Finally Some Photos From A24’s Pizza-themed Slasher ‘Slice’
After announcing a “one night only” event next Monday, September 10th, A24 shared with us a handful of images from Austin Vesley‘s pizza-themed horror film Slice (get tickets here). I want to go just to see if I can get my hands on that wicked “Perfect Pizza” jacket…
Slice is a new horror slasher that stars Chance the Rapper, with Zazie Beetz, Paul Scheer, and Will Brill (Eyes Of My Mother, “The OA”). It follows a pizza delivery driver who is murdered on the job, leaving the city searching for someone to blame: ghosts? drug dealers? a disgraced werewolf?
“In a spooky small town, when a slew of pizza delivery boys are slain on the job, two daring survivors (Beetz and Chance the Rapper) set out to catch the culprits behind the cryptic crime spree.“
“It’s a city where ghosts and humans come together; there’s a ghost town and a regular town,” producer Brett Hays said last year during filming. “It just kind pokes fun and has fun with those genres.”
The trailer reveals that Perfect Pizza is built on top of the gateway to hell and that pizza delivery men and women are being hunted. Ironically (or maybe not), the movie appears to be loaded up with double the cheese, but also looks delicious.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
