Eric Wick Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) http://deadline.com/2017/08/robin-hood-tyler-perry-uncle-drew-nick-kroll-hellfest-lionsgate-release-film-release-dates-1202158008/ Quote And just in time for Halloween next year, there’s Hellfest from CBS/Lionsgate on October 12. Directed by Gregory Plotkin, it follows a costumed killer who enters a seasonal horror theme park on Halloween night and begins murdering with impunity in front of crowds. Only thing is, they think it’s all part of the show. Hellfest will open versus Universal’s Neil Armstrong biopic First Man, which stars Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy and was directed by La La Land Oscar winner Damien Chazelle. In 2018, we're having two movies about horror theme parks only 3 weeks apart. Edited May 15, 2018 by CoolEric258 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Sometimes it's fun to see how a box office battle plays out (Mirror Mirror vs. Snow White & The Huntsman for example). This versus the next Goosebumps will be really interesting to observe. One is light, and one is dark, just like the aforementioned favorite battle above.

They were likely casting them to add verisimilitude to the part, probably. I think many horror films intentionally cast these D-listers and unknowns so that the audiences view them as self-inserts, artificially making the story more engrossing.

baumer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Will this get a theatrical release? The idea sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Lionsgate must be fleeing Halloween (the movie, not the holiday). This new date is three weeks after The Nun and three weeks before Halloween, so it now has its own window. I'm predicting that it'll have a gross in-between Jigsaw and Happy Death Day.

TheManFromBeyond Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) I like the idea of the film, and I'm always up for a wide released slasher film. I will say that with Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers) previously being attached to the film, going to Gregory Plotkin (who's only feature directorial credit was Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) feels like a step down. Though I think it'd be funny if they marketed it with "From the EDITOR of GET OUT". Also according to IMDb, Gary Dauberman (It, the Conjuring spinoffs) contributed to the script, so that's kinda cool.

Aplandg Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Where’s the trailer? Maybe with Unfriended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I predict confusion over here if it get released. Hellfest is the name of the biggest french metal summer festival. I thought the name's brand was copyrighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxofficerules Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Not even a poster yet, they’re late with the marketing. lionsgate are releasing this, I seem to recall Jigsaw had its Poster and trailer hit in July and that was for a Halloween release.

Krissykins Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Lionsgate are usually good with marketing horror. Maybe they’re going to move this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
