‘Room 428’: Scott Derrickson Producing Next Horror Movie from ‘The Wretched’ Filmmakers
Fresh off The Black Phone, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will next be producing the horror movie Room 428, and Deadline details the Screen Gems project this afternoon.
Brett and Drew Pierce, the filmmakers behind 2020’s The Wretched – which made headlines for topping drive-in charts during the pandemic – will be writing and directing Room 428!
The film is being described as a “supernatural horror movie,” with the plot under wraps.
Sherryl Clark will also be producing for Crooked Highway.
Deadline reminds, “[The Wretched] secured the number one spot at the box office in the U.S. for six consecutive weekends, becoming the first to hold that record since the release of Avatar in 2009. The Wretched became available to stream on Netflix on July 31st, and subsequently charted as one of the Top 10 Most Watched Films in the U.S.”
Brett and Drew Pierce also directed the 2011 zombie movie Deadheads.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
