[News Bites] TV Edition: A New Character For “American Horror Story” And A New Start For “Dexter”
Wherein I give you two updates that were too small to warrant their own posts. First off? The Seventh Season of “Dexter” now has the air-date of September 30th at 9pm ET/PT. Will his sister Deborah still be in love with him now that she knows he’s a serial killer? OMG that show seems to have gone nuts (I didn’t catch Season Six – let me know if it’s as crazy as it sounds in the comments).
Secondly. There’s a new character coming to “American Horror Story”. And she earns the “double Angelina Jolie reference” award. Per TV Line, “The series regular character, Gia, is described as a fierce, ferocious, extremely sexual and dangerous wild-child sexpot who harbors a secret — “think Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted,” reads the casting notice.”
Seems like they definitely have a specific image in mind.
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.”
