Fleshy New ‘Spiral’ Images Promise, Oh Yes, There Will Be Blood! [Gallery]
The games continue in just two weeks when Lionsgate gets back in theaters with Spiral: From the Book of Saw, a brand new take on the Saw franchise that brings Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II-IV) back behind the camera from a concept by comedian Chris Rock.
Rock is featured in these brand new images as Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks, who is investigating a crime scene trap that ended badly. While we’ve already seen the below photo that teases a death by train, the above shot is a gruesome close-up of the aftermath. There’s also a really cool new look at the alternate pig mask, which calls back to the very first Saw from director James Wan and writer/star Leigh Whannell.
“Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.”
Watch an exclusive clip from Spiral, featuring Samuel L. Jackson and a creepy puppet, right here.
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.”
