Trouble
Deadline reports Danny McBride’s Rough House Pictures is partnering with Spire Animation Studios on Trouble, an animated feature following Jax, “a 13-year-old who gets in trouble with his family, and is swept into a parallel reality known as the World of Trouble. Embarking on a whimsical adventure within this bizarre and fantastic world of chaotic adolescence, he makes new friends, reflects on his character and learns the value of self-forgiveness, all while trying to figure out how to get out of trouble, and get back home.”
Moloch
Deadline has our first look at director Nico van den Brink’s Moloch, a horror film concerning Betriek who “lives at the edge of a peat bog in the North of the Netherlands. When she and her family are attacked by a random stranger one night, Betriek sets out to find an explanation. The more she digs, the more she becomes convinced that she is being hunted by something ancient.” Here’s the first image.
