Breck Eisner’s ‘Blood of the Innocent’ Gets Fully Financed
First announced last June, Inferno Entertainment has come aboard to finance Victorian era horror-thriller Blood of the Innocent, with Circle of Confusion producing.
Breck Eisner (The Crazies) is still attached to direct and Bill Marsilii (Deja Vu) is writing. Click here to see what Eisner had to say about the project back in June 2010.
Project is based on a four-issue comic book series pitting Dracula against Jack the Ripper and published by Warp in 1985. “Blood of the Innocent” was written by Rickey Shanklin & Mark Wheatley and drawn by Marc Hempel & Mark Wheatley.
Marsilii has developed a pitch in which Jack the Ripper is saving the world by killing off Dracula’s brides.
It’s unclear if this will affect Eisner directing The Last Witch Hunter for Summit.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
