Bousman Declares ’11-11-11′ His First “Scary” Movie
Darren Lynn Bousman is off in Spain currently in pre-production on his religious horror 11-11-11, which begins lensing next month for release next November (on the 11th, of course). The director of Saw II-IV and Mother’s Day took to his official blog today to talk about the flick – the first he deems “scary”: “Finally I get to cross over into a subgenre of horror I love… Scary, and atmospheric horror… Still to this day movies like Rosemary’s Baby, The Tenant, Exorcist, The Omen terrify me. They weren’t violent or gory – they were just… Scary…” Click the link for the full blog, or the title for the film’s synopsis we broke last week. Watch for casting soon.
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.”
