‘Separation’: New Horror Film from ‘The Boy’ Director William Brent Bell Moves into New Release Date
Director William Brent Bell is leaving Brahms behind for new horror movie Separation, which had been set for release on April 23 by Open Road Films and Briarcliff Entertainment.
We’ve learned today, however, that Separation will now release in theaters on April 30.
Deadline broke the news of the slight release date shift this afternoon.
“The film tells of the terrifying consequences of divorce and is the story of a young girl who finds solace in her artist father and her dead mother.”
Rupert Friend, Violet McGraw, Mamie Gummer, Madeline Brewer and Brian Cox star.
Nick Amadeus and Josh Braun wrote Separation.
In addition to The Boy and Brahms: The Boy II, William Brent Bell also directed The Devil Inside. One of his next projects is Orphan: First Kill, a prequel to the 2009 movie Orphan.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
