David Arquette Toplines New Thriller ‘The Cottage’

Published

on

Not to be confused with the 2008 UK film of the same name, David Arquette, Kristen Dalton and Lorraine Nicholson are all set to star in The Cottage, Joker Films’ new thriller from director Chris Jaymes.

Penned by Nick Antosca, The films begins after renting her guest house to a stranger (Arquette), Bree (Dalton) soon discovers he is not the perfect tenant she thought he would be.

Check out an extremely long synopsis and AFM sales art inside. Bree and Michael Carpenter live happily with their two daughters in a suburban house, with a guest cottage in their backyard. When they receive news that their prospective tenant was in a car accident, they are faced with the decision to leave the cottage vacant and lose out on the much needed income, or find a new renter at the last minute. As luck would have it, a charming young romance novelist, Robert Mars, arrives looking for a place to stay. Much to their surprise, soon after he moves in, unnerving things begin to occur. Robert covers the windows with black cloth and changes the locks. He keeps late hours, has various people coming and going, and is seen late at night with some strange men burying something in the yard. When the Carpenter’s cat goes missing and it appears that someone has entered their house, Bree and Michael fear for their daughters’ safety. Their fears are solidified when they see a sketch of a man suspected of a brutal rape in the next county that is the spitting image of their new tenant. However with no concrete evidence to support any claims, and legal hurdles working against them as landlords, the Carpenters soon find themselves battling an unknowable threat in their own backyard.

Sleepy Hollow movie

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
