Jason Lei Howden’s Gory Horror-Comedy Getting a Sequel With ‘Deathgasm Part 2’!
Back in 2015, Jason Lei Howden tapped into the ultra-gory spirit of Peter Jackson’s early output with the blood-soaked Deathgasm, loaded with gory practical effects and nailing the perfect balance between horror and comedy. We’ve been begging for a sequel for the last several years, and Screen Daily reports today that a follow-up is indeed in the works!
UK’s Grimmfest is launching a production company titled Grimmfest Films, the site reports, dedicated to “developing, producing and part-financing feature films and streaming content from filmmakers who have premiered work in the festival.”
One of the first projects on their slate? Jason Lei Howden’s Deathgasm Part 2!
We have no further info at this time, but goddamn are we excited for this one.
This year’s Grimmfest runs from October 3-6.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
