Two More Bikini Up for ‘Shark Night 3D’
Sara Paxton (The Last House on the Left) and Katharine McPhee (The House Bunny) are sinking their teeth into Shark Night 3D, from Sierra Pictures and Incentive Filmed Entertainment. Dustin Milligan (Extract) has also been casting alongside the previous announced Chris Carmack, Alyssa Diaz, Joel David Moore and Sinqua Walls. David R. Ellis (The Final Destination 3D, Final Destination 2, Snakes on a Plane, Asylum) begins lensing the action-thriller in Shreveport, La., later this month. From a script by Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes, Shark Knight revolves around a group of college friends who spend the weekend at a lake house, only to find all sorts of dangerous sharks lurking beneath the waters.

‘The Looming’ – A24 and ‘Talk to Me’ Producers To Team on Feature Adaptation of Sundance Horror Short
A24 is aiming to recreate the breakout success of last year’s Talk to Me by reuniting with Causeway Films (Talk to Me) and Ari Aster’s Square Peg (Hereditary) for a feature length adaptation of Masha Ko‘s Sundance short film The Looming.
Masha Ko will write and direct The Looming.
About the short film: “When a virtual home assistant speaker, Luna, picks up the strange noise Chester has heard in his house, he realizes that it may not be a symptom of dementia.”
The short film stars Joseph Lopez, Kolten Horner, Brianne Buishas, and Alyssa Nicole.
Ko is an award-winning director and human installation artist, with the goal to highlight the stories of individuals who are often overlooked by society and whose lives are rarely celebrated through artistic forms. That’s evident in the premise for her short film, which played in the Midnight Short Film Program at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. During the festival, Ko won the Short Film Special Jury Prize for Directing the psychological thriller.
The jurors said of Ko’s short, “Terrifyingly beautiful seems like an oxymoronic phrase, but this terrifying yet beautiful short left us deeply moved and served as a haunting reminder to not send your parents’ calls to voicemail.”
The success of the short clearly caught the attention of A24, and its plot feels reminiscent of 2020’s Relic.
A24 will produce alongside Square Peg’s Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone and Causeway Films’ Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton. A24 will finance and handle worldwide releasing.
Stay tuned for additional details on The Looming as they arrive.
