Here’s an interesting and fun genre film project that’s coming together. Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) and Ben Mendelsohn (Ready Player One) are set to star in a new horror film project titled Molepeople.
The movie is about a secret community lurking below New York City. The film is being pitched as “one man’s nightmarish descent into the abandoned tunnels beneath the streets of New York City, where a twisted society lurks.”
I’ve heard all kinds of stories about the molepeople in New York City and other cities around the country, and I’m surprised that it’s taken this long to actually develop a movie based on that concept.
The film is being directed by Rob Savage (Host, The Boogeyman) from a script written by Nathan Elston (Succession).
Embankment’s Hugo Grumbar said in a statement: “Molepeople fuels a modern audience with shocks and thrills, captivating, heightened feelings of fear. Rob’s direction is stylish; BoulderLight’s understanding of modern audiences is unmatched – and together the filmmakers are best in class.”
Producers Raphael Margules and J.D Lifshitz of BoulderLight Pictures added: “There’s something uniquely terrifying about urban isolation – the idea that in one of the world’s busiest cities, you could vanish without a trace.
“With Anthony Ramos – who’s quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most commanding leading men – alongside the legendary Ben Mendelsohn, we have the perfect contemporary combination to bring this nightmare to life.”
