David Cronenberg's Next Film Might Be ‘Consumed'

December 18, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Back in September, David Cronenberg's “The Shrouds” finally received U.S. distribution, courtesy of Janus Films and Sideshow, with a spring 2025 release planned.

In a new interview, at the Marrakech Film Festival, Cronenberg says he’s not retired, and plans on making another film, potentially based on his own 2014 novel “Consumed.”

I’ve written a novel, it’s called “Consumed,” and there’s a producer who thinks I should make a movie based on my own novel, and I think he may be right. So, I’m going to start writing the script, and if it works then that could be my next movie.

“Consumed” is a thriller that weaves a tale of sex, cannibalism, disease, geopolitics and 3D printing. The story centers on a romantic and professional couple of journalists. The husband ends up contracting a mysterious sexually transmitted disease known as Roiphe’s disease. He discovers that the doctor who is the namesake of the disease lives in Toronto, so he travels there looking for treatment.

Cronenberg almost quit making films after 2014’s “Maps to the Stars” only to come back eight years later with “Crimes of the Future.”At the 2022 San Sebastián Film Festival, Cronenberg admitted that he almost quit making films and he was very serious about it. “I thought I was finished, but I hope to commit more crimes in the future, by making more films.”

Cronenberg, a maverick who has always flown by his own artistic free will, for five decades now, is known for such classics as “Videodrome,” “The Fly,” “Dead Ringers,” and “A History of Violence.”
