The dream team of David Chase, creator of the iconic HBO series “The Sopranos,” and Terence Winter, a powerhouse executive producer on the show, are reuniting for a chilling new project – a horror film at New Line Cinema.
A Departure from Familiar Territory:
This may seem like a significant shift in genre for Chase, a seven-time Emmy winner known for his masterful exploration of mob life and complex characters in “The Sopranos.” However, a closer look reveals a hidden thread of horror lurking in Chase’s past. Before “The Sopranos” captivated audiences, Chase honed his writing skills on “Kolchak: The Night Stalker,” a 1970s television series delving into the world of the supernatural. Additionally, he penned “Grave of the Vampire” (1972) and directed an episode of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”
A Legacy of Storytelling:
This reunion holds immense significance for fans. It’s the first collaborative project between Chase and Winter since the legendary “The Sopranos” finale in 2007. Winter, a prolific writer and producer, has since garnered acclaim for his work on “Boardwalk Empire” and The Wolf of Wall Street, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio. Let’s not forget the series “Tulsa King,” which is back for a second season starring Sylvester Stallone.
Shrouded in Secrets:
Plot details for the untitled horror film remain a closely guarded secret. While the specifics are under wraps, Chase’s past experiences hint at a project brimming with suspense and unease.
Partnering with New Line Cinema adds another layer of intrigue. This studio boasts a rich horror legacy, producing classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street and the remake of It.
A Collaborative Force:
Chase and Winter will co-write and produce, with Chase taking the helm as director. Joining them are established producers Nicole Lambert (“The Many Saints of Newark”) and Rachel Winter (The Space Between), Collider reports.
A Future Filled with Frights:
While a release date remains unannounced, one thing is sure: David Chase and Terence Winter‘s foray into horror is sure to be a highly anticipated project with so much talent and such a rich legacy.
