Momentum Pictures Acquires Blumhouse’s Horror Thriller ‘Bloodline’

Momentum Pictures announced today that it has acquired North American rights to Blumhouse’s latest horror-thriller Bloodline from director Henry Jacobson (“Election Day: Lens Across America”). Jacobson co-wrote the screenplay with Avra Fox-Lerner (Nora) and Will Honley (The Hive), who also wrote the story. The film stars Seann William Scott (American Pie), Mariela Garriga (“NCIS: Los Angeles”), Dale Dickey (Iron Man 3), and Kevin Carroll (“The Leftovers”). In Bloodline, Evan (Seann William Scott) values family above all else, and anyone who gets between him, his wife, and newborn son learns that the hard way. But when it comes to violent tendencies, it seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Bloodline is a visceral, stylized, elevated horror film that we cannot wait to sink our teeth into. Seann Williams Scott delivers a stellar performance – his magnetic presence shows his versatility as an actor,” said Ian Goggins, Momentum Pictures’ senior vice president of content. “Henry and the entire filmmaking team

‘Happy Death Day 2U’ Now Out On Home Video

It’s déjà vu all over again for Tree Gelbman, the snarky sorority sister who solved her own murder by repeatedly reliving her death.

Elisabeth Moss Confirmed For Leigh Whannell’s ‘The Invisible Man’

One of the horror films we’re most looking forward to next is Leigh Whannell‘s Universal Monster reboot of The Invisible Man, which he wrote and will direct. Universal and Blumhouse are teaming up for the film which will hopefully put Universal’s Dark Universe back on track after The Mummy failed to please fans and critics back in 2017. Last month we reported that “The Handmaid’s Tale” actress Elisabeth Moss was in negotiations to star. We can now confirm that the talented actress has now officially signed. Johnny Depp was originally attached but is no longer involved with the project. In the original 1933 film, a scientist finds a way of becoming invisible, but in doing so, he becomes murderously insane. We’ve since seen the film rebooted and remade. It’s also inspired several films including 2000’s Hollow Man.
