The Trailer for ‘Totem’ Brings Bad Luck
Now on Cinemax and VOD platforms is Marcel Sarmiento‘s supernatural thriller Totem, which stars Kerris Dorsey, Ahna O’Reilly, James Tupper, Lia McHugh, and Braeden LeMasters.
In the film,
“A teen must resort to extreme measures to protect her family from a supernatural entity.”
The screenplay was penned by Evan Dickson, who was a long-time writer for Bloody Disgusting and now 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.
Blumhouse acquired the film produced by Divide / Conquer and Will Frank. HBO will be releasing international starting today, November 3rd.
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.”
