Footage, New Interview with John Carpenter About ‘The Ward’!
Courtesy of French film website Blog Didier Allouch you’ll find an extremely lengthy new interview with iconic horror director John Carpenter who chats about The Ward, his highly anticipated return to the genre he took to new heights back in 1978 with Halloween. The interview begins at around the 2:50 mark and also features some behind-the-scenes footage. Starring Amber Heard (Zombieland, Many Lane, The Stepfather) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th), The Ward follows a girl (Heard) who is admitted to a psychiatric ward, meets other girls there with distinct personalities and discovers a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night. The last time Carpenter got behind the camera for a feature film was for Ghost of Mars 8 years ago, although he helmed two (excellent) episodes of “Masters of Horror” (“Cigarette Burns”, “Pro-Life”).
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.”
