It was revealed last week that Carrie director Brian De Palma is penning a topical new horror film inspired by the real-life monster known as Harvey Weinstein, with De Palma himself noting, “I’m writing a film about this scandal, a project I’m talking about with a French producer. 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.”
As it turns out, an update this week lets us know that De Palma’s “Harvey Weinstein horror film” is at this moment in time titled Predator. We’ve also learned, via Deadline, that the Toronto Film Festival will be used as the backdrop for the film.
Of course, there’s plenty of time for the title to change, and we can only assume it eventually will. After all, there’s already a hugely well known horror film titled Predator, and another one on the way this year titled The Predator. Production is not expected to begin on De Palma’s Predator for another year or so.
Saïd Ben Saïd (Elle) is on board to produce.
