Tyler Gillett teases his “gory as hell” Universal Monsters movie. American Horror Story: Delicate finds a few more stars. Plus, what’s coming on The Flash, Yellowjackets, and Riverdale. To me, my spoilers!
House of Stairs
Variety reports Jacob Tremblay is attached to star in House of Stairs, a film adaptation of Will Sleator’s 1974 YA sci-fi novel from director Wi Ding Ho. Adapted for the screen by Matthew McInerney-Lacombe, the story follows “five 16-year-old orphans who wake up to find themselves in a strange building with no walls, no ceiling, and no floor: nothing but endless flights of stairs leading in every direction, seemingly infinite. To find an exit, the five teenagers must learn to deal with the others’ disparate personalities, the lack of privacy and comfort, their clear helplessness, and a machine that only feeds them under increasingly ominous situations.”

Xeno
Deadline has word Lulu Wilson, Omari Hardwick and Stargirl’s Trae Romano are attached to star in Xeno, a new sci-fi film from writer, director and VFX artist, Matthew Loren Oates. The story is said to follow a teenage girl who “befriends a terrifying alien that crash-lands in the desert near her home. As government agents close in, the girl protects her dangerous new companion while also dealing with her depressed mother and the mother’s abusive boyfriend.” Excitingly, The Henson Company have been hired to build the film’s alien creature.
You’re Not Me
Variety also reports Global Screen has acquired the distribution rights to You’re Not Me, the debut film from directors Moisés Romera and Marisa Crespo. Set on Christmas, the story concerns a girl named Aitana who returns home for the first time in three years, only to find “her parents have replaced her with an unknown woman. She is her own age, sleeping in her bed, wearing her clothes, living in her house, and treated by her parents as if she were their daughter. From that moment on, torn by jealousy, suspicion, and misunderstanding, Aitana tries to find out what is happening and who the intruder is that has taken her place in the family – until she discovers an unexpected and disturbing truth that is darker and way bloodier than she would ever have thought possible.”
Untitled Universal Monster Movie
During a recent interview with Den of Geek, Tyler Gillett described the mysterious Universal Classic Monsters movie he’s co-directing with Matt Betinelli-Olpin as “fun,” “scary” and “gory as hell.”
I think that we will bring our voice and tone into anything we do, so this movie is no different. It’s fun, it’s funny, it’s emotional. It’s scary. It’s gory as hell. And we got Melissa Barrera, so it’s gonna be a damn good time.
