Tommaso Boddi / 2026 Getty Images / Slaven Vlasic Ben Wheatley (“Normal”) is taking over directing duties for Paramount Primal and Blumhouse Atomic Monster‘s upcoming movie, “Molepeople.”
Rob Savage (“The Boogeyman, “Other Mommy”), who was set to helm the project, has departed due to scheduling conflicts, with previously announced star LaKeith Stanfield also exiting the film.
“Molepeople” was announced earlier this month during Blumhouse Atomic Monster’s New York Comic-Con presentation. Nathan Elston wrote the script for the horror movie about a man who descends into the abandoned tunnels beneath New York City, where he discovers a “twisted society lurking beneath the streets.” The film — co-financed and co-produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Paramount Primal, with Paramount handling worldwide distribution — is set for theatrical release on Aug. 27, 2027.
