‘Monsters’ Star Circling Both ‘Lincoln’ and ‘Prometheus’
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.

Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, has acquired Worldwide rights to debut filmmaker G.S. Foxwood’s horror film Wild Eyed and Wicked, Bloody Disgusting has learned this morning. The film will be released on June 11, 2024 on digital and cable on demand outlets, with further details on the worldwide roll-out still to come.
Bloody Disgusting has been told, “The film blends elements of horror, familial drama, and fantasy to create a unique, emotionally powerful, and genuinely terrifying experience.”
Molly Kunz (Widows, The Irrational), Michael X. Sommers (Sense8), Stefanie Estes (Soft & Quiet), and Colleen Camp (Clue) star in the upcoming Wild Eyed and Wicked.
Check out some exclusive first-look images and expect the trailer soon.
Wild Eyed and Wicked follows Lily Pierce (Kunz) in her attempt to strike back at the medieval creature that’s haunted her family for generations. She must reconnect with her estranged father, Gregory (Sommers), a disgraced history professor, and learn how to draw upon a time of steel and blade when armor-clad knights rode out and dueled monsters to the death.
The film is produced by Big Bad Film’s Powell Robinson and Patrick R Young. Written by G.S. Foxwood and Executive Produced by Elizabeth Foxwood and New Mythology Productions.
Wild Eyed and Wicked is coming off premieres at Dances with Films NYC and Austin Film Festival where it won the Dark Matters Audience Award. Previous films from Big Bad Film include Bastard (2015) and Threshold (2021), which is currently streaming on Arrow Player.
