With Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in theaters now, the filmmaker has started discussing his upcoming projects.
Lee Cronin is returning to his Irish roots with “Spiral,” a TV series he created with Glenn Montgomery.
“It’s set in 1980s Ireland and dripping in folklore, repression, and the strangeness of the Irish countryside,” he revealed to Variety.
Cronin will produce the show via his Wicked/Good alongside The Mummy producers Blumhouse and Atomic Monster.
“We’ve also got a found-footage movie that we’re producing, and a slasher movie with two brothers from Aruba, which is a really, really interesting and a different approach to the slasher genre,” said Cronin.
As for his next feature in the director’s chair, Cronin is toying with a supernatural horror movie called Box of Bones.
“I have a project called Box of Bones, which I was developing after I made The Hole in the Ground, and I was developing it again after Evil Dead Rise, and before I made The Mummy,” Cronin tells Variety.
“It was kind of starting to just slip down the pecking order, and for some reason, it’s really, really appealing to me — it’s kind of burning in my mind. So I’m sitting at my new desk in my new house, and I’m like, ‘Is this the thing that’s going to start polluting the desk?’”
Speaking with Screen Rant, Cronin described Box of Bones as “a creepy little triangle between two people and a ghost, very much a horror movie.”
We’ll keep you posted on all of these projects, along with anything else Cronin has in the works, as they develop.
