Thriller ‘Tripwire’ Booby-traps a Farmyard [EFM]
Danish actress Sofie Gråbøl, most recognized for playing Sarah Lund in crime series “The Killing”, has boarded the cast of Adrian Mead’s UK thriller Tripwire, reports ScreenDaily.
The film sounds Saw-esque:
“Set in Bosnia in 1994, Tripwire follows a small, closely knit squad of British soldiers out on a routine patrol. Lured into a booby-trapped farmyard and pinned down by a sniper, the group are cut to pieces every time they move. As the casualties pile up, it becomes clear they’ve been betrayed by one of their own.”
Gråbøl will star alongside Martin Compston and Stephen Graham in the film, which Moviehouse Entertainment is presenting to buyers at the European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin this week.
Mark Vennis of Moviehouse is also producing the title with Clare Kerr of MeadKerr Films.
The project is set to shoot in Autumn 2019 in Scotland.
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.
