While we’re still unsure what genre Spike Lee’s newly Kickstarter film is, the logline was definitely horror-themed as it centers on humans addicted to blood.

Lee revealed that Michael K. Williams, who played the intense Omar in “The Wire”, has joined the cast. Back on August 5 is was revealed that British actress Zaraah Abrahams was cast as the female lead.

More news on the film as production gets underway, I’m sure, so keep your eyes peeled here.

Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”

Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
