James Wan Teases Giant Monster Movie?
So, I’ll be the first to admit that there’s nothing concrete here whatsoever but this is still way too cool of a possibility to not at least bring it up.
Recently, director James Wan (The Conjuring, Insidious, Saw) responded to a fan’s question on Twitter, who asked, “If you like giant monsters, how come you haven’t done a giant monster movie?” Wan coyly responded, saying, “Patience, my friend. In due time. Closer than you know.”
While that doesn’t tell us anything of substance, it does tell us that this is something that is on his mind. And after the massive worldwide success of Furious 7, Wan has proven that he create films that draw huge audiences. And that’s not even taking into account the financial success of Saw and Insidious, when you compare investment versus return.
I would love to see Wan tackle a giant monster movie! Firstly, we don’t get enough of them. Secondly, his little touches could really transform it into something smart, exhilarating, and exciting.
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.”
