‘The Stairs’ Heads Deep into the Woods for Horror
Adam Korson, pictured right, who recently appeared in an episode of Jordan Peele’s revival of “The Twilight Zone” on CBS All Access, is the lead of the indie creature feature The Stairs from director Peter “Drago” Tiemann, reports Deadline.
“The film starts in 1997 when 11-year-old Jesse and Grandpa Gene go on a hunting trip deep in the woods. While tracking a deer, Jesse and Gene are separated. As the shadows of the forest grow deeper, Gene finds the deer and Jesse finds something only a little boy’s nightmares are made of.
“Fast forward 20 years later and a group of hikers, led by brothers Nick (Korson) and Josh, set off into the very same woods. Unfortunately for them, nothing goes as planned and they all come face-to-face with the very same creature Jesse discovered all those years ago. This is a story of fear and death and heroism in the unlikeliest of circumstances.”
Trin Miller, Stacey Oristano, and Brent Bailey round out the cast.
Co-written by Tiemann & Jason Lowe, the movie is currently shooting in Seattle.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
