Rob Zombie’s ’31’ Poster Welcomes You to Hell (Sundance ’16)
Rob Zombie welcomes you to Hell.
The shock-rocker-turned-director has shared the official festival poster for 31, his Halloween-themed slasher that initially received an NC-17 before finally getting the much-needed R-rating from the dreaded MPAA for “strong bloody horror violence, pervasive language, sexual content and drug use.”
This morning Zombie celebrated the rating, and the upcoming Sundance Film Festival premiere, with a look at the film’s one-sheet that’s a collage of all the zany characters we’ll see in the film, played by Sheri Moon Zombie, Malcolm McDowell, Richard Brake, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Jeff Daniel Phillips, and even Meg Foster.
In 31, “Five friends are kidnapped on the day before Halloween and are held hostage in a terrifying place named Murder World. While trapped, they must play a violent game called 31, in which the mission is to survive 12 hours against a gang of evil clowns.“
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.”
