Lionsgate Resurrects ‘Lazarus’ In 2015
After many major successes in January – such as The Devil Inside and the Underworld films – the month has become a home for horror. This year, we get Paranormal Activity The Marked Ones, as well as Devil’s Due and I, Frankenstein. Either succeeding could open the floodgate and unleash horror hell into the New Year. This is awesome.
Lionsgate is already looking towards 2015 as they’ve slated their newly titled Lazarus (formerly Reawakening) for January 30, 2015.
Directed by David Gelb, “The story follows a team of research students that discovers the secret to bringing subjects back from the dead — however, their actions result in a series of sinister consequences.”
Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass, Donald Glover, Evan Peters, Sarah Bolger all star in this “Frankenstein”-esque tale.
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.”
