Teased late last month, Timo Tjahjanto is teaming with Sinister and Doctor Strange filmmakers Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill on his next movie, and this week brings a bit of an update. For starters, the mysterious project now has a title: The Handover.

Additionally, we’ve learned, it’s “a Christmas story”!

“Filmmaking is an act of magical (& violent) wonder,” Tjahjanto notes on Instagram today, sharing the cover page for the script he’s currently writing alongside Derrickson and Cargill.

Tjahjanto recently tweeted that the movie is “Ultra violent, ultra absurd, ultra over the top & ultra heartwarming.” For now, plot details are completely under wraps. Stay tuned.

Timo Tjahjanto should already be a household name in the horror world, having co-directed the insanely gory Macabre and the super popular V/H/S/2 segment “Safe Haven”. He’s also behind Netflix’s action-packed The Night Comes for Us, as well as May the Devil Take You, Headshot, and Killers. And just wait until you see his segment in our upcoming V/H/S/94…

Timo is also attached to direct a remake of Train to Busan.

Kristen Stewart Doesn’t Want to Make Any Marvel Movies But Does Want to Make a Scary Horror Movie

If you haven’t yet seen A24 and Saint Maud director Rose Glass’ new movie Love Lies Bleeding, you should definitely get out there and support it in theaters while you can. The critically acclaimed romantic thriller is one of this year’s best movies so far, driven by incredible lead performances from Katy O’Brian and the always compelling Kristen Stewart.

Katy O’Brian just landed a huge role in Mission Impossible 8, but what’s next for Kristen Stewart? Well, for starters, don’t expect to see her in any Marvel movies anytime soon.

Stewart tells the “Not Skinny but Not Fat” podcast, “I will likely never do a Marvel movie … it sounds like a fucking nightmare, actually.” She further explains, “You would have to put so much money and so much trust into one person … and it doesn’t happen.”

And so therefore what ends up happening is this algorithmic, weird experience where you can’t feel personal at all about it. So likely not,” Kristen Stewart continues in her chat with the podcast. “But maybe the world changes, that’s what I’m saying.” She notes, however, “if Greta Gerwig asked me to do a Marvel movie, then I would do it.”

So what DOES Kristen Stewart want to do next? Chatting with Variety on the red carpet just a couple months back, she indicated that she’s far more interested in horror than Marvel!

I’d like to make a good scary movie,” Stewart answered when asked what she’d like to do next. “Like something a little more psychological. Yeah, a really good horror movie.”

Kristen Stewart is of course no stranger to the horror/thriller genres, getting her start as a child actor in David Fincher’s Panic Room. From there, she starred in 2007 horror movie The Messengers, as well as the Twilight movies, ghost story Personal Shopper, and 2018’s Lizzie. And don’t forget 2020’s Underwater or David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future.

The ball is in your court, filmmakers. Let’s make it happen.
