‘The Black Demon’ – First Look at Josh Lucas in Megalodon Movie
Originally announced as a Megalodon horror movie, the latest official plot details for The Black Demon are a bit more vague, and we’ve also got a first-look image today.
From Rambo: Last Blood director Adrian Grunberg, The Black Demon is said to be based on a Mexican legend, and indeed the “Black Demon” legend is about a massive shark.
Here’s the new plot synopsis…
“Based on a Mexican legend – While on a trip to Baja, an oilman finds himself and his family stranded on a rig where the sins of his past have put him and all he holds dear in the crosshairs of a sinister force.”
Boise Esquerra wrote the script, and we’ve learned via press release today that the survival thriller from Highland Film Group just wrapped production in the Dominican Republic.
Josh Lucas (The Forever Purge) stars alongside Fernanda Urrejola (Cry Macho) and Julio Cesar Cedillo (Sicario). Check out the first image above and expect more soon.
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.”
