Meryl Streep has been penned for a chilling, passionate horror role that allegedly surpasses her previous performances by the screenwriter of 'The Long Walk' and 'Strange Darling'.
Meryl Streep, the esteemed actress considered the greatest living actor by JT Mollner, is set to venture into a new genre as she takes on a horror role in the upcoming film, The Long Walk. This dystopian horror movie, scheduled for release on September 12, is one of the many anticipated horror titles slated for 2025.
The Long Walk, penned by JT Mollner, follows a televised competition where young men walk US Route 1, with the winner receiving a lifetime wish. The film has been generating buzz, highlighted in a recent Trailer Feed upload, where it was showcased alongside other upcoming horror movies.
Beyond The Long Walk, the 2025 horror landscape is brimming with excitement. Notable releases include The Conjuring 4: Last Rites, a continuation of the popular Conjuring series, and Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger, which has been praised with a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Fans of horror video game adaptations will be thrilled to see Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 and Black Phone 2, sequels to acclaimed horror films. Additionally, Keeper, directed by Oz Perkins, starring Tatiana Maslany, and Do Not Enter, Alien: Earth, The Toxic Avenger (the return of Troma’s cult classic character), and The Strangers: Chapter 2 are all set to grace the screens.
The upcoming slate also boasts a variety of supernatural, psychological, and slasher subgenres, as hinted by trailers for Queen of Bones, The Rows, Traumatika, Somnium, Whistle, The Jester 2, Pig Hill, Your Host, and Hell House LLC: Lineage.
JT Mollner, the screenwriter behind The Long Walk, has also penned a horror role for Meryl Streep. This role, described as "nasty" and "passionate", is not related to Streep's current or recent projects, such as Only Murders in the Building and Don't Look Up.
Streep, who has primarily focused on drama and comedy throughout her decades-long career, dabbled in comedy horror with the '90s cult classic Death Becomes Her. Her role in the psychological thriller Still of the Night in 1982 further showcases her versatility.
Currently, Streep is filming the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. With her upcoming role in The Long Walk, horror fans are eager to witness another side of the legendary actress.
