‘Fever Heart’ Sounds Rather Strange Yet Oddly Intriguing
Alexander Skarsgard (Melancholia, “True Blood”) and Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad) have joined the cast of the road trip gothic thriller Fever Heart, according to THR. The film will begin shooting in 2017.
The road movie follows an amnesiac (Skarsgard) who teams up with a quick-witted circus sharp shooter (Delevingne) to uncover his lost memories. With a charming and malevolent tracker named Blood Lieberman in violent pursuit, the pair needs to learn to trust each other if they are going to survive this strange land stained with mysticism.
For some reason, that synopsis is really appealing to me. It sounds original and quirky, which piques my interest.
Fever Heart is directed by Ben Briand and co-written by Briand and Kevin W. Koehler. It is is being produced by Picture Films’ Margot Hand and Matt Dooley with Michele Bennett and Nadine de Barros acting as executive producers.
De Barros states, “I’m a huge fan of Ben’s work. I’m overjoyed at the opportunity to work with him. Ben and Kevin’s script had me on the edge of my seat, and Alexander and Cara are the perfect match for this material.”
Fortitude International is handling international rights and will introduce the project to buyers at AFM, per the site.
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.
