James Wan Set to Direct Original Horror Movie

Aquaman filmmaker James Wan is heading back to his indie horror roots for his next project. Before he moves to Aquaman 2, which he is producing and is expected to direct, Wan will helm an untitled original thriller that is due to begin production this fall.

Plot details are being kept secret, but the film is expected to be a slice of horror Wan hasn't yet explored.

I hope the movie is called “Original Horror Movie”

Cannes will love it.

 

[Kane52630]

SO meta.

 

[Sawyer]

I was really hoping he'd squeeze in directing Salem's Lot before Aquaman 2, but I won't argue with an original project.

[Sawyer]

^That was my first thought, though this being at New Line rather than Fox does give me pause.

I’m sorry, but has Annabelle Wallis ever been good in… anything? She’s like pretty wallpaper in every movie I see her in.

 

[Sawyer]

God, I love that title design.

Trailer looks good too. Like Giallo mixed with Nightmare on Elm Street.

 

[DarkKnight88]

So this is where all the creativity lacking from Conjuring 3 went!

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Annabelle Wallis has never impressed me much as an actress either, but damn does this look promising and I'm always down for some original horror.

This looks really creative, but I just wish they got a stronger actress for the lead role.

Yeah, to me, she’ll always be Henry’s most boring wife on The Tudors.

I liked it.
