‘Frontier(s)’ Director Prepares for ‘The Fallout’
The same year that Inside took me to horror heaven at the Toronto International Film Festival, Xavier Gens’ Frontier(s) was also delivering infinite gory bliss. After getting behind the camera for Hitman and producing the lackluster (ok, abomination) The Horde, Gens is returning to the directors chair with The Fallout. You can read all about it beyond the break.
On the eve of the AFM, ContentFilm International has taken worldwide sales rights to action thriller The Fallout to be directed by Xavier Gens (Hitman). The film is due is due to start principal photography in Feb 2010 in Eastern Europe, reports Screen Daily.
The Fallout, set in a post-apocalyptic New York, is produced by Ross Dinerstein (The Killing Room, Powder Blue, Unknown), Darryn Welch (Goal! The Dream Begins,The Bang Bang Club, Stag Night), and Tony Krantz (24, Mulholland Drive) and was written by Karl Mueller and Eron Sheean who will also co produce.
It is billed as “a thriller that combines elements of’Assault on Precinct 13 with Lord of the Flies in a story of survival.”
“Xavier’s vision for this film is extraordinary. He brings a visual edge to this fascinating exploration of the human condition,” commented producer Ross Dinerstein.
“With a collective of `End of the World’ movies hitting the theatres presently, this film will undoubtedly stand out like a ravenous Pit bull in a school playground… brace yourselves cause this film has a serious bite to it!” said Producer Darryn Welch.
CFI’s Carmichael added: `Xavier is a super talented, commercial filmmaker and he’s a perfect match for this terrifying material. It’s going to be a very stylish genre film and we’re extremely excited to be working with him, Ross and Darryn.“
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
