‘Howl’ Chases Down ‘The Descent’ Starlet!
ScreenDaily writes that A Lonely Place to Die‘s Ed Speleers and The Descent‘s Shauna Macdonald, pictured, have joined the cast of Paul Hyett’s upcoming horror Howl, which we already reported is being shopped in Cannes by fledgling UK sales outfit Metrodome International.
In first plot details, the creature horror, which begins shoot on May 27, “tells the story of a midnight train which is attacked by a terrifying pack of werewolves, forcing a shy ticket inspector to unleash his inner beast to lead his passengers to safety and survive the night.“
Metrodome has sold the film in Cannes to Shooting Stars for Middle East.
Director Hyett is known for his SFX work on The Woman in Black and The Descent, which starred Macdonald (above). Writers are Mark Huckerby and Nick Ostler.
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.”
