Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, the makers of Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 1 & 2, are expanding their public domain-fueled horror enterprise into The Twisted Childhood Universe.
The slate will feature previously announced stand-alone films Bambi: The Reckoning, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare and Pinocchio Unstrung and introduce new characters such as Sleeping Beauty, The Mad Hatter and Rabbit from Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey. All of these characters will culminate in the upcoming film Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble in 2025.
“It will be complete carnage. We are heavily influenced by Freddy vs. Jason and The Avengers,” said Jagged Edge Producer Rhys Frake-Waterfield. “We would love to see a horror movie where the villains group together and are going after their survivors. We have some incredible set pieces in mind and some sequences I think will truly shock people. The movies we are working on now as standalones are all building towards Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.”
Scott Chambers, Producer of Jagged Edge, adds, “Similar to The Avengers we will follow Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, The Mad Hatter, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell joining forces to wreak havoc. We are working with a larger scale budget on this one and are excited for what the future will hold. When you see the stand alone movies you will see the easter eggs hinting toward the crossover. Some of the villains also will not see eye to eye, which will allow for some carnage within the group in some epic sequence of monster vs. monster.”
Frake-Waterfield is set to direct the mash-up movie. Casting is to include Scott Chambers returning as Christopher Robin, Megan Plactio as Wendy Darling, Roxanne Mckee as Xana and Lewis Santer as Tigger. More casting announcements to come. Stuart Alson and Nicole Holland serve as executive producers. Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble is a Jagged Edge Production with ITN Studios and Premiere Entertainment handling sales.
The latest film from ITN Studios & Jagged Edge Productions, Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, hits theaters March 26, 27 & 28 from Fathom Events. Tickets can be purchased online at Fathom Events or at participating theater box offices. The end credits will feature an exclusive first look at the Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.
