Ti West is about to complete his “X” trilogy with “MaXXXine,” set for July release. He’s already set up his next project via Daniel Richtman’s reporting.
Coming off last year’s “The Iron Claw,” Zac Efron in talks to star in West’s “Night Business.” Based on the cult classic graphic novel of the same name, “Night Business” will be written by Nathaniel Halpern.
In this 1980s-trash-culture homage where a knife-wielding killer is on the loose, committing extreme acts of violence on exotic dancers. Only one man has a will powerful enough to stop this psychopath: Johnny Timothy. But can Johnny mete out his vengeance before more innocent victims have to die? A nasty brew of power, passion, vigilantes, and dangerous men raining street justice down upon their enemies.
West has made a career out of deconstructing the horror genre with films such as “Pearl,” “The House of the Devil,” “The Innkeepers,” “In A Valley of Violence,” and “The Sacrament.” This latest project is definitely in his wheelhouse. No further details were given in terms of additional casting and production dates.
