Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, A Bigger Boat and GreeneStreet Films have purchased “Obsessed” screenwriter David Loughery’s supernatural thriller pitch Mourning After. The three banners will co-finance, develop and produce. Loughery is currently penning the screenplay, set in contemporary San Francisco and centering on a man who falls in love with a beautiful woman with a timeless, deadly secret. Story’s based on an original idea from Sparkler topper Charles Segars and Steve Ireland. Loughery also penned crime thriller “Lakeview Terrace.”
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
