New Bret Easton Ellis Project Takes Hostages
Myriad Pictures and RKO Pictures’ genre division, The Roseblood Movie Company, announce they are co-financing and producing a film based on an original screenplay by Bret Easton Ellis. The currently untitled project is scheduled to begin shooting in late summer 2009 and is to be directed by Brad Furman. The script tells the story of an awkward social outcast who, after being humiliated by a group of peers, exacts revenge by taking them hostage, with dire consequences. Ellis is best known for his edgy perspective on the lives of disaffected youth in such novels and screenplays as AMERICAN PSYCHO, LESS THAN ZERO and THE RULES OF ATTRACTION. Furman directed THE TAKE and is set to direct VALET for Alcon Entertainment.
The new trailer for epic survival thriller The Dog Stars warns to fear the survivors of the apocalypse.
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Josh Brolin (Weapons), and Margaret Qualley (The Substance) try to maintain their humanity in the intense new trailer for Ridley Scott‘s survivor thriller, releasing in theaters on August 28, 2026.
The film is “set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice. Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world until a mysterious radio transmission spurs Hig to venture into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exists.”
Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Allison Janney also star.
The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling novel and written by Mark L. Smith (Overlord, The Revenant) and produced by Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Mark L. Smith, and Cliff Roberts.
Check out the new trailer and poster below, which emphasize the thrills in the upcoming survival thriller. But it’s one that’s also filled with hope.
“I think people will be surprised and engaged, actually. I would say, hmm… charmed as well,” Scott says of the film. “Although, there is some violence.”
