Atmosphere Sells New ‘Veronica’ Trailer
Paco Plaza, who reinvigorated the zombie subgenre with [REC], is looking to do the same with the famed Ouija board in Veronica, from Film Factory. While the first footage was electric, a new international trailer delivers on atmosphere, score, and sound design.
Veronica is about a young woman (Sandra Escacena) who must protect her younger brother and sister after she attempts to bring back the spirit of their dead father through an Ouija ritual.
Sony’s international arm will release Veronica on August 25th, which means it’s quite possible that Sony, who released a few of the [REC] films here in the States, could also do the same with this. It will also screen at the FrightFest Film Festival in London.
Ana Torrent also stars with Leticia Dolera and Consuelo Trujillo.
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.”
