Teaser Poster for Wes Craven’s ‘My Soul to Take’
BD reader ‘Joey M.’ sent us in your first look at the teaser poster for Universal Pictures’ My Soul to Take, their post-converted 3-D horror tale from horror legend Wes Craven. Starring Max Theirot, Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps, and Emily Meade, Uni is pushing this up against Saw 3D on October 29, while also taking on Paranormal Activity 2 in its second week of release. Hasn’t anybody learned from the idiotic battle between H2 and The Final Destination? Whichever wins, we all lose. Every asshole will report horror as a box office flop — again. In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? 
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.”
