‘Last Exorcism’ Director To ‘Reincarnate’ Shyamalan Twist
M. Night Shyamalan’s producing career continues as Media Rights Capital and the director/producer have set the next thriller to be made under their Night Chronicles banner. It’s now official that The Last Exorcism‘s Daniel Stamm will direct Reincarnate (formerly Twelve Strangers), a thriller scripted by Chris Sparling, who wrote the upcoming Rodrigo Cortes-directed Ryan Reynolds-starrer Buried, and Paul Grellong. Production will begin in 2011, and MRC is producing with Shyamalan. While deciding the fate of an accused murderer, a jury is haunted by supernatural forces that hold the key to the case. The deal comes on the eve of this weekend’s release of Devil, the first pic from Night Chronicles, formed to generate genre films hatched by Shyamalan.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
