Gareth Evans Teases Netflix Original ‘Apostle’!
From the director of The Raid comes a new revenge thriller.
Dan Stevens (The Guest) is starring in director Gareth Evans’ Apostle, a pairing that’s so awesome we can’t help but be incredibly interested in this one. The Welsh filmmaker, who also co-directed the segment ‘Safe Haven’ in our own V/H/S 2, looks to be returning to the world of sadistic cults in his latest film, and today teases the completiion of the film with a new image.
In Apostle…
“The year is 1905. Thomas Richardson travels to a remote island to rescue his sister after she’s kidnapped by a mysterious religious cult demanding a ransom for her safe return. It soon becomes clear that the cult will regret the day it baited this man, as he digs deeper and deeper into the secrets and lies upon which the commune is built.”
Michael Sheen, Lucy Boynton, Bill Millner, and Kristine Froseth also star.
Aram Tertzakian and Ed Talfan are producing along with Evans. Executive producers are Nate Bolotin and Nick Spicer.
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.”
