Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Zegers Take A Bite Out Of ‘The Colony’
Laurence Fishburne (Contagion, Predators, Event Horizon) is in final negotiation to star in The Colony, a $16 million Canadian indie feature scheduled to shoot in Toronto through March 30, reports THR.
Frozen and Vampire star Kevin Zegers is also near to joining the cast for the sci-fi thriller “about a group of underground survivors after the next Ice Age fending off an invasion of feral cannibals.”
Jeff Renfroe is now directing The Colony, based on a script he co-wrote with Patrick Tarr, Pascal Trottier and Svet Rouskov.
Producers are keeping the cast list under wraps until production gets underway in Toronto on February 22.
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.”
