Now he\u2019s slipping into the world of cinema with Dust Bunny, his characteristically colorful, imaginative feature directorial debut. The film reunites Fuller with television\u2019s Hannibal Lecter, Mads Mikkelsen, who leads a cast that includes Sophie Sloan, Sigourney Weaver, and David Dastmalchian. After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, the movie is slated to open in theaters December 5.<\/p>\n<p>According to the synopsis for Dust Bunny, \u201cTen-year-old Aurora (Sloan) has a mysterious neighbor (Mikkelsen) who kills real-life monsters. He\u2019s a hit man for hire. So, when Aurora needs help killing the monster she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services. Suspecting that her parents may have fallen victim to assassins gunning for him, Aurora\u2019s neighbor guiltily takes the job. Now, to protect her, he\u2019ll need to battle an onslaught of assassins\u2015and accept that some monsters are real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>Mikkelsen has described Dust Bunny as \u201creally sweet and funny,\u201d though the trailer leans more into murder, mayhem, and darkness. (Weaver\u2019s observation that \u201cYou seem triggered\u201d might be a laugh line, but is in and of itself fairly triggering in this day and age.) If the project carries a whiff of John Wick about it, that\u2019s no coincidence: both assassin tales are produced by Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible script. It\u2019s unlike anything I\u2019ve worked on before,\u201d Lee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1239461\/john-wick-producer-erica-lee-on-more-spin-offs-and-what-didnt-make-it-into-chapter-4-exclusive-interview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told SlashFilm<\/a> in 2023. \u201cI mean, Bryan Fuller\u2019s brain is somewhere that I just want to sit inside of. It\u2019s visual and interesting. It\u2019s like if David Fincher had directed Amelie. It is insane. And Mads is a singular talent. I worked with him a couple times on the Clash Of The Titans movies. And they have an amazing relationship. And Mads is playing an assassin, and it\u2019s just really fucking cool.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryan Fuller made his bones as a television auteur, the mind behind cult classics like Pushing Daisies and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-10172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
