Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre director David Blue Garcia is set to direct canine creature feature Zeus, per Variety.
The horror movie follows as “a group of friends are terrorized by a Cane Corso mastiff dog during a lakeside holiday celebration.”
Zeus is written by Tate Hanyok (“The Pet-Nup”) and Shane McKenzie (Bingo Hell).
The film is produced by Mucho Mas Media’s Javier Chapa and executive produced by Phillip Braun alongside Robert Muñoz, Morgan Cano-Long, Simon Wise, Vincent Cordero, Bruce Barshop, plus Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier for Highland Film Group.
“The horror genre continues to thrive, ushering in a new era of exciting films,” producer Chapa told Variety. “We couldn’t imagine a better filmmaker than David Blue Garcia to bring ‘Zeus’ to life—a character destined to become an iconic figure in the world of horror.”
“With the undeniable talent of genre aficionado David Blue Garcia at the helm, we cannot wait to unleash ‘Zeus’ and introduce the carnivorous canine to horror fans around the world,” said Highland Film Group CEO Fraser. Added Highland COO Delphine Perrier: “It’s great to be teaming up again with Mucho Mas’ Javier Chapa and Phillip Braun following the success of our maiden creature collaboration, ‘The Black Demon.’”
What’s even more curious about this news is that Variety notes that Garcia is also “attached to direct a horror feature for Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions,” thought no details at this stage on just what that project may be.
Garcia’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the second most-watched movie on Netflix in the film’s first weekend of release, and a post credit scene left room open for continuation, though no sequel has officially been announced yet.
Zeus is being fast tracked for production, so stay tuned for additional new on this canine creature feature as it arrives.
