EXCLUSIVE: Neil Marshall is in early talks to direct Hellfest, the CBS Films horror project about a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night. The plan is for this to be his next movie and start production by summer next year. The hope is to launch a horror franchise. Scripted by William Penick and Chris Sey, Hellfest is produced by Gale Anne Hurd through her Valhalla Entertainment banner. Marshall last helmed Centurion, and before that Doomsday and The Descent. He’s currently in post production on Blackwater, an episode in the second season of HBO’s Game of Thrones. He’s repped by Principato-Young, ICM and Carlos Goodman.


Is this the retro-fitted ‘Fright Night’ version from a couple years back?
Marshall rules. The Descent was stellar. Doomsday visually amazing. Don’t know why Centurion got dumped to VOD.
This is very impressive but Mitt Romney is still a loser.
finally american debute for Neil Marshall. i hope his make it. good luck for him.
Marshall is a talent, but PLEASE tell me there is more to this film than what the longline implies.
After Game of Thrones, Neil Marshall is a God. Hellfest can’t come soon enough.
I love Neil Marshall and this sounds like a solid franchise. Good luck to all!
More needless soul crushing violent garbage, yay!
Yes, his yet-to-be broadcast episode of Game of Thrones was fantastic. And I do love Dog Soldiers.
Yet another example of ICM imploding. Wait…
It’s so cute that CBS Films is still trying to make movies…
Neil Marshall is a major talent (Centurion was very underrated), but he needs to work with better scripts to get to the next level. The script for Doomsday could have been written by me, it was that amateurish. I’m surprised he hasn’t been tapped for one of the big action franchises yet. He can definitely do action well, and on low budgets too.
Actually, he was originally attached to the first Sherlock Holmes film. He fell out for some reason and Guy Ritchie fell in.
