Kevin Bacon Haunted and Tormented in This ‘You Should Have Left’ Featurette [Exclusive]
“I love scary movies,” exclaims star Kevin Bacon in this exclusive featurette for You Should Have Left, arriving on all VOD platforms June 18th, which he says is “its own kind of scary.”
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at a featurette for the new Blumhouse thriller from Universal Pictures in which the Friday the 13th, Tremors and Stir of Echoes star and Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body) play a couple seeking a restful vacation on an isolated edge of the world only to discover that secrets demand a reckoning … and travel with you.
The below featurette features shows new footage and shares interviews with the two stars who talk about Bacon being forced to face his demons at the hands of a haunted house… one that refuses to let them leave.
“Theo Conroy (Bacon) is a successful middle-aged man whose marriage to his much younger actress wife, Susanna (Seyfried) is shredding at the seams, frayed by her secretiveness, his jealousy, and the shadow of his past. In an effort to repair their relationship, Theo and Susanna book a vacation at a stunning, remote modern home in the Welsh countryside for themselves and their six-year-old daughter, Ella (Avery Essex). What at first seems like a perfect retreat distorts into a perfect nightmare when Theo’s grasp on reality begins to unravel and he suspects that a sinister force within the house knows more than he or Susanna have revealed, even to each other.”
David Koepp (Stir of Echoes, Secret Window), whose impressive resume of writing credits includes Death Becomes Her, Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Panic Room and Spider-Man, wrote and directed the film.
It’s official: Mike Flanagan is set to write, direct, and produce the next Exorcist film for Blumhouse and Universal. But don’t expect a sequel to 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer; Flanagan will offer a radical new take on The Exorcist.
To reiterate, the new film will tell an all-new story set in The Exorcist universe and is not a sequel to David Gordon Green‘s The Exorcist: Believer. Plans for that trilogy are no longer moving forward.
Flanagan said in a statement, “The Exorcist is one of the reasons I became a filmmaker, and it is an honor to have the chance to try something fresh, bold, and terrifying within its universe. Reuniting with my friends at Blumhouse, with whom I’ve made some of my favorite pieces of work, only makes this more exciting.”
“Mike’s voice and vision are indispensable for horror fans and we are excited to welcome him back to Blumhouse. I immediately responded to Mike’s new take on the world of The Exorcist and can’t wait for audiences to experience it,” said Jason Blum, Founder and CEO, Blumhouse.
“It’s an honor to be working with Mike. I think his vision for this franchise is going to stun audiences worldwide, and I could not be more excited to be working with him, Trevor, Jason and the entire Blumhouse Team,” said David Robinson, Chairman and CEO of Morgan Creek.
The film will be produced by Trevor Macy on behalf of Intrepid Pictures and Flanagan via his new Red Room Pictures banner. John Scherer will also be working on the film on behalf of Intrepid. This film marks the fourth collaboration for Flanagan and Blumhouse; he wrote and directed Oculus (2013), Hush (2016) and Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016), all also produced by Macy, the latter which was recently featured in Blumhouse’s Halfway to Halloween AMC Film Series.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new direction for The Exorcist as they arrive.
