AFM ’10: Cillian Murphy Joins ‘Buried’ Director’s ‘Red Lights’
Inception star Cillian Murphy has joined another mind-bender as he will join Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro in Buried director Rodrigo Cortés’ Red Lights, which turns on a psychologist, played by Weaver, and her assistant whose study of paranormal activity leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic (De Niro). Cortes told us “I’m working on a script on a paranormal theme about how the brain does not give a true picture of reality.” While Murphy is now known as the star of Batman Begins and Inception, he broke on the horror scene by starring in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later and Sunshine.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
