Zombedy ‘Zombiepura’ Bites Into Cannes Market
ScreenDaily shared the first photo from Singapore’s mm2 Entertainment’s zombie-themed action comedy Zombiepura, which sold to Korea’s Contents Panda and GSC Movies for Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar out of the ongoing Cannes market.
Directed by Jacen Tan, the film revolves around a zombie outbreak in an isolated army camp, where a lazy soldier and his tough commander have to fight to survive and learn what it takes to become real soldiers. Alaric (Serangoon Road) and Benjamin Heng (Eating Air) head the cast.
Scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2018, the film is produced by mm2, Clover Films and Jab Films, with the support of Singapore Film Commission.
Clover’s recent releases include Contents Panda’s hit zombie movie Train To Busan.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
