More Bodies Stack Up Next To ‘Open Grave’
Joseph Morgan ( Immortals ), Erin Richards (pictured) and Max Wrottesley will star alongside previously announced Sharlto Copley (District 9, Oldboy), Thomas Kretschmann and Josie Ho in Atlas Independent’s Open Grave, a long gestured thriller that’s been in development since 2007.
Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego (Apollo 18) is directing the tale of six desperate individuals who wake up with amnesia-like symptoms next to an open grave of rotting bodies in a remote, desolate forest.
“The story centers on a man who wakes up in a remote wilderness with no memory in a pit full of dead bodies and must determine if the murderer is one of the strangers who rescued him, or if he himself is the killer.”
Atlas Independent’s William Green and Aaron Ginsburg are producing with Michael Wunderman. Production will begin Friday. The film is being produced in association with 852 films.
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.”
