From ‘Psycho’ to ‘Alien’, ’78/52′ Team Begin ‘Chestburster’ Documentary!
With their latest genre documentary, 78/52, set to arrive this very Friday the 13th, the team behind the Psycho shower scene analysis are moving from the bathroom to the breakfast table.
Revealed on the Exhibit A Pictures‘ Facebook page the company will blast off to the mess hall of the USCSS Nostromo to dissect the iconic Xenomorph entrance with Chestburster. We’re already salivating with acid to see the shape of the project takes and interviews secured.
JohnHurt was forever immortalized as Gilbert Kane in Ridley Scott’s Alien, the ill-fated officer who was impregnated by a Facehugger. In one of the most iconic and terrifying scenes in horror history, Kane literally gave birth to the film’s Xenomorph through his chest – a scene that still to this day is sure to make you jump, squirm, and maybe lose some sleep.
78/52 is released in the US by IFC Midnight and in Canada from Kinosmith with a one-week engagement at Toronto’s TIFF Bell Lightbox.
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.”
