Universal Studios is excited to announce the upcoming release of "Abigail", a new horror movie from the renowned filmmaking team Radio Silence. With a scheduled April 19, 2024 theatrical release date, "Abigail" promises to be a fresh, unique take on legendary monster lore and a new direction for how to celebrate these classic characters.
Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the masterminds behind "Ready or Not", "Scream (2022)", and "Scream VI", "Abigail" was previously titled "Dracula's Daughter". The movie follows the story of a group of would-be criminals who kidnap a 12-year-old ballerina for a $50 million ransom, only to discover that the girl is not a normal child. As the kidnappers become trapped inside an isolated mansion with her, they begin to dwindle one by one, resulting in a horrifying and thrilling story.
The movie stars an impressive cast, including Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, Melissa Barrera, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, and Angus Cloud as the kidnappers, with Alisha Weir playing the role of Abigail. Giancarlo Esposito also appears in the movie. The project is produced by William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, and James Vanderbilt of Project X Entertainment, along with Tripp Vinson, the producer of "Ready or Not". Ron Lynch and Macdara Kelleher serve as executive producers. Stephen Shields wrote the initial screenplay, with Guy Busick doing some revisions.
The film's new trailer and Dolby Cinema poster have been released, and audiences can expect nothing less than an immersive and captivating experience. Dolby Cinema offers viewers the complete Dolby movie experience, unlocking the emotional impact of every film with ultra-vivid colors and immersive sound. "Abigail" is set to be a thrilling and unforgettable adventure that horror movie enthusiasts will not want to miss.
Although the filmmakers had hoped to move on to directing "Scream 7" after finishing "Abigail", they were replaced due to scheduling conflicts. A sequel to "Ready or Not" is also underway without their involvement.
Overall, "Abigail" promises to be a must-see horror movie event that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. Audiences can expect a unique and thrilling take on legendary monster lore, brought to life by an impressive cast and a talented filmmaking team.
