It seems that Italian horror master Dario Argento is directing a brand new horror movie, and it also seems that Oscar-nominated actor Isabelle Huppert will be starring. But we know almost nothing about the movie at this time, as it has no title and isn’t even on IMDb yet.
So what DO we know about Dario Argento’s next horror movie?
It was in 2022 that Argento revealed the project at FrightFest, telling the crowd that his next would be a remake of a 1940s Mexican thriller… but he didn’t name that movie at the time.
As FrightFest co-director Alan Jones tweeted back in August 2022, “Just to clarify what Dario Argento exclusively revealed at FrightFest last night; his new movie will be shot in Paris, it’s a remake of a 1940s Mexican thriller and he won’t publicly reveal the title just yet.”
It was then in October 2023 that Isabelle Huppert revealed she would be starring in the mysterious Dario Argento movie. The actress said, “I am very happy to be making this film with him; he is such a strange and original director, but for now, I can’t say anything more.”
The latest update on this mystery project from director Dario Argento comes courtesy of an interview with Argento from the Italian outlet Adnkronos that was published last month.
The outlet asked Argento the following question: “You’re shooting a film with Isabelle Huppert and you’ve said it will be your bloodiest film yet. What will it be like?”
Argento’s response? “It’s a very strong, very bloody film. Isabelle Huppert is gorgeous. An actress of unheard-of class. I’ve seen everything she’s done, cinema, television, and theater.”
“It’s a spectacle to see her,” Argento added.
In addition to his upcoming return to the director’s chair, Argento will be producing three new horror movies: Flesh of My Flesh, The Girl with Crystal Eyes, and The Black Velvet Mask.
