‘The Rite’/’1408’ Director Feels No Fear for Hammer’s ‘Wake’
I might have hated The Rite, but I did dig 1408 and do think that Mikael Hafstrom is quite the talented director.
Heat Vision reports that Hafstrom is attached to direct the thriller Wake for Exclusive Media Group’s Hammer Films banner. Christopher Borelli and Matt Sand wrote the screenplay, “about a sociopath who is incapable of feeling fear.”
Hammer – the legendary company that’s propelled itself back into the genre limelight with both Let Me In and Wake Wood – will produce and finance the project.
Hammer also recently produced The Resident and will next have The Woman In Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, in theaters January 20, 2012.
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.”
