‘Behind the Mask’ Gets Poster for 10th Anniversary Theatrical and VOD Release
We met a new horror icon ten years ago with Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, director Scott Glosserman’s deconstruction of slasher cinema that’s right up there with Scream in terms of overall brilliance. It’s not as widespread popular as Scream, however, which would explain why Leslie has never come back.
Unable to get funding for a sequel, Glosserman has instead brought Leslie back for the comic series Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon, now shipping to those who recently backed it on Go Fund Me.
Additionally, the original film is getting a 10th anniversary re-release!
Revealed on the back cover of the comic book, Behind the Mask‘s 10th Anniversary Edition will include a brand new audio commentary from Glosserman, and it’s soon headed to most online streaming services. If you’d rather see Leslie up on the big screen, you can captain your own screening through theatrical-on-demand service, Gathr.
Check out the 10th anniversary poster below!
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.”
