‘The Last House On The Left’ Director To Build New ‘Home’ With Graham King And Appian Way
Screenwriter Adam Alleca and director Dennis Iliad, who collaborated on The Last House On The Left in 2009 have found their next project in Home. The filmmakers are reaming up with Graham King Films, Leonardo Dicaprio’s Appian Way and Paranormal Activity executive producer Steven Schneider on the project.
None of the issues I had with The Last House On The Left had anything to do with the actual talent behind the camera (I just found some of the morals were murky), I think it was a well made film and was certainly much more impressive than the bulk of horror remakes. So I’m definitely curious about what else Iliad and Alleca have up their sleeve.
Per Variety, “[the film] follows an unstable young man staying at his recently deceased father’s house. As odd phenomena begin to occur, he struggles to determine whether he’s having a nervous breakdown or his father is haunting him… Project was originally optioned in 2005 by Wes Craven through his and Marianne Maddalena’s Craven/Maddalena Films banner.”
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.”
