Director Steven Kostanski (The Void) has announced that he is rebooting Roger Corman’s classic Deathstalker. The film is set to star Daniel Bernhardt (John Wick).
Synopsis
Kostanski’s new vision promises a greater emphasis on exploring the series’ fantasy setting and filling it with monsters that will be largely realized through the director’s signature combination of creature suits, prosthetic FX make-up, and stop-motion animation. These effects are courtesy of the director’s newly minted Action Pants FX shop, which recently completed work on Kostanski’s upcoming horror-comedy Frankie Freako.
Kostanski gushes:
The Deathstalker universe is such a fun sandbox to play in. Every installment has played so fast and loose with its lore, which means that there’s no limit to my imagination when it comes to what I can pit Deathstalker against.
Just in case you are not familiar with the original classic, here’s the trailer!
Production should start in Canada in April 2024.
