First Look at ‘Creep’ Director’s Haunted House Horror ‘The Banishing’!
Bloody Disgusting has the first ever shot from Creep, Triangle, and Severance director Christopher Smith’s haunted house horror The Banishing, from UK-based financier The Fyzz Facility.
The above photo displays Jessica Brown in the lead role as a young reverend’s wife, who along with their daughter (Anya McKenna-Bruce) move into a manor with a horrifying secret. When a demonic spirit possesses the little girl and threatens to tear the family apart, the Reverend is forced to confront his beliefs. Prometheus and Possum‘s Sean Harris also stars with John Lynch.
“We think The Banishing has the ability to rival The Woman in Black as a great gothic horror film,” said The Fyzz Facility’s James Harris when the film was announced in 2017.
Robert Jones, Wayne Marc Godfrey, James Harris and Mark Lane will produce for The Fyzz alongside Jason Newmar. The screenplay comes from Ronnie Thompson, Ray Bogdanovich and Dean Lines (The Hatton Garden Job).
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.”
