Puppet Master looks set to be the next property to get the reboot treatment, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that Di Bonaventura Pictures and Caliber Media are teaming up for a new take on Charles Band’s cult horror franchise.
The site reports that S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk) has signed on to pen Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, which is intended to be the first movie in a new series featuring “multiple storylines and an expanded mythology”.
“We couldn’t be more excited to take the series in a new direction while embracing all the practical effects and terrifying insanity that fans of the Puppet Master films love,” said Caliber’s Jack Heller, who will produce alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers).
Puppet Master launched in 1989 and spawned a host of sequels, with the eleventh instalment, the crowdfunded Puppet Master: Axis Termination, set for release later this year.
