[Random Cool] Must-See ‘Halloween’ Fan Film Has Insane Production Value!
Fan films are all the rage, especially now that it grabs the attention of the suits behind major productions.
Bloody reader ‘theshapeh1’ tipped us off to a new fan-made short inspired by John Carpenter’s Halloween.
Directed by 19-year-old aspiring filmmakers Anne-Sophie Picard and Félix Corré, the foreign short is entitled “Halloween : The Night She Doubted”.
“October 31st, Halloween. Mary, a Haddonfield Police department student, receives a visit from her friend Nick. Over a discussion, the topic deviates, and Mary admits to her friend that she’s working on the Michael Myers case… the famous serial-killer.”
These young filmmakers truly captured the look of Carpenter’s classic slasher, as teased above, as well as the tone. My only gripe, having skimmed through it, is the digital blood and lack of violence. Still, it’s insanely impressive, and well worth the time of all major Halloween fans!
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.”
