Sam Raimi-Produced Horror Movie ‘Don’t Move’ Finds a Home at Netflix
Up next from producer Sam Raimi‘s Raimi Productions and Hammerstone Studios (Barbarian) is Don’t Move, a horror movie that has just been acquired by streamer Netflix.
Variety first reported the news this afternoon that Netflix picked up the worldwide rights to Don’t Move, an upcoming horror movie starring Kelsey Asbille (“Yellowstone”).
Finn Wittrock (“American Horror Story”) also stars in Don’t Move.
No word yet on a release date. Stay tuned for more.
“Don’t Move watches as a seasoned killer injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent. She must then run, fight and hide before her body completely shuts down.”
Adam Schindler and Brian Netto (Quibi’s horror series “50 States of Fright”) directed Don’t Move. T.J. Cimfel and David White (Intruders) wrote the screenplay.
Capstone Studios produced alongside Raimi Productions and Hammerstone.
“We are beyond thrilled to make this absolute white-knuckle ride of a film with talents such as Kelsey and Finn,” Schindler and Netto said in a recent statement. “On top of that, we get to team with the teams at Raimi, Capstone and Hammerstone — companies operating at the top of the genre game. We could not be more excited to get to work.”
Sam Raimi recently said in a statement of his own, “I am delighted to collaborate again with our co-directors Adam and Brian on this incredibly frightening and tense story full of so many twists and turns – it will deliver a fantastic horror punch to the audience!”
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
