HANNIBAL's Mads Mikkelsen and Bryan Fuller Start Production on The Horror Film DUST BUNNY
Bryan Fuller and Mads Mikkelsen have teamed back up for a new horror film project titled Dust Bunny, which recently kicked off production in Budapest, Hungary. The two previously worked together on the Hannibal series and fans are excited to see them work together again on this new project.
To celebrate the start of production, Fuller, who is writing and directing the film shared a selfie of himself and Mikkelsen on Instagram. They look very happy to be reunited and the photo came with the caption: "BACK IN THE SADDLE WITH THIS GUY.”
The story follows an “eight-year-old girl who enlists the help of her intriguing neighbor to kill the monster under her bed that she believes ate her family.”
Sigourney Weaver also stars in the movie, which is no doubt going to be a lot of fun! I love the concept for the story, and this is going to be an awesome project for everyone involved.
Entertainment One and Thunder Road will co-produce with Fuller producing alongside Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee. Lee said in a statement: “We have been huge fans of Bryan’s for years. Dust Bunny is incredibly inventive and unlike anything in the marketplace and we are thrilled to help bring his first feature to life.”
Kristen Figeroid, Sierra/Affinity’s Managing Director and Executive Vice President added: “Mads brings such a unique quality to every character he brings to life and his role in Dust Bunny will be no exception. We’re excited to bring a throwback to the family horror films of the 80s, a beloved genre for many, to this year’s market at AFM.”
Maybe one day we’ll see Fuller and Mikkelsen reunite for a revival of Hannibal, which both of them have been wanting to do for years! Mikkelsen recently said: "It's all about finding a home for it. Of course, we're running out of time. We can't wait 20 years. But in the next couple of years, if somebody finds a home, I think we're all ready to take it up again."
