Joe Begos, writer/director of Christmas Bloody Christmas – which is now playing in theatres, and is also available to watch on the Shudder streaming service (you can read an 8/10 review from our own JimmyO Here) – is hoping to make two sequels to his holiday horror film. But before he gets to work on those sequels, if they do happen to get made, he’s going to wrap up a horror project he has been working on since the early days of the Covid pandemic lockdowns.

Presented annually to standout LGBTQ-themed titles across the festival’s entire lineup, they have a looser, hipper, more inclusive reputation than other Berlin prizes: fittingly, they’re annually presented not at an exclusive black-tie affair, but a publicly accessible ceremony followed by an almighty dance-’til-dawn party.

Exclusive: Olive Bridge Entertainment’s Will Gluck and Jodi Hildebrand are developing Constance, a magical family hybrid feature for Sony.
Based on his original idea, Onward scribe Keith Bunin is set to write the screenplay, the storyline of which is under wraps.
Gluck counts over $782M WW at the global box office, his most recent hit being Peter Rabbit which grossed over $351M WW. The sequel he directed, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, which was delayed due to Covid, is scheduled to hit theaters on June 11.
Onward, which Bunin co-wrote, was the last notable family film to debut before theaters closed down because of the pandemic last year, opening to $39.1M stateside and grossing $142M before segueing to Disney+. Additionally, Bunin just delivered a feature adaptation of Delorean, which George Clooney will direct for MGM, and an adaptation of the Edith Macefield Story, which will be directed by George C. Wolfe.
