‘Goodnight Mommy’ Duo Enter ‘The Fortress’ of Horror
Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz, the German filmmaking team behind Goodnight Mommy, have set up their first studio project, writes THR.
Universal is in final negotiations to pick The Fortress, a horror pitch the team will write and direct about a group of refugees hidden aboard a container ship who discover their passage to safety is not what it seems.
Michael De Luca (In the Mouth of Madness), who has a first-look deal with the studio, is attached to produce.
De Luca Productions’ Lucy Kitada will executive produce.
Fiala, a filmmaker, and Franz, a former film journalist and casting director, first teamed up when they co-directed and co-wrote the feature documentary “Kern,” add the site. They made their fiction debut with 2014’s Mommy, which generated much acclaim and was Austria’s entry for best foreign language film.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
