More High-Flying Terror In ‘Night Wings’
Ember Entertainment has taken the U.S. distribution rights to Dusan Strugar’s Night Wings (what a terrible title), a teen action thriller from Canadian indie producers Lucid Dreams and Julijette Inc, reports THR.
The Inferno Entertainment division is also handling international sales for the genre pic, written by Paul Birkett, “about a 12 year-old boy on a redeye flight over the Atlantic trying to convince the flight crew that vampires are onboard the flight from Romania. Only one passenger believes the boy, a father seeking revenge for the loss of his son to the Count Radu vampire clan.”
Strugar is currently visual effects producer on the Chronicles of Riddick sequel.
This Fright Night on a plane joins other high-flying thrillers over the past year from Altitude to Dark Flight 407, Quarantine 2: Terminal, Airborne and 7500. 
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.”
