‘Anatomy’ Director On the Run in ‘Hell’ (Trailer)
While we wait for Sony Screen Gems to release Stefan Ruzowitzky’s Patient Zero, which is described as a new spin on the zombie film, he’s been hard at work on yet another genre pic that was filmed in Germany.
Die Hölle, translated to The Hell or quite simply Hell, opens internationally this coming January.
Violetta Schurawlow stars as Özge, a young Vienna based taxi driver of Turkish origin who witnesses an extremely brutal murder. The offender seems to be a crazed serial killer. And he is convinced that Özge has seen him. A life-and-death struggle ensues.
In his job as a police officer, Christian Steiner (Tobias Moretti) often has contact with people from immigrant backgrounds. Some years ago his wife left him, taking their child with her. Since then Steiner has been living with his father (Friedrich von Thun) and cares for him as best he can. Steiner finds it very difficult to trust other people, especially women.
“Hell is set to be the fastest and toughest Austrian thriller made in recent years, full of magnificent stunts and breath-taking tension!” says Ruzowitzky.
Hell is an Allegro Film production, in cooperation with The Amazing Film Company, produced with the support of the Austrian Film Institute, ORF (as part of the movie/television agreement), Filmfonds Vienna, Filmstandort Vienna, ZDF German Filmförderfond and FilmFernsehFonds Bavaria.
Check out the film’s first trailer.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
