Brian De Palma has certainly made his mark on the horror genre over the years, bringing Stephen King’s Carrie to the big screen in 1976 and also writing/directing Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise, Obsession, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Body Double and Raising Cain. What’s next from De Palma? He’s writing a new horror film.
Indiewire reports that Brian De Palma is returning to horror with a new script inspired by, of all people, Harvey Weinstein. The site notes, “Weinstein will not be a named character in the film, but he will inspire the movie’s narrative.”
“I’m writing a film about this scandal, a project I’m talking about with a French producer,” De Palma revealed this week. “My character won’t be named Harvey Weinstein but it will be a horror film, with a sexual aggressor, and it will take place in the film industry.”
Thoughts? Too soon? Too real?
