Joel Schumacher to Revisit ‘The Hive’ of a Serial Killer
Robert Stein and Michael Helfant’s Troika Pictures has announced a slate of new projects, including the Joel Schumacher-helmed suspense thriller The Hive, reports Variety.
From a script by Rich D’Ovidio (who penned the Thir13en Ghosts redo for Dark Castle and Warners), the pic “centers on an emergency operator who must confront a killer from her past to save a young girl’s life.”
Schumacher is best known in the horror world as the director of the 1987 The Lost Boys, and most recently returned to the genre with the direct-to-video title Blood Creek. He also helmed the bizarre Batman sequels, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, along with the totally badass 8MM.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
