To clarify right out of the gate, Catherine Hardwicke’s (Twilight, Red Riding Hood) next film has nothing whatsoever to do with the Wishmaster franchise that began back in 1997, though it certainly seems to be cut from the same cloth. What do we mean? Read on for details.
Per The Wrap, Hardwicke is in talks to direct the horror-thriller Wish Upon for Broad Green Pictures and Busted Shark Productions, which is being described as a female-driven film. Sherryl Clark (Cloverfield) is producing, having previously worked with Hardwicke on the Blumhouse thriller Plush.
Written by Barbara Marshall, Wish Upon follows a 16-year-old girl who finds a magic box that promises to grant her seven wishes, but with each wish comes dark and gruesome consequences.
Sounds pretty familiar, no?
