The Alamo Drafthouse movie chain looks set to hit $350,000 in ticket sales this November and December from Jon Favreau’s Will Ferrell-starring holiday favorite Elf. The 2003 comedy, about a human baby raised in Santa’s North Pole workshop who returns to New York and saves Christmas, is the chain’s top all-time repertory title, with cumulative grosses passing $1.5 million as fans flock to its movie watch-parties with costumed hosts, props, present wrapping and spaghetti-with-maple-syrup eating contests — Buddy the Elf’s favorite food. The chain ordered 30,000 elf hats this year.
‘Saw’ Alum Shawnee Smith Circling 10th Installment As Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand & Michael Beach Sign On
08.12.2022 - 22:47 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Veteran Saw cast member Shawnee Smith is circling the newest installment in the billion-dollar horror franchise from Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures, which is currently in production in Mexico City, Deadline hears.
While the studio declined to comment on Smith’s casting, we understand that it has continued to expand its cast for the tenth Saw film following the closing of deals for Synnøve Macody Lund (Ragnarok), Steven Brand (The Sandman) and Michael Beach (Dahmer). Then, there’s horror icon Tobin Bell, who will return for another go-round as Jigsaw Killer John Kramer, as previously announced.
Details as to the plot of the new film are under wraps, though we know that franchise veteran Kevin Greuter — who helmed Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter, and edited Saw I through V and Jigsaw — has returned as director. While there’s no word yet on the characters to be played by Lund, Brand and Beach, Smith will presumably reprise her role as Amanda Young in some form — perhaps via flashbacks, as in a couple of past installments.
Introduced as one of Kramer’s victims in the original 2004 film, Young was later revealed to be an apprentice of the killer, known for forcing captives to play deadly games, before meeting her end in Saw III. The tenth Saw is slated for release on October 27, 2023.
Smith has also previously starred in the sitcoms Becker and Anger Management for CBS and FX. Other notable film credits include The Grudge 3, The Island, Armageddon, Leaving Las Vegas and The Blob. She’ll also soon be seen in the Apple TV+ series City on Fire with Jemima Kirke, John Cameron Mitchell and more.
Lund is a Norwegian actress and director who currently stars in Netflix’s series, Ragnarok. Additional TV credits include
