” said Guliani, producer at Kleos Entertainment Group. “It demonstrates how culturally rooted stories can transcend borders and unlock new film audience ecosystems. Our hope is to do even more cross-cultural and cross-country collaborations.”
Director Chen stated: “I am proud and excited that three women filmmakers from different cultures and countries came together to create and make Demon Hunters. I am looking forward to working together again and ensuring our voices are heard through stories that have been told traditionally from a male perspective. This film gives us so much insight to do more.”
Shyu, producer at Light House Productions, added: “Bringing together Taiwan and India on this scale has been creatively enriching. The film reflects a seamless blend of storytelling traditions and technical excellence that audiences worldwide can connect with. We are looking forward to the US reception for this wild and fun film.”
The cross-cultural action-horror hybrid features more than 700 VFX shots and a combined Taiwanese-Hindi soundtrack, including the Bollywood-style track “Dadaji Ka Jadoo,” distributed by Sony Music Taiwan.
Demon Hunters will be available in America in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Mandarin, and English.
