Room 101/Platinum Dunes Team for Untitled Creature Feature
Paramount’s looking for more monsters, setting up an untitled horror project penned by Mark L. Smith (Vacancy, The Hole 3D) with Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form along with Room 101’s Steven Schneider. Per the usual, the logline’s under wraps other than the story being in the vein of I Am Legend, Aliens and The Descent. Bay, Fuller and Form produced A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th for New Line and recently entered a new first-look deal at Par, where it’s developing several projects including a remake of Fred Dekker’s Monster Squad. Schneider exec produced Paranormal Activity for Paramount and is prepping the sequel with Jason Blum and Akiva Goldsman. He’s also producing Paranormal director Oren Peli’s follow-up feature Area 51 for Paramount.
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.
