Die Antwoord Made a Short Horror Film Starring Jack Black
¥o-landi Vi$$er of the rap group Die Antwoord is showing that she’s not only a badass rapper and excellent actress (see Chappie) but that’s a dope filmmaker as well.
The black-and-white short “Tommy Can’t Sleep” stars Ninja’s daughter, 16 Jones, alongside Jack Black, with music by The Black Goat.
16 Jones plays little Tommy, while Black is Big Tommy in the short that will give all of us nightmares.
“Rats in Tommy’s room are keeping him awake, but his parents — particularly his mom — don’t believe him. When the foul-mouthed young psychopath begrudgingly returns to bed, his active imagination takes over.” (H/T CoS)
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
