‘Popsicle’ Sounds Like ‘Labyrinth’ Only More Twisted

Published

on

Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision has announced that they will be producing Lucas Amann’s Popsicle, according to Deadline. Wood, Daniel Noah, and Josh Waller are all producing on behalf of SpectreVision while Red Sea Media’s Lee Stobby and Kyle Hansen are also taking on the same role.

Per the site:

Amann wrote the script about 12-year-old Wyatt and his younger sister Rory, as they wake to find themselves trapped in a fantastical underground palace designed by a madman with a penchant for all things childlike. They take refuge with a tribe of lost and forgotten children who are also stuck in the maze, but when Rory is snatched away by their new “Daddy,” Wyatt and the others must band together and rescue her from the deepest recesses of his labyrinth.

Wood himself comments, “Ever since we were introduced to the psychedelic technicolor world of Lucas’ Popsicle, we have been dedicated to bringing his pure and disturbing vision to life. ‘Daddy’ is a twisted new iconic horror villain to ooze into our collective nightmares.

Red Sea Media CEO Roman Kopelevich explains that the film is, “…reminiscent of cult classics such as ‘The Goonies’ and ‘People Under The Stairs’. If Willy Wonka went mad and started trapping children inside of his Chocolate Factory, we’d be close to the world that Lucas has created.

I’m 100% into the sound of this movie and can’t wait to see what it will look like!
