Editor Turns Director for ‘The Haunting in Georgia’
Now that Ti West is off prepping The Innkeepers, Gold Circle Films has locked in Tom Elkins, an editor who has worked on such films as Wanted and The Da Vinci Code, to make his directorial debut with The Haunting in Georgia, their follow-up to the incredibly sh*tty The Haunting in Connecticut. Elkins was also the editor on Connecticut, and his boarding sets the movie on track for an August start, with casting under way. Written by David Coggeshall, Georgia centers on the true story of a young family imperiled by mysterious entities inhabiting their property in the rural South. How about making it SCARY this time? Please?
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
