New "Amityville" Movie in Works

New "Amityville" Movie in Works

Yara Sameh
BoulderLight Pictures (Barbarian) and Divide/Conquer (Heart Eyes) are teaming on Amityville, a radical new spin on the famed haunted house story for a new generation.
Joseph and Vanessa Winter, the married writer-director duo behind the excellent SXSW found footage horror movie "Deadstream", are set to direct from their own script. Plot details are under wraps.
Raphael Margules & J.D. Lifshitz will produce for BoulderLight, alongside Adam Hendricks & Greg Gilreath for Divide/Conquer.
Given that BoulderLight has been under a first-look deal with New Line since 2023, that will be the filmmakers' first stop with the material, though it's not yet been exposed to studios.
Producers are looking to fast-track the film, with Q4 2025 being targeted for production.
While you're probably familiar with the Amityville Horror film franchise, going back to the the late '70s, and 1977's instant bestseller of a book from Jay Anson, this film has nothing to do with any of that IP.
It's roots are instead in the famed real-life paranormal story behind those stories, with the film offering a fresh look at the notorious Amityville house itself on 112 Ocean Avenue itself, and a legend situated in the public domain.
That tale begins in 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his parents and four siblings in their home at 112 Ocean in Amityville, New York.
A year or so after the horrific crime, George and Kathy Lutz, along with their three children, moved into the house, unaware of its dark past.
Shortly after settling in, they claimed to experience a series of unsettling paranormal phenomena — among them, unexplained noises, cold spots, foul odors, and sightings of strange apparitions. After 28 days, the family fled the house, unable to endure the alleged supernatural occurrences any longer.
Stuart Rosenberg directed the original Amityville Horror movie, starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder, which grossed over $86 million against a modest budget and has spawned numerous sequels and spin-offs over the course of decades, making for one of horror's most recognizable franchises.
Joseph and Vanessa Winter are coming off their feature debut with "Deadstream," which premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW in 2022, with Joseph also starring, and was released by Shudder.
They are also known for their segment 'To Hell and Back' for V/H/S/99, which had its world premiere at TIFF the same year.
The pair produce their films under their banner, Winterspectre Entertainment.
Soon to see the Warner Bros release of Zach Cregger's sophomore feature, Weapons — the mysterious New Line pic that's one of the most anticipated of the year in the genre space — BoulderLight Pictures previously teamed with Cregger on his breakout horror hit "Barbarian". They're also known for their work on titles like Drew Hancock's sci-fi thriller "Companion," "The Vigil," "Becky," Anna Kendrick's Netflix thriller "Woman of the Hour," and Andrew DeYoung's hit A24 comedy "Friendship", among others.

Egypt & Qatar Intensify Efforts to Broker Gaza Ceasefire

H-Tayea Egypt and Qatar are continuing their mediation efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, amid an escalating humanitarian catastrophe, sources told AlQahera News Channel on Saturday. The situation in Gaza remains dire as Israeli forces intensify their military operations, launching widespread airstrikes and artillery attacks across the enclave. Entire residential blocks have been destroyed, with reports of devastating massacres against civilians, particularly in areas under ground incursions. Thousands of victims remain trapped under the rubble due to the relentless bombing, with rescue operations severely hampered by the dangerous conditions on the ground. The ongoing blockade has tightened further, cutting off essential fuel supplies and urgently needed humanitarian aid. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
