Refn Officially Directing ‘I Walk With the Dead’!
Way back in October it was reported that Polly Stenham would be penned a female driven horror film for Drive, Valhalla Rising and Bronson director Nicolas Winding Refn.
“He’s got a lot of stick for doing films some people think are violently misogynistic,” Stenham told Standard. “So he approached me with the idea of doing something different.”
Refn hit Twitter this morning revealing that this project, entitled I Walk With the Dead, will officially be his next gig.
When asked if it be blood-splattered or more of a psychological thriller, Stehham said, “It’s going to have a bit of everything.”
Drive‘s Carey Mulligan, in the below video, is rumored to star.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
