Michael Biehn To Topline Trio Of Grindhouse Films
Aspect Film has inked a 3 picture deal with Blanc/Biehn Productions, for its new genre label Chiller Films.
Michael Biehn, director of The Victim and star of Grindhouse and a string of James Cameron box office hits that include The Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss, will shortly commence filming of The Farm, Up and Down and The Predicator (working titles), which he will run through Blanc/Biehn Productions; the production outfit he owns with Jennifer Blanc-Biehn.
Each of the three grindhouse movies will star Michael Biehn and will be shot in sequence in a 45 day period, with three different directors to be announced. Executive producing along with Blanc/Biehn Productions will be a director that Michael Biehn has worked with before and has great relationship with.
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.”
