’28 Weeks Later’ Director Enters ‘Into the Zombie Underworld’?!
An update to our hot tip out of Cannes that Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is set to direct a new zombie with for 20th Century Fox.
While we couldn’t get any plot details out of our scoopster, We have learned that Fresnadillo, who helmed 28 Weeks Later, will be getting behind the camera for Into the Zombie Underworld.
The film is “About an American who tries to separate truth from lore as he searches for a lost soul in rural Haiti.”
It’s unclear and most unlikely that this is related to the long-gestured 28 Days Later sequel, but we’ll keep you posted as things become more clear – and official.
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.”
