‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge’ – First Look at Fairytale-Based Slasher Movie
Winnie the Pooh. Cinderella. Mickey Mouse. If a beloved character falls into the public domain, you can be sure that a horror movie twist on the classic tale won’t be far behind.
The next of these public domain horrors is slasher movie Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge, and Variety shares a first look sneak peek today (find it above).
The upcoming slasher is being compared to The Strangers and The Purge.
Variety details, “In this adaptation of the fairy tale, Goldilocks and the three bears live together in an isolated house in the woods. When a group of friends enter their home, Goldilocks, leader of the bears’ pack, decides to get rid of the intruders.”
Craig Rees (Annabellum, Whispers) directed for Rees Dragon Prods.
Rees, Olga Solo, Abigail Huxley, and Julian Amos star.
No word yet on a U.S. release for this one. Stay tuned.
The box office success of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey last year is to blame for this current trend of public domain-inspired horror movies, with a sequel on the way this year.
The next installment in the Jurassic World franchise continues to build its main cast, with THR reporting tonight that Rupert Friend (Asteroid City) is the latest actor to sign on.
He’ll join the previously announced Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer), and Jonathan Bailey (Wicked) in the franchise’s next film.
Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla, The Creator) will be directing the new installment, with original Jurassic Park writer David Koepp returning to write the screenplay.
Jurassic World returns to theaters on July 2, 2025. Stay tuned for more.
The new movie is expected to usher in a brand new Jurassic Era with Jurassic World cast members Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard not expected to return. Don’t expect the original trilogy’s Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill, either. The new Jurassic World, from what we gather, plans to take the franchise in a new direction, with plot details under wraps.
The next Jurassic World film will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley will produce and David Leitch and Kelly McCormick will also produce through 87North.
Executive Vice President of Production Development Sara Scott and Creative Executive of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the Studio.
This news comes in the wake of Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion, a trilogy of sequels to the original classic that concluded in 2022. The last entry, Jurassic World: Dominion, brought in a billion dollars at the global box-office, all but ensuring Universal would want to continue this franchise.
The franchise will also return to the small screen with “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” this year, an animated series from Netflix set in the world of “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.”
