For a $200,000 movie (I love how the budget constantly changes), Monsters has created quite a trajectory for its director and star.

After Gareth Edwards got the job directing Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla, star Scoot McNairy has landed a lead alongside Brad Pitt and a great supporting cast in the Andrew Dominik-directed Cogan’s Trade, reports Deadline. But what’s important to Bloody Disgusting readers is that he’s in contention for a lead in the Ridley Scott-directed qiasi-Alien prequel Prometheus, and is circling the role of Josh Speed in the Timur Bekmambetov-directed Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, both at Fox.

The director of the incredible (and sorely underseen) indie The Head Hunter, Jordan Downey is back with new horror movie The Cycle, and Deborah Ann Woll (“True Blood”) will star.

Deadline reports today that Shudder has picked up the rights to The Cycle for US and Canada, UK and Ireland, and Australia/New Zealand, with no release date set at this time.

In the film, when the body of a man missing for thirty-six years is discovered at the scene of a horrific crime, it’s up to his estranged daughter to unravel his dark past.

Jordan Downey wrote the screenplay with Kevin Stewart (The Head Hunter).

“We are so excited about The Cycle, Jordan has crafted such an original story that is gonna excite audiences. For us he has the ability to be the next great genre film maker and we can wait to make the movie,” said James Harris of production company Tea Shop (47 Meters Down).

Filming is expected to take place later this year. Stay tuned.
