‘The Inheritance’: Netflix Must Survive the Night With ‘Juan of the Dead’ Director Alejandro Brugués!
Alejandro Brugués, director of the awesome Juan of the Dead and the best segment in the Nightmare Cinema anthology, is putting everything on the line in The Inheritance, a new horror from Netflix.
The Inheritance sounds absolutely crazy…
“On the eve of his 75th birthday, billionaire Charles Abernathy invites his four estranged children back home out of fear that tonight someone – or something – is coming to kill him.
“To ensure his family will help protect him from whatever’s coming, Abernathy puts each of their inheritances on the line – they’ll get nothing if he’s found dead by dawn.”
Originally titled The Last Will and Testament of Charles Abernathy, the film stars Rachel Nichols, who appeared in The Amityville Horror (2005), The Woods and P2, with Bob Gunton (The Shawshank Redemption, 24), Austin Stowell (Catch-22, Bridge of Spies), Briana Middleton (The Tender Bar), David Walton (New Girl, Bad Moms), Reese Alexander (The Interview, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Peyton List (Bunk’d, Hubie Halloween).
It was penned by Chris LaMont and Joe Russo (Nightmare Cinema).
Brugués also directed the “Into the Dark” episode Pooka Lives! as well as episodes of “50 States of Fright” and “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series”.
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.
