The ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ Remake Begins Casting
We aren’t hallucinating, Jacob’s Ladder is being remade.
Now, Michael Ealy will climb Jacob’s Ladder along with director David M. Rosenthal, who helmed the star in The Perfect Guy, Deadline reports.
The film is LD Entertainment’s re-imagining of the 1990 supernatural thriller that’s been scripted by Jeff Buhler and Sarah Thorp. This version is a modern day paranoid action thriller about two brothers.

Mickey Liddell, Pete Shilaimon and Jennifer Monroe at LD Entertainment will produce alongside Alison Rosenzweig and Michael Gaeta of Gaeta/Rosenzweig Films (Fright Night) Will Packer, who teamed with Ealy on Think Like A Man, will produce via his Will Packer Productions banner and WPPs’ James F. Lopez will be executive producer.
The project was originally sold as a pitch by Jake Wade Wall (The Hitcher, When a Stranger Calls).
Principal photography is set to begin in mid May.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
