‘Feast’ Trio Reteaming for ‘Piranha 3DD’!
Some very exciting news this afternoon as Dimension Films has set John Gulager to direct and Saw IV-VII scribes Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to write Piranha 3 DD (get it, “Double D”?), the sequel to last summer’s toothy fish fest that’s aiming for release in August of 2011 (will Dimension take on Final Destination once again?) Deadline reports that for the sequel, Dimension’s Bob Weinstein has reassembled the team behind Feast (now on Blu-ray), the Dimension horror film that served as a season of the TV show “Project Greenlight.” The director and writers got their starts on that low-budget horror film. Gulager went on to direct two Feast sequels while the scribes moved on to write four installments of the Saw franchise. They recently set an updated version of the classic anthology series The Outer Limits at MGM. Oh yeah, and before I forget: REAL-F*CKING-3D!
While we wait for the serial killer thriller Longlegs, director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel) has already set up his NEXT movie. It’s titled Keeper.
Deadline reports tonight that Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) and Rossif Sutherland (Possessor) will star in Keeper, and NEON has acquired the rights to the project.
Deadline notes, “Neon will distribute in the U.S. and handle international sales rights to the film in Cannes, with Elevation Pictures set to distribute in Canada.”
“Keeper follows a couple as they escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly returns to the city, Liz (Maslany) finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.”
Perkins will direct from a screenplay written by Nick Lepard.
First up, NEON will release Longlegs in theaters on July 12.
