New Title and Art for London Slasher ‘Demons Never Die’
It was announced back in March that Golden Globe Nominee Idris Elba (“The Wire,” 28 Weeks Later, RocknRolla) was producing Suicide Kids, which is set against a gritty London backdrop, a terrifying urban horror written and directed by one of the UK’s most exciting new filmmakers, Arjun Rose (Diversity 3-D, Swift). The new title of the film is Demons Never Die, and a new sales one sheet has been released.
“When Amba (N*Dubs star Tulisa Contostavlos) takes her own life, Archie Eden (Robert Sheehan – Misfits, Cherrybomb) and seven other depressed London teenagers decide to follow her lead and create a suicide pact. As the group begins to die one by one, Archie realises they have all become the target of a masked killer and that his own commitment to death has become a terrifying fight for survival and a battle to protect the girl he loves, but who is the killer?”
The genre busting cast includes British Independent Film Award winnner Ashley Walters (Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Stormbreaker, Bullet Boy), Andrew Ellis (This is England), Arnold Oceng (Adulthood, 4,3,2,1), Jacob Anderson (Chatroom, 4,3,2,1), Reggie Yates (Doctor Who), Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks), Femi Oyineran (Kidulthood, Adulthood, Annuvahood), Jack Doolon (Cemetery Junction), Peter Baladi (Streetdance 3-D, The International, The Office) Jason Maza (Fish Tank, Shifty), Jennie Jacques (Cherry Tree Lane, Shank), and Shanika Warren-Markland (Adulthood, 4,3,2,1).
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.”
