‘Scream 6’, ‘Ready Or Not’ Star Samara Weaving Set For Horror ‘Azrael’ – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Ready Or Not and Scream 6 actress Samara Weaving is attached to star in action-horror movie Azrael, which is being eyed by producers as a franchise.

Evan Katz (Haunting Of Bly Manor) is aboard to direct the original script by You’re Next scribe Simon Barrett who has the Godzilla Vs Kong sequel coming in 2024. Principal photography is slated to begin October 10 in Estonia.

Story details are being kept under wraps on this one, but we know that Joker financier Jason Cloth and his C2 Motion Picture Group partner Dave Caplan (The End We Start From) recently won the rights in a competitive situation and will finance and produce. UTA and CAA will co rep world sales.


Also producing are Dan Kagan (Significant Other) and Simon Barrett. Cloth and Katrin Kissa (November) are executive producers.

Weaving’s upcoming films include Damien Chazelle’s Babylon opposite Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie for Paramount; the next instalment in the Scream franchise, also with Paramount; Hulu’s The Valet opposite Eugenio Derbez; Searchlight Pictures’ Chevalier, and the thriller Borderline from Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment.

Sounds intriguing!

So what is it?

I like that Samara Weaving is continuing her streak of horror movies.

Btw for all the people that say she looks like Margot Robbie, I actually think she looks way more like Rebecca Romijn. Maybe the future MCU Mystique?

Currently in post-production, the film is set in a world in which no one speaks and follows a devout female-led community which hunts down a young woman who has escaped her imprisonment. Recaptured by its ruthless leaders, Azrael (Weaving) is due to be sacrificed to pacify an ancient evil deep within the surrounding wilderness – but she has other ideas.
