‘He’ll Come Knocking’ – Patrick Brice Directing Robert McCammon Horror Movie for Paramount
The Robert McCammon story He’ll Come Knocking at Your Door is getting a big screen adaptation from Paramount, with Patrick Brice (Creep) on board to direct the feature film.
The news comes courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter today, with the site exclusively reporting that Paramount has picked up the spec package for Brice to direct.
Jordan Goldberg and Alex Paraskevas are writing the screenplay.
THR reports, “He’ll Come Knocking At Your Door tells of an ex-con who gets a new job in a revitalized factory town in the hopes of turning around his family’s life, only to soon discover that their idyllic suburban dream requires a terrible sacrifice.”
“Sources describe the project as being in the tone of the fight-for-your-life survival aspects of such movies as Ready or Not, The Purge and Squid Game,” the site’s report continues.
Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey’s Temple Hill Entertainment (Smile) will produce.
Patrick Brice recently directed the Netflix slasher There’s Someone Inside Your House.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
