It’s Going To Be A ‘Grim Night’ For German Director
Not to be confused with the show “Grimm” that’s over covered on other sites, German helmer Dennis Gansel is in negotiations to make his U.S. directorial debut on Grim Night for Universal, says Variety.
The pic is based on the original screenplay and short film by Brandon Bestenheider and Allen Bey. The film is set in a world where people lock themselves indoors one night a year for fear of random attacks from creatures known as the Grims. In the film the Grim Reapers come to Earth to collect souls. The previously released video promo teases the loss of over 90,000 people thus far.
Marc Platt will produce alongside Adrienne Biddle and Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) of Unbroken Films. Anikah McLaren, Universal’s director of development, will oversee the project for the studio.
Universal paid in the high six figures for the pitch last fall, and the project is a high priority for the studio, which sees it as a potential franchise.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
