Issa López Project ‘The Girl With a Thousand Names’ Finds a Home at HBO Max
We’ve been anxiously awaiting what’s next from Tigers Are Not Afraid filmmaker Issa López, and Deadline reports today that New Line has picked up a brand new script from Lopez!
Titled The Girl With a Thousand Names, López’s new movie has been acquired by New Line, with the filmmaker directing and producing the movie for the HBO Max service.
Deadline details, “The script tells the fantastically real story of a child from another world, trapped in our broken reality… without documents, in a detention center for unaccompanied minors and children separated from their families at the U.S. Border.”
Last we heard, Issa López also has a handful of other projects in various stages of development, including Our Lady of Tears for Blumhouse and a project with Guillermo del Toro.
More on The Girl With a Thousand Names as we learn it.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
