AFM ’11: Director Sharpens Teeth for ‘Last House in the Woods’ Sequel
Bloody Disgusting learned today that Gabriele Albanesi will direct Kid in the Box, the sequel of the gruesome and pretty entertaining The Last House in the Woods released in 2008 in USA by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Underground.
In the project are involved big names of Italian Horror as Sergio Stivaletti to the special effects and Claudio Simonetti to the original music.
“In my intentions KID IN THE BOX will be a great, powerful, romantic, epic horror film and to realize it I collected the best people that have made the history of this kind of cinema” said Albanesi.
In Last House in the Woods, a young couple are saved by a seemingly nice older couple after a fight with some punks. While there, the wounded woman begins to realize that some frightening things are occurring the house…
The previous film of Albanesi, Ubaldo Terzani Horror Show, will be released in USA in January 2012 on DVD and Blu-ray disc by Rarovideo USA. 
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
