Mary Elizabeth Winstead Deprogrammed In ‘Faults’
Variety writes that Screen Media Films has acquired U.S. rights to thriller Faults, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Leland Orser. We have two extremely positive reviews here on Bloody, both here and here.
Winstead portrays a cult member whose family recruits a deprogramming specialist played by Orser.
Screen Media plans to distribute the film on March 6 with a nationwide theatrical release accompanied by a day-and-date VOD platform release.
Faults, which premiered at South by Southwest, also stars Beth Grant, Chris Ellis, Jon Gries and Lance Reddick. Riley Stearns directed from his own script in his directorial debut.
Snoot Entertainment’s Keith and Jessica Calder produced along with Winstead. The film was executive produced by Brian Joe and co-produced by Chris Harding and Roxanne Benjamin.
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.
