Went Up the Hill
Deadline reports Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things) and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) are attached to star in Went Up The Hill, a supernatural horror movie inspired by the nursery rhyme from director Samuel Van Grinsven. The story is said to focus on Jack (Montgomery) as he “ventures to remote New Zealand to attend the funeral of his estranged mother and meets her grieving widow, Jill (Krieps). His search for answers becomes dangerous when his mother’s ghost returns to inhabit both Jack and Jill, using each of their bodies to speak to the other, and instigating a life-threatening nocturnal dance between the three of them.”
The Forest Hills
Meanwhile, Bloody-Disgusting reports Edward Furlong and Dee Wallace will star in The Forest Hills, a new werewolf movie from director Scott Goldberg. The story is said to follow Rico, “a man tormented by nightmarish visions after enduring head trauma while hiking in the Catskills.” While there’s no word on who Wallace is playing, Furlong has reportedly been cast as Billy, “a man who influences Rico to believe that he can become a werewolf.”
The Old Guard 2
Charlize Theron stated the upcoming sequel to The Old Guard feels “more global” than the first during a recent interview with Variety.
You know, it’s so pretentious when an actor is like, ‘It’s so much bigger! It’s so much better!’ And I think you know that I’m not that person. It is pretty impressive what we did, because it felt very specific, the first time around, and we wanted to kind of like take it out of that. What we let the audience think was that set world, and we really kind of turned that on its head. So I’m excited about that. We have a bigger cast, and it feels more global. It’s a big movie.
