Frontier(s) Director’s ‘Horde’ Casts Up, Begins Production
We broke the news back in July about a new horror film being produced by the director of FRONTIER(S), Xavier Gens, entitled The Horde. In the news post we scored not only the early teaser art, but also the synopsis for the film that follows an end of the world battle between gangsters, cops and zombies. Since then, Jean-Pierre Martins, Aurélien Recoing, Claude Perron and Alain Figlarz have all been cast alongside Eriq Ebouaney, with the film finally entering principal photography, according to Cineuropa. You can check out the poster again inside.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
