I’m often asked if I’ll ever return to R-rated horror. The answer is a resounding YES.
After Doctor Strange: In the Mutiverse of Madness, I’ll go straight into a horror film I’ve already written with @Massawyrm.

Man, thanks for all the love, you guys. @scottderrickson and I have been sitting on this secret for a while, but we’re super excited about it. Can’t wait to make it.
Might as well also tell you that it’s an adaptation of a @joe_hill joint. Everything else we gotta keep quiet ATM
