A Modern Take on ‘Peter and the Wolf’
Madhouse Entertainment (Blood Creek, The Invasion) is currently developing a new spin on Peter and the Wolf, Sergei Prokofiev’s Russian fairy tale from 1936. In order to save the love of his life and confront his own past, Peter, with the help of two very unlikely allies, sets out to trap a cunning serial killer who has returned to the college town he once terrorized. The screenplay was penned by Paul Busenitz. The spin reminds me of Cry_Wolf and the Reese Witherspoon starrer Freeway.
From the mind of “Impractical Jokers” star James “Murr” Murray, the arachnid monster movie Don’t Move will be released in theaters September 11, we’ve learned this week.
The upcoming Don’t Move adapts the 2020 novel of the same name from co-authors Murray and Darren Wearmouth. Check out the movie’s official poster down below.
James Murray writes on X, “I’m so excited to finally share that our new horror film, Don’t Move, is coming to theaters nationwide September 11th weekend! We’re celebrating with special premiere events in Kansas City (September 8th) and at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles (September 9th), featuring an early screening, cast appearances, Q&As, and red-carpet photos! Visit http://DontMoveMovie.com for tickets to the premieres before they sell out!”
Expect the official trailer for Don’t Move on Wednesday, July 8.
Lyndsy Fonseca (Kick-Ass), Russell “Russ” Vitale, and Tom Cavanagh (The Flash) star alongside Hunter King (Life in Pieces), Rob Riggle (The Hangover), and Joseph Lee Anderson (Young Rock). Expect plenty of cameos including T-Pain, Matt Biedel, and “Impractical Jokers” members James Murray and Brian Quinn.
In Don’t Move, a church group’s annual retreat turns deadly when they wander into the wrong part of the Ozark wilderness, and something starts picking them off one by one.
Suspicion falls on Ricky (Russell “Russ” Vitale), the troublemaker of the group. But the real threat is far worse. Deep in the forest, wrapped in a labyrinth of webs, the group is pursued by a terrifying prehistoric arachnid that hunts by vibration. When every step could be their last, they only have one choice: Don’t Move.
It’s up to Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) to hold what’s left of the group together and get them out alive.
Maclain Nelson (Vamp U) directed from the script he co-wrote with Murray and Wearmouth.
David M. Wulf produces the film that hails from Murr’s new banner Impractical Studios and counts Jeremy Starline, Gina James, Lou Magrone, Rich Osiashvili and Brian Schell as executive producers. Ethan Berman is a co-producer, while Kylie Rohead associate produces.
