The Global Population Vanishes in Upcoming ‘Rapture’ from Lionsgate and ‘Antebellum’ Filmmakers
In addition to re-dating the horror movie Antebellum, Lionsgate has also boarded the next movie from its filmmaking duo, Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, which is titled Rapture.
The film is being written and directed by Bush and Renz.
Rapture portrays a family torn apart by warring beliefs and which must come together to unravel the mystery around the sudden vanishing of the global population — before it’s too late.
“After the amazing experience of collaborating on [Antebellum], we’re excited to build a second film with these prolific and daring auteurs. Like with everything they do, Rapture will be beautiful, evocative and will pierce through the clutter, and we’re certain it will spark many important conversations. They are the kind of voices we need right now,” Lionsgate’s Nathan Kahane said.
Producers include QC Entertainment’s (Us, BlacKkKlansman, Get Out) Sean McKittrick and Raymond Mansfield, along with Bush, Renz, Maya Rodrigo, Zev Foreman and Ted Hamm.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
