“The Sopranos” Creator David Chase Directing Untitled Horror Movie for New Line
Everyone wants a piece of the horror pie right now, so it’s no surprise that major studios and big name players are dipping their toes into these red waters. On that note, Deadline reports today that “The Sopranos” creator David Chase is directing a horror movie!
David Chase is reteaming with “The Sopranos” producer Terence Winter on the untitled project, which is set up at New Line as part of Chase’s “first look deal at Warner Bros.”
Deadline’s report explains, “Chase plans to direct the film, in what is Chase and Winter’s first theatrical film screenplay and feature producing collaboration.”
The project has no title and no synopsis at this time. Stay tuned.
Producers are Chase and Nicole Lambert (The Many Saints of Newark) for Riverain Pictures. Executive Producers are Rachel Winter (Dallas Buyers Club) through her Tangerine Pictures banner, and Terence Winter through his Cold Front Productions.
In addition to “The Sopranos,” David Chase also created “Almost Grown” and co-wrote the film The Many Saints of Newark. Chase directed two episodes of “The Sopranos” and made his feature debut with 2012’s Not Fade Away. Terence Winter, meanwhile, created “Boardwalk Empire” and he also wrote the screenplay for Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
