Universal Pictures Developing New "MONSTER THRILLER" With Radio Silence Set To Direct

The team known as Radio Silence (V/H/S, Southbound, Scream) have been busy. With the success of SCREAM and SCREAMVI it looks like they are on a roll with horror goodies for fans as a new as of yet untitled feature film is in the works with them and Universal Pictures.

Deadline reports that Radio Silence will next be directing an “Untitled Monster Thriller” for Universal, and it sounds like the mysterious film will be playing with classic characters.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett will direct with Chad Villella serving as producer alongside William Sherak, Paul Neinstein and James Vanderbilt at Project X Entertainment.

The script was written by Stephen Shields, with revisions by Guy Busick.

Deadline notes in today’s report, “In the vein of the Studio’s recent hits like The Invisible Man and Renfield, this untitled monster thriller provides a unique take on legendary monster lore and will represent a fresh, new direction for how to celebrate these classic characters. Universal Monster films are rooted in the horror genre, with no restrictions on budget, rating or genre. They are not part of a shared interconnected universe, which allows each film to stand on its own. This new direction is filmmaker-driven, inviting innovative filmmakers with original, bold ideas for these characters to develop the stories and pitch them.”

We’ll keep you posted if any more news comes out regarding this new project from Radio Silence.
