The Gang Checks In At ‘Hotel Transylvania 2’
THR reported a year back that Hotel Transylvania (review), Sony Pictures Animation’s surprise monster hit, is getting a sequel.
Sony has just penciled a September 25, 2015 release date for what is presently being titled Hotel Transylvania 2. Collider has a very tiny piece of promo art that confirms progress has been made on the sequel, although the project still has no director or confirmed cast.
Genndy Tartakovsky, who directed Transylvania, is moving on to direct SPA’s Popeye movie project, which is slated for September 26, 2014.
Hotel Transylvania is Dracula’s lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them.
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.”
