First Look at ‘The Boy’ Director’s Folk Horror ‘Lord of Misrule’ [Image]
Bloody Disgusting has the first look image from contemporary folk horror Lord of Misrule, hailing from William Brent Bell, the filmmaker behind The Devil Inside, The Boy, Brahms, and the recent Orphan prequel.
“Lord of Misrule is a pagan horror story set in a rural English village, where Rebecca Holland has recently taken over the parish church. When her young daughter goes missing at a winter festival, villagers and local police join in the desperate search.
“However, the closer they edge towards finding the girl, the more secrets emerge from the town’s dark past; soon Rebecca must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to rescue her daughter from the grip of evil.”
When announced, Tom de Ville‘s (The Quiet Ones) script was said to echo The Wicker Man and Midsommar.
It stars Tuppence Middleton (“Sense8”, Jupiter Ascending) and The Witch‘s Ralph Ineson with Matt Stokoe (Outlaw King).
Bankside is handling sales at AFM. Thanks to Fabien M. for sending.
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.
