Survival Thriller ‘Cold Meat’ Battles a Blizzard and a Beast [Image]
ScreenDaily shares the first image and details on the Colorado Rockies-set survival thriller Cold Meat, featuring Downton Abbey star Allen Leech in the lead role.
“Leech stars as a man traveling through the Colorado Rockies who saves a young waitress from her violent ex-husband when he stops off at a diner.
“He sets off again in a fierce blizzard but after a false move behind the wheel wakes up inside a ravine in the eye of the storm.
The cold is the least of his worries when a beast starts prowling outside.”
Leech’s other credits outside of Downton Abbey include Bohemian Rhapsody and The Imitation Game. The cast also features Nina Bergman (Doom: Annihilation) and Yan Tual (Outlander).
The thriller is the feature directorial debut of French director Sebastien Drouin, a VFX supervisor who has worked on movies such as 2046, Babylon A.D. and Alexander.
Cold Meat is co-written by Drouin, Andrew Desmond (The Sonata) and James Kermack (Knuckledust). It is produced by Julien Loeffler, Kermack and James Barton-Steel for Featuristic Films.
French sales company WTFilms has taken world rights on the film. It’s the company’s second collaboration with UK production company Featuristic Films, after working together on James Kermack’s action thriller Knuckledust in 2020.
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.
