Breck Eisner’s ‘Blood of the Innocent’ Gets Fully Financed
First announced last June, Inferno Entertainment has come aboard to finance Victorian era horror-thriller Blood of the Innocent, with Circle of Confusion producing.
Breck Eisner (The Crazies) is still attached to direct and Bill Marsilii (Deja Vu) is writing. Click here to see what Eisner had to say about the project back in June 2010.
Project is based on a four-issue comic book series pitting Dracula against Jack the Ripper and published by Warp in 1985. “Blood of the Innocent” was written by Rickey Shanklin & Mark Wheatley and drawn by Marc Hempel & Mark Wheatley.
Marsilii has developed a pitch in which Jack the Ripper is saving the world by killing off Dracula’s brides.
It’s unclear if this will affect Eisner directing The Last Witch Hunter for Summit.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
