Peace Arch Acquires Ketchum Sequel ‘Offspring: The Woman’, Lucky McKee to Direct!
Fans of Ghost House Underground’s DVD release of Offspring, Andrew Van Den Houten’s adaptation of Jack Ketchum’s novel, will be happy to know a sequel is in the work for later this year. Acquired by Peace Arch at the EFM, Offspring: The Woman will be directed by none other than Lucky McKee (The Woods, May). Angela Bettis reteams with McKee, along with Pollyanna McIntosh. The producers have scheduled a late June start for principal photography in Michigan. McKee will direct the tale of a disturbed lawyer who sets out to capture and tame the last surviving member of a violent clan that has terrorised the Northeast coast for decades. McIntosh reprises her role as The Woman from the earlier Ketchum adaptation.
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.
