In the world of horror storytelling globally, few creators are as busy on platforms as genre mastermind Mike Flanagan. Lately, fans are waiting to see his most recent entries in the list of upcoming Stephen King adaptations, the upcoming feature film The Life of Chuck, and the Dark. The Tower series is still in progress for Amazon. But it turns out we don’t even have to wait for those projects to arrive to generate even more excellence, as two new Flanagan-focused projects have been announced almost consecutively.
As anyone who’s had the thrill of watching Mike Flanagan’s premieres knows, the writer-director is almost as smart at telling behind-the-scenes facts and anecdotes about his projects as he is at creating the scenes themselves. So it’s no small win for moviegoers that he now has a new podcast devoted entirely to such desirable stories, in the form of a director’s observation with Mike Flanagan.
SpectreVision, the production company of Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Lawrence Inglee, has expanded its presence in the genre with the launch of SpectreVision Radio, which will produce and distribute a variety of podcasts committed to film, music and the arts in general, maintaining to the society on board. for all. Strange and scary things. While some original projects will be additional seasons of existing series, the director’s commentary is part of the new wave of audio programming that horror enthusiasts can get lost in.
The most productive component of this story? We don’t even have to wait to get a feel for the new podcast. Director’s Commentary has already released its first couple of episodes, which serves as an example of how this exclusive format will work. The first episode is a 40-minute interview with the filmmaking collective Radio Silence, consisting of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez and Chad Villella; The second episode is a full verbal exchange between Flanagan and Radio Silence as they watch the 2019 dark horror comedy, Ready or Not.
Assuming there are no changes from week to week, Flanagan will meet with a filmmaker from another genre in each episode for a self-directed verbal exchange, as well as a deep dive into one of the guests’ films. It’s terrifying nerdy catnip to the max.
As wonderful as the above podcast is when it comes to exploring other artists’ paintings, it’s perhaps even more exciting to know that we’ll be looking at another story written by Flanagan that is rarely very similar to any of his other stories. Upcoming paintings. As reported via Variety, Flanagan will once again collaborate with his spouse and common star of the project Kate Siegel for her directorial debut.
It may not be a feature film, though, as the Flanagan/Siegel team will be for the upcoming horror film V/H/S/Beyond, the most recent sequel to the ongoing anthology film series that uses a variety of twisted characters. stories. to celebrate the aesthetics of the videotape and the years of its popularity. Could the “Beyond” component of the name mean that we are going to enter the Laserdisc and DVD formats?It is not transparent at the moment, but what is transparent is the list of filmmakers who made the “spooky tapes” of the film, as noted below.
If Kate Seigel’s “Stowaway” is indeed the last V/H/S/Beyond film, it may simply be the ordinary anchor point of the work that ties it all together. But who am I kidding? Even if it’s just five minutes of crazy nonsense, it’s still one of my favorite horror reports of 2024.
V/H/S/Beyond will make its streaming debut exclusively on Shudder on Friday, October 4, though it’s not yet clear when Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck will hit theaters. While we wait for more highlights and a sneak peek at the upcoming anthology feature, watch everything else on the big screen with our 2024 release schedule.
