‘Kidnapped’ Director Taps “Lost” Fav For Apocalyptic ‘Welcome to Harmony’
“Burn Notice” star Jeffrey Donovan, pictured below, and “Lost’s” Matthew Fox, pictured above, will star in the post-apocalyptic horror movie Welcome to Harmony, which will serve as the English-language debut of Spanish director Miguel Angel Vivas (who helmed the incredible Kidnapped), TheWrap writes.
Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, House of Wax) and Juan Sola are producing through their Ombra Films banner along with Hernany Perla (Ghost Team One). Vivas and Alberto Marini adapted Juan de Dios Garduno’s bestselling book “Y pese a todo.”
“The story follows two men and a young girl living in a remote village who remain untouched by a worldwide infection that turns survivors into beasts.”
Explains the site, Donovan is in negotiations to play the young girl’s father, while Fox is set to play the other lead.
As TheWrap notes, back in 2011, Vivas told us at Bloody the project was “28 Days Later meets a John Carpenter movie meets [John Boorman’s] Hell in the Pacific.”
Producers plan to start production in February in Eastern Europe.
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.”
