‘Deeper’: Submarine Drops Bradley Cooper Into Supernatural Thriller!
Max Landis, the son of the great Jon Landis, is booming. He’s currently behind the Syfy anthology series “Channel Zero,” while also having penned Chronicle and Victor Frankenstein (which I thought was actually very good). He also just sold his spec Bright, which will star both Will Smith and Joel Edgerton.
His next major project heads Deeper with The Hangover star Bradley Cooper, pictured, who toplines as a former astronaut hired to take a submersible to the lowest point in the ocean. As the submersible gets closer to its destination, supernatural events start to get involved.
Since James Cameron’s The Abyss and Sean S. Cunningham’s DeepStar Six, I’ve been desperately wanting to see a new deep-sea genre movie.
White God helmer Kornel Mundruczo is also attached to the project, Variety reports.
Sources say several suitors are looking into the spec, including Paramount, Lionsgate, STX, Black Box and Searchlight, with a deal expected shortly.
Landis will also produce with David Goyer and Addictive Pictures.
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.
