Platinum Studios Opens Vamp Prison in ‘Nightfall’
Aurora Prods. and Platinum Studios are teaming on a feature version of Platinum’s graphic novel Nightfall, reports Variety. The project, which sounds like a smaller version of Daybreakers, centers on a man who finds out just how bad life can get when he discovers that the prison he just entered is controlled by vampires. The original property, penned by Scott O. Brown and illustrated by Ferran Xalabarder, was published in 2007 by Platinum. Platinum is developing Cowboys & Aliens, Unique, The Witchblade and Atlantis Rising. Stuart just wrapped The Wild Girl, and is in development on The Travel Writer, Infinity, and even Journal of the Dead.
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.”
