Update: Margot Kidder Joins ‘H2’, New Title?
Update: Zombie edited his blog removing the new title, so we’ll keep you posted as the new title is officially revealed. Well known nutter and one of my favorite actresses from the 70’s, Margot Kidder (The Amityville Horror, Sisters, Superman, Black Christmas), has joined the cast of Rob Zombie’s Halloween sequel, which apparently has been given a new name. “Margot Kidder has joined Halloween – The Devil Walks Among Us as Laurie Strode’s therapist Barbara Collier,” writes Zombie on his official blog. I wasn’t a big fan of the moniker H2 and think Halloween: The Devil Walks Among Us is a pretty solid new title. Shooting is now underway in Georgia as Dimension has the film slated for release on August 28.
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.”
