Coralie Fargeat’s New Horror Movie ‘The Substance’ Acquired by Mubi
Just a few days after we shared the first look images from Revenge (2017) director Coralie Fargeat’s new body horror movie The Substance, Deadline brings us a fresh update.
Ahead of the film’s world premiere in Cannes, Mubi has acquired the worldwide rights.
Deadline explains in their report this morning, “The global film distributor, production company and streaming service will retain all rights in North America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Latin America and Benelux, where they will release theatrically this year.”
“Mubi has also acquired the rights for Turkey and India,” Deadline adds.
Written and directed by Fargeat, The Substance stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid, and you can check out a couple sneak peek images above and below.
Here’s how the Cannes Film Festival website describes the film…
“Have you ever dreamed of a better version of yourself? You should try this new product: The Substance. It changed my life. With The Substance, you can generate another version of yourself, younger, more beautiful, more perfect… Just share the time. One week for one, one week for the other. A perfect balance of seven days. Easy isn’t it?
“If you follow the instructions, what could go wrong?”
The Substance will World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this month.
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.
