WWE Hires ‘Fido’ Director for Supernatural ‘Barricade’

Published

on

Eric McCormack (“Trust Me,” Alien Trespass ) is starring in Barricade, the latest film from WWE Studios (you know, the guys behind See No Evil, and a little thing called “wrestling”). The deal marks the first time the company is making a picture that doesn’t star one of its WWE superstars.

What’s exciting about this project is that it’ll put Fido director Andrew Currie back behind the camera in Vancouver later this month. I was a huge fan of that movie; I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t.

Written by Michaelbrent Collings, “the supernatural thriller centers on a psychiatrist, seeking to find normalcy after the sudden passing of his wife, who takes his two kids to a remote cabin for healing and bonding. Their joy soon turns to despair when the family is terrorized by unknown forces and the father will stop at nothing to save them from peril.

Conner Dwelly (Conner Dwelly) and Ryan Grantham (Goblin, Altitude, Zombie Punch) are in negotiations to play the two kids.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.

There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.

Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.

“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”

Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.

Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
