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?
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.”
