** Dario Argento: Italian filmmaker Dario Argento presented his new horror thriller trilogy at the Marché du Film's Fantastic Pavilion in Cannes, where he was also honored with the genre hub's Keys to the Pavilion award.

The famed maestro of giallo cinema, who is attending the festival for the Cannes Classics screening of Giuseppe Patroni Griffi's 1968 drama LOVE CIRCLE, which he co-penned, presented the three new projects with director Gabriele Altobelli and producer Giovanni Di Gianfrancesco of Rome-based Mattia's Film.

The event screened the first footage of FLESH OF MY FLESH (CARNE DELLA MIA CARNE), which Altobelli is currently shooting near Rome. It tells the story of three mothers investigating the disappearance of a teenage girl, described as "a realistic and unsparing portrait of evil in its most unsettling form: everyday, unsuspected, the evil next door" and a "deliberate departure from Argento's signature atmospheric horror" that "marks a new register for the maestro's storytelling."

The second screenplay, THE GIRL WITH CRYSTAL ETES (LA BAMBINA DAGLI OCCHI DI CRISTALLO), follows the encounter between a charming businessman and a mysterious woman whose passion drags him into a spiral of tragic murders. Production is set to begin in autumn 2026, with Argento overseeing artistic supervision of the project.

The third film, THE BLACK VELVET MASK (LA MASCGERA DU VELLUTO NERO), scheduled for production in 2027, explores the minds of three young women from different social backgrounds and origins, united by the same nightmare: a man in a black velvet mask assaults them and throws them from a balcony. The victims manage to unmask him — but when they wake, they cannot remember his face.

The trilogy will will be produced across several European countries in Italian, English and Spanish. Born from the collaboration between Argento and producer Di Gianfrancesco, the three-film slate is produced by Argento and Mattia's Film with Neo Art handling international sales.

Refn acquired the rights over a decade ago and has spent many years trying to do a remake of the property. He came close back in 2017 when an Ed Brubaker-penned version was in the works. Of the newest attempt, Refn says:

"The concept has always appealed to me. In today's political and social climate, the iconography of MANIAC COP alone provokes an immediate, uneasy reaction. I've been watching it all unfold while constructing this project in the shadows... waiting. Now, that moment has finally arrived. The time has come to unveil a radical new vision where there is no protection, no safety net, only mayhem..." (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

** MAGIC remake: Sam Raimi has settled on his next directing effort. As his follow-up to SEND HELP, his twisty survival thriller released by 20th Century/Disney earlier this year, Raimi will direct MAGIC, Lionsgate's modern take on a William Goldman novel that was previously turned into a 1978 cult horror classic that featured Anthony Hopkins as a mentally unstable ventriloquist.

Raimi was already on board to produce the update, having set it at his eponymous production company last year. Also producing are Roy Lee as well as Chris Hammond and Tim Sullivan, the latter two who long championed the project and guided its development by tracking down the original rights.

Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, who wrote SEND HELP for Raimi and who previously penned FREDDY VS. JASON and the remake of FRIDAY THE 13th, wrote the script for MAGIC, which will be an updated take on the 1976 novel by William Goldman. (Goldman also wrote the script for the original adaptation.)

MAGIC starred Hopkins as Corky, a magician who reaches fame alongside his ventriloquist's dummy, the obnoxious and wisecracking Fats. Faced with the prospect of signing a network deal for his own show but afraid of revealing his fragile mental state, the magician takes off for the Catskills, where he tries to reconnect with a high school love, even as Fats begins to murderously take control of the situation.

** IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU: Award-winning actor, writer, and comedian Patton Oswalt has signed on as Executive Producer for IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU, the next feature documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe. The project - a global archival treasure hunt for decaying prints of F.W. Murnau's seminal vampire classic - began principal photography earlier this month.

The film follows Philippe and British archivist Lauren Newport-Quinn on a personal journey across the globe - from Edinburgh to Mexico City, Seoul to Bratislava - to uncover and examine surviving copies of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece. Rejecting the notion of a single "perfect" version, the project champions the material decay and geographical diversity of the prints as essential to the film's emotional and historical DNA. Leaning on Newport-Quinn's rare form of synesthesia, in which she 'hears' visual distortions, the project will culminate in a reinvention of Nosferatu itself - recut from the diverse prints discovered during production, with a brand-new score informed by her unique sensory experience. All prints will be scanned and made available to the public via a free, accessible online portal, preserving their individual beauty and decay for future generations.

** PIECES 4K UHD: Coming soon to 4K UHD from Grindhouse Releasing. The co-eds of a Boston college campus are targeted by a mysterious killer who is creating a human jigsaw puzzle from their body parts.

** CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST 4K UHD: Coming soon to 4K UHD from Grindhouse Releasing in a six disc box set with a version of the movie no one's ever seen before. Here's what Bob Murawski had to say;

"A couple of versions, 2 versions of the movie nobody's ever seen before. So I had access to all the original negative and including all the 16mm fake documentary footage. But all the original 16 millimeter footage is in its original aspect ratio of four by three.

So as an alternate version of the movie we're intercutting between the two formats. I mean, it's not going to be the only version of the movie. Obviously the classic theatrical version is going to be on, but there's going to be an option to watch it with all that footage and four by three where you see probably, you know, 35% more image area, top and bottom. And it's funny because when you see it in, in that aspect ratio, you can actually see that they probably framed it for that as well."

** THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE reboot: Upstart filmmaker Curry Barker continues his mainstream Hollywood takeover with a big new gig: director on A24's anticipated film reboot of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

Variety has learned exclusively that Barker will take the lead on the project, billed by insiders as a "reimagining" of the 1974 horror classic created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel. Barker's vision for the famed killer Leatherface and the gaggle of young things he terrorizes is under wraps. The film is being developed alongside a THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE TV series from Barnstorm's Glen Powel and Dan Cohen, and director JT Mollner.

Barker's rise has been swift, and Focus Features is less than a month out from releasing his acclaimed festival player OBSESSION, about a man whose wish for the love of a female friend turns deadly. That film was acquired in a bidding war that fetched a $14 million sale out of the Toronto International Film Festival. THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE takes Barker from his $800 debut feature MILK & SERIAL on YouTube to one of the most prestigious arthouse brands in the industry.

Curry is currently in production on ANYTHING BUT GHOSTS at Blumhouse, serving as director, co-writer and star. The film centers on two fraudulent paranormal investigators who are forced to face real ghosts — and the lies underpinning their business. He's also part of the internet sketch comedy duo That's a Bad Idea alongside creative partner Cooper Tomlinson. Barker is repped by Underground Management, United Talent Agency and The Lede Company.

The new THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE film will be produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures, and Stuart Manashil and Exurbia Films' Pat Cassidy, Ian Henkel and Kim Henkel. Ben Ross of Image Nation serves as executive producer. (thanks to Variety.com)

** LONGLEGS: Osgood Perkins is working on a new LONGLEGS feature, a follow-up to the filmmaker's mystery horror thriller that became highest-grossing independent film of the past decade. And in a twist out of the LONGLEGS playbook, rather than original distributor Neon being involved, this one has Skydance-owned Paramount Pictures as the project's new home.

Paramount has picked up the rights to the new mystery LONGLEGS project, which Perkins has written and will direct as well as produce. Nicolas Cage is returning as star and producer. Paramount and Perkins are keeping details in the basement but sources stress that this new LONGLEGS is not a sequel but something "set in the LONGLEGS universe."

LONGLEGS was an out-of-nowhere hit when released by Neon in 2024, launching Perkins as a name horror filmmaker and establishing the star bona fides of Maika Monroe. The actress starred as an FBI agent with an aptitude for clairvoyance, who investigates a series of murder-suicides in Oregon that are connected to serial killer nicknamed Longlegs. Cage played Longlegs in a gonzo performance.

LONGLEGS earned $128 million worldwide on a budget of less than $10 million, becoming Neon's highest-grossing domestic outing. The movie swirled several potent ingredients in its cauldron, among them the occult, mind manipulation, Satanic worship, creepy dolls and a crime procedural, making the story's world fertile for more exploration.

** THE FLOOD: Back in November, news broke that WAEPONS and BARBARIAN director Zach Cregger was no longer be in the running to direct the sci-fi horror feature THE FLOOD at Netflix. At the time, it was indicated that Netflix tried to court Cregger to direct, but the two sides had reached an impasse over Netflix not wanting to do a theatrical release – and Cregger wouldn't get on board unless he got a firm one. Cregger moved on, filming his new take on RESIDENT EVIL due this Fall and developing a WEAPONS prequel spin-off centered on Amy Madigan's Oscar-winning turn as Aunt Gladys.

Now though, the World of Reel web site is reporting that after months of discussions, Cregger and Netflix have reportedly reached a deal for THE FLOOD to potentially be his next film. A decision hasn't been made yet, but Cregger is aiming to shoot something this Fall. Their source suggests Cregger's film could potentially get the kind of theatrical rollout the company has planned for Greta Gerwig's NARNIA film this Fall.

THE FLOOD follows a deep-space exploration team aboard the vessel Spiritus Mundi. They pick up a strange, recurring signal from a remote planet and investigate – only to discover a bizarre alien artifact that starts warping time, reality, and the crew's minds. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

NEON will be co-producing the film with Good Fear Content. Mitchell is producing with Jake Weiner and Chris Bender of Good Fear Content, as well as the original producers of It Follows, David Kaplan, Erik Rommesmo, Rebecca Green, and Laura Smith.

Make Monroe said THEY FOLLOW is her "next job" during an interview with Josh Horowitz. She added that the script is "very dark" – and if Horowitz thought IT FOLLOWS was an 8 or 9 out of 10 on the "effed up scale," then THEY FOLLOW will be a 15 or 16. "We're pushing the boundaries on this one for sure."

She previously told Discussing Film, "I was sent the script and I thought it was incredible. It's also very different from the original. I felt the original was a litle more heightened and dramatic, and this I think is really quite grounded. (The sequel) follows the story of these two women that are just mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was a really interesting take on it." (thanks to JoBlo.com)

** R.I.P. Jamie Blanks: Australian filmmaker Jamie Blanks has died, the Melbourne-raised director passed away at the age of 54. On Friday morning, Blanks' family issued a statement on X announcing his death saying: "His death was unexpected, despite some ill health in recent years. It comes at a time when Jamie was preparing to direct another film. He was still very active supporting other film-makers and developing his own projects."

Blanks rose to fame when he missed out on the job of directing SCREAM. When the script for I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER came by his desk, he wanted to show producers what he could do. Spending $3,000 and calling in favours, he created a faux trailer for the film which was very well received – trouble is they had already hired Jim Gillespie to direct the film.

They promised they would find something for him, and nine months later came back with URBAN LEGEND which proved a hit – the Alicia Witt, Jared Leto, Tara Reid and Joshua Jackson-led film grossing more than $70 million worldwide. Impressive for a 26-year-old filmmaker with only one student film and a faux trailer under his belt. He followed that up with 2001's VALENTINE which didn't fare as well. A few years later he helmed a pair of Aussie horror films – the killer bogan movie STORM WARNING and the Jim Caviezel-led remake of 1970s psychothriller classic LONG WEEKEND.

"Halloween wouldn't be Halloween without a good story about kids being trapped inside a pumpkin," Stine said in a statement. "I'm so happy that we are going to have another pumpkin head adventure on Tubi."

Tubi boss Adam Lewinson added, "Few storytellers have shaped the horror genre for young audiences as profoundly as R.L. Stine, and his work continues to find new life with each generation. Given the breakout success of PUMPKINHEAD, we're going deeper into this mythology and continuing our commitment to fans of young adult horror." (thanks to ComingSoon.net)

** TERRIFIER 4: From director Damien Leone;

Hey guys! Since there's so much TERRIFIER 4 speculation and false information out there, I wanted to drop in and give an official update.

The script is very close to completion, and I'm hoping to begin pre-production this spring. This is the most precious script I've written for many reasons, but it's also the most challenging. There's a lot of material to tackle and a lot riding on this one, not just creatively but emotionally.

We've built something special together over the years. The cast and crew who have been here since the beginning deserve a finale that honors their dedication, and the fans who've championed this franchise deserve something unforgettable.

In all honesty, I'm thrilled with the way it's turning out and confident it will deliver. I will officially announce when the script is complete on my social media pages which also means we'll be moving into pre-production. If you don't see it coming from or confirmed by me, then it's not official.

Thank you for your patience. I promise it will be worth the wait! "Stay Terrified!!"

** SCREAM 7: Despite the worst reviews of the series, and a B- CinemaScore from audiences, Paramount and Spyglass' SCREAM 7 came in atop the box-office, beating all pre-release expectations. The Neve Campbell-led title pulled in a $64.1 million domestic opening and a further $33.1 million overseas for a $97.2 million global debut. Around $7.1 million of that global total came from IMAX alone.

Those numbers are way ahead of the $44 million domestic and $60 million worldwide projected totals last week. Domestically, it's also the best horror opening ever for Paramount, and the best opening ever for a February horror movie. The film was created with a final production budget of $45 million, meaning it has more than doubled that already and should be quite profitable before it leaves cinemas.
