Neil Marshall Writing World War 2 Alien Invasion Flick
During an interview with Live for Films, The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Doomsday and Centurion director Neil Marshall revealed a screenplay he’s currently working on, while also “chasing about 12 various projects.”
When asked for details on the script, the seasoned UK director explained that “It’s a World War 2 alien invasion story,” before being interrupted by the ecstatic fan who literally asks Marshall if he just scored a scoop. Unfortunately, the “reporter” was much too excited about his “scoop” that he never presses on for more details.
Marshall is also producing The Haunted, Axelle Carolyn’s directorial debut from her own screenplay.
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.”
