Celebrate The 90th Anniversary Of ‘The Phantom Of The Opera’
At this year’s annual Mile High Film Festival, a special event will take place to celebrate the achievements of Lon Chaney Sr. and Lon Chaney Jr. Great grandson/grandson (respectively) Ron Chaney, who has starred in films such as Coffin Baby and The House Of Wolf Man, will be on hand to accept the two Lifetime Achievement Awards for these two actors, who have portrayed characters such as the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Wolf Man, Dracula, the Mummy, and much more.
After the awards are presented, there will be a special screening of The Phantom Of The Opera with live musical accompaniment from festival veteran Paul Buscarello.
This year’s festival takes place Oct. 1-4 at the Alamo Drafthouse in Littleton, Colorado. More information can be found at the official website.
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.”
