Film Editor Brian Philip Davis Takes Inside ‘Hokum’ in Our Interview

When it comes to films, one of the most important jobs behind the camera doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I’m talking about the editors who take a string of shots and images and turn them into the movies we know and love. It’s not an easy job, and it truly makes a film what it is. I was excited when I got the confirmation that I would be sitting down with film editor Brian Philip Davis. The man knows horror. After all, he served as editor for some great films, including the vampire movie Boys from County Hell. And he recently reunited with Oddity filmmaker Damian McCarthy for Hokum, one of the biggest horror films of the year. And if you’ve seen it, you know exactly why I’m so excited about it.

Heads Will Roll: Sydney Sweeney Starring in Reimagining of ‘Sleepy Hollow’

Washington Irving’s iconic 1819 short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, has been adapted more than once. We’ve seen him as an animated schoolteacher, a pale Johnny Depp in 1999, and a time-traveling Tom Mison on FOX. Now, a new take on the classic tale is headed your way, with a little bit of spice. Lindsey Anderson Beer, who we interviewed about Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, has penned a bold, contemporary take on classic folklore in her upcoming novel Hollow. Hollywood is so obsessed with the manuscript that a major movie adaptation is already sprinting out of the gate. Katrina Van Tassel Gets an Upgrade According to Deadline, Sydney Sweeney (The Housemaid, Anyone But You) has signed on to both produce and star in the film. Sweeney will be slipping into the corsets of Katrina Van Tassel. She’s the heroine portrayed by Christina Ricci in Tim Burton’s 1999 film. However, don’t expect Katrina to sit around looking pretty while Ichabod Crane
