Ewan McGregor Joins Anne Hathaway in ‘It Follows’ Director’s Mysterious IMAX “Thrill Ride”
Originally reported by Jeff Sneider and John Rocha on their show “The Hot Mic” last year, David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) is at the helm of a mysterious new genre movie for Bad Robot and Warner Bros. that’s reportedly set in the 1980s… and features dinosaurs?!
These specific details haven’t been officially confirmed by any subsequent news reports, but Deadline does provide their own update on the mysterious genre movie this afternoon.
Ewan McGregor will star alongside the previously announced Anne Hathaway!
The untitled film will be shot in IMAX, expected to head into production this year.
Anne Hathaway is no stranger to massive beasts, as the actress starred in Nacho Vigalondo’s original Kaiju movie Colossal back in 2016. Could her next battle be with dinosaurs?
Stay tuned for more on this developing story as we learn it.
Deadline adds, “Mitchell will direct from his own original script and produce alongside J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella for Bad Robot, and Jackson Pictures’ Matt Jackson. Jake Weiner and Chris Bender of Good Fear Content will serve as executive producers.”
Speaking of David Robert Mitchell, the filmmaker is also returning to the world of It Follows with the upcoming They Follow, which will bring Maika Monroe back as Jay Height.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
