Would you really want to try to scare James Caan? Haven’t we seen what he does to people that cross him in several films? Apparently It Follows' Keir Gilchrist and co-star Logan Miller didn’t get that memo, as they’ll be making just such an attempt in The Waiting.Kasra Farahani is directing the indie thriller, born from Mark Bianculli and Jeff Richard’s script. The story follows two high school filmmakers (Gilchrist and Miller) who decide that what they really need to do is create the illusion of a haunting on an unsuspecting local neighbour, which we can only assume is Caan. This has all the ingredients for a prank that could go horribly, horribly wrong, be it supernaturally or just with two young punks getting their comeuppance. The film kicks off shooting in Los Angeles in the next couple of weeks. Caan is shooting action-romance...

Usually when you see white smoke emanating from the Vatican, it means that a new Pope has been chosen. That being said, we have a sneaky suspicion that's not gonna be the case here with the new Blumhouse terror tale, White Smoke.
According to Variety, Lionsgate is developing Vatican supernatural thriller White Smoke with horror film titan Jason Blum and Kevin McCormick on board to produce.
The studio has acquired a pitch from Jeff Richard and Mark Bianculli, who are writing the script about a series of bizarre and haunting occurrences that grip the Vatican. A renowned neuroscientist is summoned by the inner circle of cardinals to find a logical explanation.

Because Warner Bros. has such wonderful people, the studio’s enlisted KatzSmith Production partners Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg to work on their recently-acquired script The Waiting. Variety reports that this project will act as Katzenberg‘s directorial debut.
Written by first-time scribes Mark Bianculli and Jeff Richard, the teen thriller follows “two young filmmakers who decide to create the illusion of a haunting on an unsuspecting neighbor.” As you may have guessed (but probably feared), the film will employ a combination of “traditional narrative and found footage” elements.
Since this will be Katzenberg‘s first directing project — various TV shows notwithstanding — there isn’t much I can say about his directing talent. He will, however, be producing alongside Grahame-Smith, who has the experience and seeming knack for these types of stories — he’s the writer behind the Dark Shadows screenplay and the novels Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter & Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Writer/producers Seth Grahame-Smith (yes, the man responsible for Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and David Katzenberg are busy bees right now, with TV shows and movies already in development based either on work they’ve created (see above) and other properties. Despite that, Katzenberg has decided that he wants to add “film director” to his already bulging credit list, scoring the job of making horror movie The Waiting for Warner Bros.The studio bought the spec script from Mark Bianculli and Jeff Richard last month. It follows two young filmmakers who conspire to convince a neighbour that their house is haunted, a scheme that we figure will go badly wrong and lead to some nasty consequences for all involved.According to Variety, the project will blend found footage (the studios’ current medium of choice for horror) and more traditional filmmaking. It’s not Katzenberg’s first time behind the camera,...

Warner Bros. is hustling and bustling on the business front this week — and it’s only Monday! For one, Variety tells us that the studio has, yes, bought yet another fantasy story for the film treatment; this time around, it’s Magic Kingdom of Landover, based on Terry Brooks‘ Magic Kingdom for Sale — Sold! Akiva Goldsman‘s Weed Road Pictures and Grade A Entertainment will produce the picture, which Universal took an unsuccessful stab at back in 2005; Stephen Sommers was tapped to direct at the time, though I imagine he’s gone by this point. (Don’t complain.)
The book, first in a series of six, centers on “a recently widowed lawyer who finds an advertisement in an upscale Christmas catalog claiming to offer a magical kingdom for $1 million by a man named Mr. Meeks. After he purchases Landover, he discovers he must unite the kingdom’s denizens and creatures...
