A Report from the Location of ’11-11-11′
Writer-director Darren Lynn Bousman is currently in Spain prepping 11-11-11, his religious horror flick that’s set to begin lensing early next month. While deep into pre-production, Bousman was forced to revisit some demons that inspired the screenplay. He writes a bit about it in his blog: “I finished the first draft of 11 11 11 without losing my mind – though at times I stepped into some very dark places… But my curiosity ended on the Web. Once I closed my computer and shut off the Internet I was transported back into the SANE NORMAL world in which I lived… My wife… My dog… Seinfeld.” He continues, “Cut to today. Never in a million years would I have imagined that coming to Spain would bring me one step closer to the horrors I had read about online.” While he doesn’t go into details, he promises a series of blogs, with the first focusing on “the house”. You can read the blog in its entirety here.
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.

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.
