Winter Confirms ‘Gate’ Directing Duties, Hopes to Have Stephen Dorff Return!
Just got word from one of B-D’s own who attended a very special midnight screening of Freaked at the New Beverly in Los Angeles where actor-turned-director Alex Winter was on hand and confirmed that he will in fact be directing a 3-D reboot of The Gate and that the film is currently in pre-production. “I can’t wait to hurl shit at the audience in 3-D!,” he exclaimed. But the real news came later where Winter, the star of The Lost Boys and the Bill and Ted movies, revealed that he hopes to have Stephen Dorff play the father in the updated version. In the original Dorff played one of three young children who accidentally release a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from a hole in a suburban backyard..
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
