Sony Screen Gems’ Major Date Shifts, 3D Maneuvers
Sony Screen Gems has made some major changes in their forthcoming genre slate. Let’s start with the highly anticipated Underworld 4, which is said to no longer be arriving in 3-D. The vampires vs werewolves action-saga will arrive in theaters on September 23, 2011. This is a major delay from the originally announced Jan ’11 date. Scott Charles Stewart’s follow-up to Legion, Priest, will now be arriving in cinemas on January 14, 2011 – shifting from its original August ’10 date – and is also said to be converting to 3-D. Lastly, The Roommate is being pushed out of its September slot all the way back to February 4, 2011. So while 2010 will be a quiet year from Screen Gems, 2011 is set to explode.

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.”
