‘dEVIL’ Clones Michelangelo, Galileo, Vivaldi, and… Jesus [Photo]
Deadline shares a first look at Nathan Frankowski’s horror feature dEVIL, which stars Alice Orr-Ewing (The Theory of Everything) and features one helluva weird-ass plot.
In the film, the hottest biotech company in the world has discovered they can clone history’s most influential people from the dead. Now, they are auctioning clones of Michelangelo, Galileo, Vivaldi, and others for tens of millions of dollars to the world’s ultra-rich. But when they steal the Shroud of Turin and clone the DNA of Jesus Christ, all hell breaks loose.”
Also starring are Joe Doyle (“Salem”), Eveline Hall (“Whiskey Cavalier”), Peter Mensah (“Spartacus”), Joe Anderson (“Hangman”), Spencer Wilding (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Brian Caspe (Jojo Rabbit) and David Faulkner.
Film Mode Entertainment is handling sales on the title and will be screening it for the first time during this month’s virtual European Film Market.
Ed Alan wrote and produced the feature. Executive producers include Kevan Van Thompson, Vaclac Mottl, Michael S. Emerson and Mike Sears. The film is now in post-production.
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
