‘Ghost Team’ Shows the Funny Side of Paranormal Investigations
The indie horror comedy Ghost Team will begin production in New York this week with stars Jon Heder (Blades of Glory), Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Drag Me To Hell), and David Krumholtz (“Numbers”), according to Deadline.
The site writes that Ghost Team follows, “…a team of ghost hunters who get more than they bargained for when they embark on their own paranormal investigation.”
Ghost Team is directed by Oliver Irving and produced by Julie Christeas, Schulyer Weiss, and Alex Sagalchik. The script was written by Peter Warren.
This is the kind of film that could go either way. It could be extremely clever or they could fall back on gross out humor. I’m desperately hoping for the former because each of the actors has some serious talent when it comes to comedic timing.
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.”
