‘White Coffin’ A Throwback To Hammer
Argentine director-producer Daniel de la Vega, helmer of Faye Dunaway thriller Jennifer’s Shadow, is re-launching supernatural horror movie White Coffin, reports Variety.
Coffin writers are Latin American film genre pioneers, brother Ramiro and Adrian Garcia Bogliano, the latter a multiple-prize winner at Austin’s Fantastic Fest with Here Comes the Devil, pictured.
“White Coffin hypothesizes around the possibility of a mother committing matricide, something that could be scarier than her own death,” De la Vega said at Ventana Sur. White Coffin is “a genre auteur film” which tips its hat to horror film classics from Hammer Productions, Roger Corman movies and House of Wax.
Set up at De la Vega’s Buenos Aires-based shingle FuriaFilms, “Coffin” is scheduled for an early 2015 shoot.
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.”
