Bloody Alumni Howl For ‘The Wildness’!
We have some awesome news for long-time Bloody Disgusting readers that may have some of you howling in excitement.
Marcel Sarmiento will direct the horror-comedy The Wildness from a script by Evan Dickson (The Bringing).
Dickson was a long-time writer for Bloody before moving onto Hitfix, with Chris Eggertsen, and now becoming a full-time screenwriter. Sarmiento directed the awesome Deadgirl before taking the reigns on the wild and crazy wrap portion of VHS: Viral, the third film in our franchise.
Anyways, TheWrap is reporting that Bron Studios’ genre label The Realm is set to produce The Wildness, described to us in the vein of Lost Boys.
“The story follows a ski bum who’s pushing 40 and still has a penchant for drugs, babes and transcendental meditation. He’s forced to become an unlikely hero in order to save a mountainside community too drunk on wild parties and over-development to notice that their kids are being systematically turned into werewolves.”
Bron’s Matthias Mellinghaus will produce The Wildness with Barbara Crampton (You’re Next, The Beyond, Re-Animator). Crampton also produced Jackson Stewart’s Beyond the Gates, premiering at the LA Film Festival.
Bron’s Aaron L. Gilbert and Garrick Dion will serve as executive producers along with Jason Cloth of Creative Wealth Media Finance.
Production is expected to start in January in Vancouver, and casting is already under way.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
