“Community” Star Gillian Jacobs Releases Ken Marino’s Inner Demon ‘Milo’
Back on June 19 we revealed exclusively that Black Rock editor Jacob Vaughan is getting behind the camera for the genre comedy Milo, a new horror thriller that will star Ken Marino (pictured below; Wanderlust, Role Models), Judy Greer (Carrie) and Peter Stormare (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Mall).
THR adds today that Gillian Jacobs (pictured top), one of the stars of NBC’s “Community” and The Box, has also joined the growing cast. Jacobs will play Marino’s wife, and one of the stresses in his life.
Penned by Vaughan & Benjamin Hayes, the plot is incredibly interesting as it’s said to follow Duncan (played by Marino), an incredibly stressed man who is plagued with vicious stomach troubles. We’re told that Duncan actually has a demon living inside his intestines, a demon who wreaks havoc internally until Duncan, during a therapy session, gives it permission to come out. Highsmith (played by Stormare), Duncan’s shrink, explains that the demon is the personification of his anxiety. He’s advised to embrace his inner demon and thus names it Milo…
Shooting begins this July in Los Angeles.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
