Our buds at Dread Central sent us word that Make-Up Effects maestro Greg Nicotero (he does basically every single movie that requires a severed head or spray of blood) has set his eyes on directing (much as his old pal Robert Kurtzman has in recent years). The project in question sounds like it’s right up his alley: Author Joe R. Lansdale’s THE DRIVE-IN.
When a group of friends decided to spend a day at the world’s largest Drive-In theater horror fest, they expected to see tons of bloody murders, rampaging madmen, and mayhem – but only on the screen. As a mysterious force traps all the patrons inside the Drive-In, the worst in humanity comes out.
It should be noted that nothing has been finalized, these are just talks at the moment – but cool talks! In addition, Nicotero has stated that he wants to direct an episode for the upcoming MASTERS OF HORROR season. Might they decide to just make THE DRIVE-IN as an MOH episode? Time will tell. (Lansdale wrote the story for the very first MOH ep: Don Coscarelli’s INCIDENT ON AND OFF A MOUNTAIN ROAD.)
