Witness the Birth of ‘Don’t Look Up’ in Gory New Photos
What a week for disgusting, blood-soaked babies. While we brought you the trailer the other day, now beyond the break you’ll find two exclusive stills from Fruit Chan’s Don’t Look Up remake that features, you guessed it, a bloody baby! In Chan’s adaptation of Hideo Nakata’s Joyurei, a young horror film director’s sensitivity to paranormal visions sends him on a spiraling descent into madness that threatens his life and that of his crew. On location in the decrepit, abandoned former Transylvania Film Studios, the characters of the medieval Romanian folk tale he is attempting to adapt to film appear to come to life — opening a portal in which horrifying deeds from the past begin to recur. Or is it all in the young director’s mind?
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.”
