Friday the 13th Hottie Heads to Carpenter’s ‘Ward’
John Carpenter’s next horror project just got a whole lot hotter as Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th, The Crazies) will star opposite Amber Heard in The Ward, a psychological horror thriller that the legendary director is helming for Echo Lake Entertainment and A Bigger Boat. The story follows a girl (Heard) who is admitted to a psychiatric ward, meets other girls there with distinct personalities and discovers a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night. Panabaker plays a patient in the institution, a snobbish girl who flirts with orderlies and faces electroshock therapy. Mamie Gummer also has been cast as a patient. Michael and Shawn Rasmussen wrote the script, with revisions by Jim Agnew and Sean Keller.
Fresh off the last two Scream movies and this year’s Abigail, the filmmaking trio known as Radio Silence is next setting their sights on a project titled The Robots Go Crazy.
Deadline reports that the action-comedy package has landed at Amazon MGM Studios, with Radio Silence directing the film and Andy Samberg (Palm Springs) starring.
Deadline notes, “Plot details are unknown other then it being described as an action comedy.”
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will be directing for Radio Silence.
Andrew Lanham is writing the screenplay and will also executive produce.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will produce with Andy Samberg and Ali Bell via The Lonely Island’s banner Party Over Here, along with Radio Silence’s Chad Villella, and Silk Mass’s Jon Silk. Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone will also produce for Party Over Here.
