‘Transformers’ Hottie Joins Alien Invasion at ‘The Darkest Hour’
What’s Playing revealed tonight that Rachael Taylor (Transformers, Shutter) and Joel Kinnaman (Snabba Cash) have been cast alongside Olivia Thirlby and Emile Hirsch in Summit Entertainment’s alien-invasion thriller The Darkest Hour. What makes this project interesting to me is Chris Gorak, who will be directing the pic. The scope and intensity of his indie Right At Your Door makes me think Gorak is going to knock this one out of the park. Darkest Hour is described as a 28 Days-like thriller is set in Moscow and follows a group of Americans traveling in the city when an alien invasion occurs.
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.
