‘The Woman in the Yard’ – Blumhouse Thriller from ‘The Shallows’ Director Will Star Danielle Deadwyler
The director behind horror favorites House of Wax, Orphan, and The Shallows, Jaume Collet-Serra, is set to helm the Universal and Blumhouse thriller The Woman in the Yard. Per Variety, the thriller has also found its star in Danielle Deadwyler.
The Woman in the Yard is scheduled to be released in theaters on January 10, 2025.
Plot details are under wraps, with not even a logline to give any hints about Sam Stefanak‘s screenplay.
“’The Woman in the Yard’ is the perfect match, a film that’s ambitious in scope but modest in budget that combines Jaume’s vision with the incomparable Danielle Deadwyler,” producer Jason Blum said in a statement. Variety also notes that Blum has been searching for the right project to work on with Collet-Serra for “over a decade.”
The new thriller also marks a reunion between Collet-Serra and Deadwyler, who collaborated on upcoming action thriller Carry On. Deadwyler is best known for 2022’s biopic Till and the Western The Harder They Fall. On the horror front, the actor will next appear in A24’s I Saw the TV Glow, which premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival.
Deadwyler isn’t just starring, she’s also executive producing alonside Collet-Serra, Gabrielle Ebron, Scott Greenberg and James Mora. Jason Blum and Stephanie Allain will serve as producers. Haley Pigman and Jungyoon Kim will oversee the film for Blumhouse.
Stay tuned for more on this mysterious new thriller from Jaume Collet-Serra. Here’s to hoping that plot details emerge soon.
