Updates on Platinum Dunes Projects: ‘Birds’, ‘Butcherhouse’ and More

Published

on

During our interview with Brad Fuller regarding the upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street remake, we got him to give us a few details on some of Platinum Dunes’ upcoming projects, including the remake of the 1987 Fred Dekker cult classic Monster Squad, The Birds the Untitled Ouija Project and The Butcherhouse Chronicles. Read on for the skinny on all of them and tell us which you’d like to see the most.
Producer Brad Fuller on the Monster Squad and The Birds remakes:

We’re all systems go on `Monster Squad’. We’re meeting with writers every day on that, trying to pick a writer to write that…’The Birds’ we’re still trying to figure out.

On The Butcherhouse Chronicles:

`Butcherhouse Chronicles’ right now feels like it’s just kind of…I think that we have a great script, but it doesn’t feel like there’s anything happening on that right now.

On their Untitled Ouija Project:

`Ouija’ isn’t really a horror movie per se, it’s definitely more of a big action-adventure movie along the lines of…I gotta be careful what I compare it to. But you know, it’s like a big action-adventure movie. And that script…I’ve read a couple pages of it, it seems good. I think we’re getting the full script in the next month. And that’s a very exciting project for it, cause it’s a much bigger movie, and it gives us an opportunity to try something we haven’t done before…There are definitely horror elements, because it’s about Ouija and what happens from an Ouija board, but it’s a much bigger film. I would call it an action-adventure with horror elements.

Why is The Grudge listed as TBA on Platinum Dunes’ Wikipedia page? [Assuming it means The Grudge 4.]

I have no idea. I’m not doing anything with `The Grudge’. It’s weird, I just got off the phone with Roy Lee, I thought he’s doing `The Grudge’, but we’re not doing `The Grudge.’

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]

Published

on

Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.

Home Bodies makes its World Premiere July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance. 

An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.

In the film,Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.” 

It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.

Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.

Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.

I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,said Walker.I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.

Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
