Alexandra Daddario-Starring ‘Die in a Gunfight’ Picked Up by Lionsgate for Release This Summer
Competing with Gunpowder Milkshake for the honor of “Best Movie Title of 2021,” Die in a Gunfight stars Alexandra Daddario and Diego Boneta, and it’s been picked up by Lionsgate.
Deadline reports that Lionsgate will give Die in a Gunfight a “multi-platform” release this summer. In director Collin Schiffli‘s film, written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari…
“An unpredictable collection of schemers and killers collide when Ben (Boneta) reconnects with his old flame Mary (Daddario) to fight for their love against cruel fate itself.”
Billy Crudup, Travis Fimmel, Justin Chatwin, Wade Allain-Marcus, and Emmanuelle Chriqui also star.
“Die in a Gunfight is a fresh and contemporary film packed with action, romance and twists at every turn,” says Lauren Bixby, VP of acquisitions and co-productions at Lionsgate.
“Audiences need fun, adrenaline fueled entertainment more so than ever,” adds Schiffli.
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.
