Álvarez and Legendary are in talks to revisit Tobe Hooper’s 1974 slasher-that-started-them-all with a direct sequel to the film, à la the recent “Halloween” and “Terminator” films.
“I’d love to make another one,” Raimi tells Bloody Disgusting about the future of his cult favorite horror franchise.
Filmmaker Fede Alvarez explained to IndieWire how the Emmy-winning actress’ role as Queen Elizabeth made it clear she could play misanthropic hacker Lisbeth Salander.
After directing two cult favorite horror movies, Alvarez joins the big leagues as the director of “The Girl in the Spider’s Web.”
The filmmaker tells IndieWire he was inspired to join the franchise by a simple, but radical idea: to finally make a film centered on “feminine icon” Lisbeth Salander.
Filmmaker Fede Alvarez’s first foray into Stieg Larsson’s complex mythology boasts a revelatory new leading lady, but the story sinks under its own overwrought weight.
“I think that Fede is incredible, I think he is genius,” raves Foy about her “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” director.
Claire Foy rocks short hair and rides a motorcycle as production on “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” wraps up in Stockholm, Sweden.
Claire Foy’s breakout year just got even bigger.
Production on the Fede Alvarez-directed film is set to begin this September with a tentative release date planned for October, 2018.
Alvarez will direct from a screenplay by his “Spider’s Web” co-writer Jay Basu.
“Don’t Breathe” director Fede Alvarez has also been confirmed as the director of the new Lisbeth Salander drama.
