For only the second time in his career, Leone is set to direct a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/terrifier-3-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">non-Terrifier<\/a> movie, entitled Tortures Of The Damned. The last time he directed a movie that didn\u2019t involve the titular terrifier, Art the Clown, was 2016\u2019s Frankenstein Vs. The Mummy. Before that, he directed proto-versions of his breakout horror series, All Hallows\u2019 Eve, and a short film version of Terrifier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new film will begin pre-production after Leone finishes Terrifier 4, and will also serve as the director\u2019s entr\u00e9e into Hollywood studios\u2014Lionsgate, in this case. Written, directed, and produced by Leone, he\u2019ll be joined by the godfathers of his campy hypergore style, Evil Dead creators Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, who will produce the film through Ghost House. The plot is still under wraps, but we have to imagine it\u2019ll be Leone\u2019s talent for creative and gruesome bloodshed that puts butts in seats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmmaker Damien Leone is going to do something he hasn\u2019t done in more than a decade: Direct a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-613325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
