Drew Goddard, who penned episodes of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, as well as Cloverfield and World War Z, and wrote and directed The Cabin in the Woods, is behind 20th Century Fox’s maddening thriller Bad Times at the El Royale.
While it’s not a horror movie, it looks intense, violent, and appears to carry some sort of secret on par with Cabin in the Woods. The October 5, 2018, release date is interesting, although it finds itself going up against Venom, Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff. In addition to looking as taut as an Alfred Hitchcock thriller, the direction is astounding. This is hands down one of the best trailers of the year. The cast is just an added bonus: Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman, Nick Offerman and Chris Hemsworth.
In the film,
“Seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meet at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption… before everything goes to hell. “
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.”
