James Gunn Producing Untitled Horror Film from ‘The Hive’ Director
James Gunn, the man behind the Guardians of the Galaxy films, is certainly no stranger to horror, getting his start working with Troma and writing/directing horror-comedy Slither. Gunn also wrote this year’s The Belko Experiment, and he’s next returning to the horror genre once more.
Deadline reports today that Gunn will produce an untitled horror film for The H Collective, based on a script by his brother Brian Gunn and cousin Mark Gunn.
David Yarovesky, who directed 2015’s under-seen infection horror gem The Hive (pictured above), is attached to direct the project.
Filming is set to begin this coming Spring on the film, which doesn’t yet have a plot.
H Collective is producing alongside Gunn’s Troll Court Entertainment. Exec producers are Brian and Mark Gunn, Dan Clifton and H Collective’s Nic Crawley.
Fresh off her starring role in the first season of Prime Video’s hit series “Fallout,” Ella Purnell (“Yellowjackets”) has booked a role in the upcoming horror-comedy The Scurry.
Screen Daily reports this morning that Ella Purnell has joined the cast of the now-filming horror comedy from director Craig Roberts, taking on “an avalanche of deranged squirrels.”
The site notes, “Ella Purnell will play the leading role of a park attendant who must use her unique skills and strength to survive a band of killer squirrels.”
“The film follows two pest controllers called to a country park café to investigate a routine vermin problem, only for an avalanche of deranged squirrels to descend at nightfall, wreaking mayhem on the staff and visitors in the park.”
Rhys Ifans (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Paapa Essiedu (Men), and Antonia Thomas (“The Good Doctor”) have all been previously announced to star in the upcoming movie.
Tim Telling wrote the screenplay for The Scurry.
