FANGORIA Sets Its Gaze On "MEDUSA" For New Horror Film!

Medusa may be a Greek myth/monster but man is her story just as horrific as her looks. The fine fiends over at Fangoria realized this and are now in the works on a new film focusing on the misunderstood Gorgon.

Deadline reports that Anna Chazelle (Narrow, Anemone) has been set to write, direct, and Executive Produce the upcoming project.

“It’s easy to demonize Medusa, but her story is filled with justifiable feminine rage, both at the gods who created her and the mortals who seek to destroy her,” Chazelle told Deadline. “I’m excited to dive into the tale of her nascence into the Greek pantheon and hopefully challenge the widely-accepted definition of Medusa as a mere monster.”

“Medusa is a global icon, yet her story has been overlooked for far too long,” said Aghaeian, who serves as SVP of Fangoria Studios. “Anna’s interpretation of Medusa against the backdrop of Ancient Greece will make for a cinematic journey to remember.”

Tara Ansley, Armen Aghaeian, and Abhi Goel will produce the film for Fangoria Studios, with Phil Wurtzel exec producing through his production company, Friel Films.
