From the team behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey comes Bambi: The Reckoning, another upcoming movie that will put a horror twist on a classic children’s property.
Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned this week that Roxanne McKee (Wrong Turn 5) will star in Bambi: The Reckoning, alongside Nicola Wright and Tom Mulheron.
Samira Mighty (Beauty and the Beast) will also appear in the upcoming horror movie.
Filming begins on January 6, 2024 in England with a planned Fall 2024 release.
The film follows Xana (Roxanne McKee) and her son Benji (Tom Mulheron) who find themselves in a car wreck and soon hunted down by the vicious killing machine, Bambi.
Bambi will destroy anyone in its path.
Director Dan Allen (Unhinged) previews, “It’s gonna be terrifying. When people see a deer in the wild after this film they’re gonna run for the hills. This film is about the death of childhoods as much as it’s gonna ruin childhoods Expect bloodshed, tears and rabbits… and one mean killer deer. At last, the British countryside will finally get its Godzilla.”
Bambi: The Reckoning is part of a fairytale universe from the team. Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, which will find Tinkerbell injecting pixie dust like its heroin, will be shooting this summer, directed by Scott Jeffrey. More projects within the universe are soon to be announced.
From ITN Studios and Jagged Edge Productions, Bambi: The Reckoning is written by Rhys Warrington, and produced by Scott Jeffrey and Rhys Frake-Waterfield under Jagged Edge Productions (Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey) with ITN Studios handling sales.
It’s Felix Salten’s original novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods from 1923 that’s in the public domain here in 2023, which explains how the team is able to turn it into a horror movie.
Stay tuned for more on all this madness as we learn it.
