‘Tucker & Dale’ Director Eli Craig is Back With New Horror-Comedy ‘Bride and Doom’!
While we wait to hear more about the potential future of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Deadline announces that Eli Craig has signed on to direct a new horror-comedy, Bride and Doom!
Craig, who also wrote and directed Little Evil for Netflix, has been tapped to direct the wedding-themed horror-comedy by Argent Pictures and Mandalay Pictures.
Described as Cloverfield meets My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the pic follows a young couple struggling to hold onto their marriage during the worst possible wedding day imaginable.
“I’m an unabashed fan of wedding movies, but I think we’re past the point of seeing everything work out in the end. Everything doesn’t always work out, and weddings are sometimes the worst day of people’s lives. So let’s make an honest wedding movie for a change — let’s make it a horror movie!” Eli Craig said in a statement.
Josh Parkinson will be co-writing the script with Craig.
Argent’s Jill Ahrens, Ryan Ahrens, and Ben Renzo are producing with Mandalay’s Jason Michael Berman. Exec Producers are Drew Brees, Tony Parker, Michael Finley, and Derrick Brooks.
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.
