Colorful Trailer Debut For ‘The Night Sitter’
Here’s the colorful first trailer for the independent The Night Sitter, starring Elyse DuFour (AMC’s “The Walking Dead”), Jack Champion (Avatar sequels), and Jermaine Rivers (“The Gifted”).
Executive produced by Jeffrey Reddick (Final Destination), “A scheming con artist (DuFour) poses as innocent babysitter “Amber” to steal from Ted Hooper, a wealthy occult enthusiast with a reclusive son named Kevin. Her crew arrives to clean out the house just as Kevin stumbles upon one of his father’s most prized artifacts and unwittingly summons a trio of witches known as The Three Mothers. As the playful, sadistic witches start picking people off, Amber and Kevin form an unlikely bond and try to survive the night together.”
The film was written and directed by Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco.
Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement have toyed with the idea of making a sequel film to mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows for years with no forward movement, but that may soon be changing, according to Clement.
Speaking with Collider at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Clement not only reaffirmed the intention to make a We’re Wolves film, but also that he and Waititi have finally started the writing process.
“We’re writing it, actually. We started writing. For a long time, we were just talking about it. Now, we’ve started it. Very recently,” Clement told the outlet. Though, don’t expect it to be a swift process with their busy schedules.
When does Clement estimate the script will be completed? “At the pace we’re going, 2027, for sure. It helps to be in the same country, for Taika and I to be in the same country,” said the filmmaker.
Waititi has previously joked that “We’re Wolves is the film that Jemaine and I keep pretending that we’re making. Every couple of years we say, we’re making this new film called We’re Wolves, which follows the werewolves from the film.“
The 2014 film What We Do in the Shadows chronicles the lives of four vampire roommates, detailing their nightly routine as they bicker over household chores, cruise for victims, antagonize the local werewolf pack, struggle with modern technology, and more. It introduced a rival pack of werewolves led by Anton (Rhys Darby), the inspiration for the sequel.
While the long-gestating sequel set around the wolf pack is still in the early stage of development, the 2014 film has inspired two spinoff shows in the form of “Wellington Paranormal” and, well, FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows.”
