‘DxM’ Will Hurt Your Brain
Literally, it will hurt your brain attempting to understand the plot.
Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, Daybreakers and In the Mouth of Madness‘s Sam Neill, pictured has joined the cast of mind-bending science thriller DxM, which is the second project from Red Bull Media House’s recently launched feature film division CineMater, reports Variety.
“DxM is a high-octane thriller based around the possibilities of quantum mechanics. It centers on a group of young bio-engineers, led by Jaxon (Payne), who realize that quantum theory can be used to transfer motor-skills from one brain to another. Dark forces emerge to subvert this technology and turn it into a means of mass control.”
Other cast include Tom Payne (The Physician), Melia Kreiling (Guardians of the Galaxy), Antonia Campbell-Hughes (3096), Dominique Tipper (Vampire Academy), Oliver Stark (My Hero) and world champion free-runner Ryan Doyle.
The film, which was co-written and is directed by Andrew Goth (Gallowwalkers), is in pre-production, with principal photography set for June and a release early next year.
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.
