This month, efforts toward Liam Neeson actioner, Retribution have taken years to formulate but the project has officially attached Predators helmer Nimrod Antal to direct. A remake of Dani de la Torre’s El Desconocido (2015), Retribution centers on a bank executive forced to complete a series of tasks whilst trapped in his car with his children, lest the captor holding them hostage via phone detonates the bomb in his car.

Jaume Collet-Serra and Juan Sola at Ombra Films and Andrew Rona and Alex Heinemann at The Picture Company are producing the pic which rolls cameras from next March through June. Studiocanal reportedly sold the film in a raft of territories worldwide following AFM.

Julius Avery (Overlord) is being tapped to direct an original horror thriller set in the world of Dracula IP, Van Helsing, for Universal Pictures. The move is part of the studio’s efforts to recalibrate its priorities for their monster movie IPs following the short-lived Dark Universe. Avery is rewriting the script with Eric Pearson, and with James Wan producing for Atomic Monster with Michael Clear, and with Judson Scott exec producing. Stephen Sommers previously directed the 2004 rendition of Van Helsing starring Hugh Jackman.
