‘Wither’ and ‘Puppet Master’ Directors Set Up Next, ‘They Cast No Shadows’
Sonny Laguna and Tommy Wiklund, the dynamic duo behind Swedish Evil Dead inspired splatterfest Wither, as well as the forthcoming Puppet Master reboot, The Littlest Reich, have begun work on their next horror venture.
Laguna and Wiklund are reteaming once again for They Cast No Shadows, from a script they co-wrote with regular collaborator David Liljeblad.
“In 1963, Laura and her sister Beth is the sole heirs of an enormous estate, including a mansion, on a small remote island just off the coast. Beth has been unemployed for a long time and is a heavy drinker, a troubled soul. She wants to sell everything off as soon as possible. But her big sister Laura has a brief memory of living there as small children with her grandmother. But that on one rainy night, everybody left in a hurry, including the staff working there. The children were sent to an orphanage home without any explanation and never heard from their grandmother again. Laura decides she wants to learn more about their distant relatives and takes a trip to the island. Upon arrival, their family history is slowly revealing itself in photos and diaries. But something about the past is hidden away, so dark and menacing, it will not let Laura leave while still alive.”
Jenny Pellicer (pictured below), who stars in the duo’s Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, will play Laura.
The filmmakers seeking more cast as they ramp up development.

Sounds interesting. Out of all the upcoming movies in 2018 I am looking forward to seeing 'Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich' the most and I just got the newest movie, 'Puppet Master: Axis Termination' (which came out earlier this year) on Amazon and have it packed away. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the 'Puppet Master' movies 'The Littlest Reich' will be the 13th movie in the series and it is going to be set in a different universe than the other 'Puppet Master' movies and will be kinda like a reboot but a new movie at the same time. It is worth noting 'Axxis Termination' is not the end of the original franchise though and Charles Band has announced they will continue releasing new 'Puppet Master' movies under Full Moon and already have 2 more in development meaning we will have two different 'Puppet Master' franchises going at the same time which I believe is a first in Horror movie history.
Me too, that’s why 3 is my favorite.
