Cleopatra Entertainment Haunted by ‘The Ghosts of Monday’ [Trailer]
UK-based sales outfit Jinga Films has closed deals in multiple territories for Francesco Cinquemani’s supernatural thriller, The Ghosts of Monday, writes ScreenDaily.
Cleopatra Entertainment has acquired all rights for the US, while Raven Banner will release in Canada. Reel2Reel has acquired UK and Ireland and Lighthouse will distribute in Germany and Austria.
In the film, a filmmaker travels to the island of Cyprus to make a tv show about the tragically famous Hotel Gula, where more than 100 people died in mysterious circumstances. He becomes embroiled in a supernatural conspiracy led by a religious cult hell bent on human sacrifice.
Julian Sands and Mark Huberman star.
The horror is produced by Loris Curci, Marianna Rosset and Vitaly Rosset of Cyprus-based Altadium Group.
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.
