CBS Films Boards Supernatural ‘Flight 75’
CBS Films is getting on board Flight 75 which had Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge, Marebito) attached to direct the claustrophobic thriller, reports Variety.
The project’s based on a pitch from Shimizu and “is set on a transpacific airliner where the passengers encounter what seems to be a supernatural force.” Hopefully it’s one million times better than that garbage Altitude.
Taka Ichise (The Grudge, Shutter), Roy Lee (The Ring, The Departed, Pacific Rim) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Phase 7) are producing.
CBS Films is aiming Flight 75 for a late summer/early fall start of production.
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.”
