Joe Lynch’s Next Will Be Horror Film ‘Taste’!
We’re big fans of Joe Lynch, who got his start directing the incredibly entertaining 2007 sequel Wrong Turn 2. Lynch has gone on to direct films like Everly and this year’s Mayhem, and he’s been a staple on the horror scene thanks to the podcast The Movie Crypt, co-hosted by Hatchet director Adam Green.
What’s next for Lynch? Another horror movie, we’re happy to report!
Via Deadline, Lynch will be directing Taste, a horror film written by David Cohen. The shoot is expected to take place in Los Angeles this coming Summer.
When a young chef-on-the-rise is invited to cook for a revered master’s private supper club, what at first seems like a career-launching opportunity soon turns deadly with the discovery that she and her husband are at risk of becoming dinner themselves.
“I’ve been dying to direct something darker in the genre and when I read David’s script, which had a fantastic take on the current foodie/haute cuisine culture, I was pretty much salivating,” Lynch said. “I’m thrilled to be working with Penchant [Entertainment] to bring this fantastically twisted and exciting tale to life and make people rethink what’s for dinner.”
Erin Eggers, Chase Hudson and Matthew Porter will produce with Cohen.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
