Thanks for the read. Glad you enjoyed it

Ryan Gosling Wolfman Universal Director Leigh Whannell Blumhouse – Deadline

Too bad Universal didn't realize earlier that hiring horror people to write/direct updated versions of their monsters was the move instead of trying to create a Marvel style connected movie universe of big budget action movies.

Ryan Gosling Wolfman Universal Director Leigh Whannell Blumhouse – Deadline

Saw Gosling and wasn't sure about the fit but Whannel is on it? I have faith.

The Leighiverse gonna outdo the Waniverse?

Yall know I stan concepts and new approaches to storytelling. So I was pretty excited to finally catch up on the movie Maniac (the Elijah Wood one, not the oldie). For those who never heard of it (I had slept on it myself), it's a slasher entirely in first person through the eyes of the killer.

My first impression is that the first person mechanics definitely did hit. There's a voyeur aspect to the character that doubles for you and then when he's unleashing on someone, you're along for the ride in an incredibly uncomfortable way. But it's all character study, flimsy plot that's made more interesting by the ways they play on the killer's perspective. It was mostly just okay to me though.

Elijah Wood bodied his role (this dude is outperforming most scream queens on horror output and performances); the first person thing was definitely a nice touch and that's the reason to give it a look.

Elijah being a horror stan is cool. He could’ve easily just rode his LOTR fame out and done mindless TV for a check, but he’s put out some good horror and he’s always popping up in horror docs.

Yeah, it's wild to see Frodo Baggins as a psychopath or even as just a lonely, weirdo in Come to Daddy. Dude's range is nuts and he's not picking big time roles...Maniac was probably a high risk pick considering how violent and messed up it is. He's got the harmless, but could be a creeper image down pat ever since Sin City.

I haven't seen this movie since probably 2013-2014 but I do remember being impressed with the first person conceit and how things would switch to a more conventional view at the height of the murders the character was committing.

I also how remember thinking how good Elijah Wood was in the role.

I loved how unassuming yet psychopathic Wood was in Sin City.

Blumhouse, Ryan Murphy and John Lee Hancock Adapting Stephen King Story ‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’ for Netflix

The story comes from the New York Times best-selling collection If It Bleeds and follows a young boy who befriends an older billionaire who lives in his small-town neighborhood. They bond over the man’s first iPhone. But when the man dies, the boy discovers that not everything dead is gone and finds himself able to communicate with his friend from the grave by leaving voicemails on the iPhone that was buried with him.

John Lee Hancock, the filmmaker behind The Blind Side and Saving Mr. Banks, has been tapped to write and direct.

Carla Hacken will produce along with Murphy and Blum, with Blumhouse Television’s Marci Wiseman and Jeremy Gold exec producing.

Blumhouse is readying for production on a remake of another King property, Firestarter, for Universal. Mr. Harrigan’s Phone marks the streamer's fourth King project, following Gerald’s Game, 1922 and In the Tall Grass.
