Lucky McKee’s Next Movie is Titled ‘Old Man’ and Stephen Lang Will Star
He played “Blind Man” in Don’t Breathe (and its upcoming sequel) and now Stephen Lang is set to play “Old Man” in Lucky McKee‘s Old Man, a thriller filming early next year.
Marc Senter (The Lost, Starry Eyes) is also on board to star, reports Deadline.
“Set deep in the woods, the plot follows a lost hiker (Senter) who stumbles upon the cabin of an erratic and reclusive Old Man (Lang). What starts off as cordial conversation soon turns dangerous as it becomes clear that one or both of them might be hiding a terrifying secret.”
Joel Veach wrote the script for the film, described as a “chamber thriller.”
“Joel’s script is a horrific and poignant plunge into madness and Lang and Senter are going to devour it. It’s been beautiful to watch such a strong team form around us,” Lucky McKee, who directed May, The Woman and Kindred Spirits, said in a statement shared by Deadline.
Aaron B. Koontz (Scare Package, The Pale Door) is producing.
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.”
