UPDATE: MGM Takes ‘The Amityville Horror’ Online
Very important update can be found here: I hope you’re sitting down for this little gem of a scoop… MGM is currently out to writers for a new AMITYVILLE HORROR film. The franchise will continue on as a direct-to-disc release, with more than one sequel planned. But here’s the kicker, MGM wants the story to be focused around multimedia and “the internet” (I’m not kidding, how lame is that?). Haven’t these ‘effin suits learned anything from THE MANGLER 2.0, STRANGELAND, CRY WOLF, STAY ALIVE, SCREAM 3, PULSE, FEAR DOT COM, among others? What do you guys think they should do with the next AMITYVILLE HORROR? For those of you who don’t know, in the original ’70s film, which is based on “supposed” true events, newlyweds move into a house where a murder was committed, and experience strange manifestations which drive them away.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
