SD Comic-Con ’10: Fans Hurl Boos At Shyamalan’s Name in ‘Devil’ Trailer
Found this hysterical nugget of news over at Heat Vision. “How much do fans hate M. Night Shayalaman? The Let Me In panel was running behind so they ran a series of trailers, one of them being the Shyamalan-produced horror thriller Devil. The trailer was playing, the audience was into it, until…the screen read “From M. Night Shyamalan.” A huge collective GROAN exhaled from the crowd. Even worse, when the trailer finished, “boos” were thrown at the screen.” Wish I was there, that’s HILARIOUS (even though the movie actually looks kinda awesome).
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.”
