Creature Designer Teams with ‘Final Destination’ Writer for ‘Paralyzed’
Directed by creature designer Aaron Sims continues his foray into the world of directing as he’s recently completed a new short film entitled Paralyzed, which is being shopped around town for a feature length version.
The supernatural horror script was penned by none other than Jeffrey Reddick, the man behind the first Final Destination, and is about sleep paralysis.
“Sleep paralysis is a bizarre phenomenon where victims wake up and find they can’t move. In most cases, people sense an evil presence in the room with them. Many also report seeing a terrifying figure sitting on their chest…choking them.
Sleep paralysis is a worldwide phenomenon that has been documented since ancient times and studies say that most people will experience it at least once in their lives.”
You’ll find the short embedded below.
Sims worked on The Apparition, The Thing, Amazing Spider-Man, Clash of the Titans, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, I Am Legend, 30 Days of Night, The Mist and a zillion other films.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
