Hit and Run Gives Feeling of ‘Inertia’ to ‘Apollo 18’ Director
Spanish director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego blasted onto the Weinstein’s radar with his foreign language King of the Hill (El rey de la montaña). The brothers were so impressed they tapped him to direct Apollo 18, the found-footage sci-fi horror film that’s been delayed to August. Word on the street is that it was not a good experience, which is why it comes as no shock that Lopez-Gallego is heading back to his home country.
Next up he’ll direct Inertia, which he co-wrote with Fernando Navarro.
“Just another day and as usual Burman goes to work as a courier. Half way through the morning he is witness to a brutal car accident. A car goes up onto the pavement and runs over a boy. The driver flees the scene. The boy is very seriously injured. Burman calls an ambulance and then, without really thinking about it, hits the accelerator of his van to follow the car, which then speeds up to avoid being caught.
This turns out to be an everlasting day in which Burman will discover that nothing is as it seems and that behind what at first appears to be accidental, hides a intriguing mystery. To catch the driver and reveal his face will become an obsession that will make lead him to situations he could never have imagined.”
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.
