First Look: Dark Castle’s ‘The Hills Run Red’
As of today, tickets for the world premiere of the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) are now on sale at the festival’s website. But the real news is that the festival has two of the first ever stills from Dave Parker’s The Hills Run Red, which can be viewed beyond the break. For those of you in Seattle, you might want to check out the fest from May 21-June 14 as they’ll also be playing Deadgirl, Black Dynamite, Dead Snow and Grace.
The story centers on a film fanatic whose obsession with finding a complete print of an infamous slasher movie leads him and two friends into the backwoods where the film was shot. They realize too late that filming never ended — and now they must survive a nightmarish onslaught or become part of the movie forever.
The Hills Run Red is expected in stores this Fall from Warner Premiere.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
