JT Mollner, director of last year’s Strange Darling and writer of this year’s Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, is shooting his shot over on Twitter. And it’s one hell of a shot.

Mollner tweets, “I’ve written something for Meryl Streep.”

And yes, it’s a horror movie…

“It’s a nasty, passionate horror role like nothing she’s ever played,” Mollner continues. “She’s our greatest living actor, so I know it’s a long shot, but damn would it be cool if she said yes.”

A three-time Oscar winner, Meryl Streep is known as one of the all-time greatest actors, but she hasn’t been seen anywhere near the horror genre since Robert Zemeckis’ comedy-horror Death Becomes Her back in 1992. Streep did work with Wes Craven back in 1999 on Music of the Heart, the rare film in Craven’s filmography that was far outside the horror genre.

Streep did play the Witch in the 2014 fantasy film Into the Woods, but it sounds like Mollner has something much more horrific in mind for Streep with this untitled project.

Check out Mollner’s tweet below and keep your fingers crossed for him. If anyone can take home an Academy Award for the horror genre, it’s most definitely Meryl Streep!

I’ve written something for Meryl Streep. It’s a nasty, passionate horror role like nothing she’s ever played. She’s our greatest living actor, so I know it’s a long shot, but damn would it be cool if she said yes.

It had been originally announced last year that Tim Burton is attached to direct a new take on Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, and a massive update has now been provided.

Variety reports that Margot Robbie (Barbie) is in “early conversations” to star in Tim Burton’s Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, though a deal hasn’t closed at this time. If Robbie comes on board to star, she would also produce through her company LuckyChap Entertainment.

Variety details, “Gillian Flynn penned a first draft of the screenplay, but has since exited the project due to other commitments. The producing team is currently searching for a new writer, and Robbie’s involvement as the lead actor would depend on the final version.”

The original Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was directed by Nathan Hertz and released in 1958. The low-budget movie was remade by HBO in 1993, with Daryl Hannah in the title role.

Allison Hayes starred in the original as a socialite who grows to giant size because of an alien encounter and an aborted murder attempt. She then goes after her cheating husband. 

Tim Burton is producing Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman for Warner Bros. with Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. Kai Dolbashian is on board as an Executive Producer.

You can watch the trailers for the 1958 and 1993 versions below.

Patrick Rea (I Am Lisa, Nailbiter, They Wait in the Dark, The Night Is Young) is back with new horror film Super Happy Fun Clown, and we’ve learned this week that Entertainment Squad’s genre label The Horror Collective has picked up worldwide rights.

Described as “a blood-soaked, darkly comedic slasher,” Super Happy Fun Clown stars Jennifer Seward (I Am Lisa, The Stylist) as Jennifer, a former child prodigy turned Jenn‑O the Clown, wielding twisted inspirations drawn from classic movie monsters and infamous killers during one unforgettable Halloween night.

Deborah Madick and Violet Rea also star.

Super Happy Fun Clown is written and executive produced by Eric Winkler (I Am Lisa), based on a previously released short film that was also written by Eric Winkler.

“This is a character piece wrapped in a slasher candy shell,” said Patrick Rea. “We wanted something emotionally raw yet gleefully unhinged and Jenn‑O delivers both in spades. The Horror Collective is the perfect partner to unleash her on the world.”

Eric Winkler, writer/producer, adds, “While we’re honored to help rectify a glaring lack of female clown horror movies, the film is ultimately an exploration of the blurring lines of what it means to be successful. Do you feel empathy for Jenn-O? Should you?”

Super Happy Fun Clown will play at FrightFest UK on Sunday, August 24 at 4:00pm, in Odeon LUXE West End, Screen 1. Watch the previously released teaser trailer below.
