Here’s ‘Stephanie’ Walking Hand In Hand With Frank Grillo In Blumhouse’s Latest
While there’s yet to be an official press release sent out, Amazon lists Akiva Goldsman’s Stephanie for release on DVD May 1, 2018, through Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. A VOD release is presumably happening somewhere around that date.
Kalyn caught the world premiere at the Overlook Film Festival and wrote that “Stephanie is a mixed bag of innovative ideas and an overabundance of exposition.”
Stephanie is, a supernatural horror-thriller written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, the duo behind our SiREN as well as The Orchard’s excellent Super Dark Times.
“The story centers on a young girl named Stephanie (Shree Crooks) who is abandoned by her parents, forced to survive on peanut butter and conversations with her toy turtle. When her parents return to claim their daughter, they find dark supernatural forces are wreaking havoc, with Stephanie at the center of the turmoil.”
It stars Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy), Anna Torv (“Fringe”), and Shree Crooks(“American Horror Story”). Thanks to Fabien M. for the image.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
