‘Dark Faces’- Coal Miners Discover an Ancient Crypt in ‘Hostile’ Director’s Next!
Hostile and Meander (pictured above) director Mathieu Turi is next getting behind the camera for Dark Faces (Gueules Noires), which he has brought to Cannes, Bloody Disgusting learned.
The film takes place in 1956, north of France.
“A bunch of coal miners must embark with a strange professor to get some samples, 1000 meters underground. After the collapse of one part of the mine, they can’t go back, and try to find a way out.
“They discover an ancient crypt, and awake without knowing it a legendary bloodthirsty creature…”
Cast includes Samuel Le Bihan (Brotherhood of the Wolf), Amir El Kacem, and Thomas Solivérès.
“Gueules Noires will be a mix of horror and adventure, in the best tradition of H.P. Lovecraft stories, but set in a French reality and a strong social context,” says Turi. “After Meander, I’m lucky enough to work again with FULLTIME STUDIO on this crazy project I deeply love. It’s going to be a character-driven story, confronting the old and the new generations in an exciting and terrifying quest to the unknown.”
Producers are Full Time Studio (Eric Gendarme, Thomas Lubeau, Jordan Sarralie) and Marcel Films (Bruno Amic, Alexis Loizon, Patrick Raoux).
Filming is scheduled to begin this coming October. The French distributor is Alba Films. Kinology is handling international sales.
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.
